Brie Larson and Gal Gadot’s Epic Marvel-DC Mashup at the Oscars Captured in Vintage Selfies
Even though they portray characters from different superhero universes, Brie Larson and Gal Gadot showed love, not war, in some nostalgic selfies they posted. Both Larson, aged 30, and Gadot, aged 34, uploaded a set of selfies on Instagram with the same caption – ‘Spread love, not war.’ Larson is famous for her role as Captain Marvel in Marvel Studios, while Gadot is known for playing Wonder Woman, but they both spread the same positive message with their fun selfies.
Conflict: Although they portray characters from rival superhero worlds, Brie Larson and Gal Gadot showcased a message of peace and unity in nostalgic selfies. In the first picture, Larson donned a stunning pink Celine dress with a cape, while Gadot looked equally glamorous in a black Givenchy gown. The playful image captured Larson pretending to strangle Gadot, who responded by grabbing onto one of Larson’s earrings. This lighthearted moment symbolized the ‘war’ aspect of their roles. However, in the second photo, both actresses were all smiles, embodying love and friendship. It’s a bittersweet reminder for fans that seeing their characters together on screen is only a dream, as Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman exist in separate cinematic universes.
