Brie Larson

After initially missing out on a part in United States of Tara, Larson contemplated returning to education instead of acting.

The Captain Marvel told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2017: "I was toying with the idea of either studying interior design or marine biology, but then I got a call."

This call was regarding a second chance to audition for United States of Tara – where she was offered the role of Kate Gregson as show bosses opted to recast the part.
