"Iman is the future," Larson tells EW. "She is the perfect Ms. Marvel and the most incredible person and castmate. I'm so excited for her success and I'm so excited to see what she will do with her life because she can do anything she wants. She's one of my favorite people on this earth."

"A huge part of why I wanted to play Captain Marvel was because of Ms. Marvel and what that meant," Larson says. "To see that character realized by such a brilliant human with so much potential is just a really exciting thing."

"I feel like the big joke is always that you're being schooled by people younger than you," Larson says with a laugh. "So I'm sure there are ways that I've been able to be of service to her, but also at the same time, she teaches me so much every single day. I'm just grateful for her friendship."

Why does everyone talk like this about her? She's great but I've yet to see her walk on water.
