Larson was engaging with the press outside of the main stage area when she was asked what appeared to be a simple, straight-forward question about the longevity of her role as Captain Marvel. The video clip shows the actress become visibly irritated and her eyes widened as she gestured and snapped back with sarcasm. She turned away from the reporter and faced the camera directly.

The moment quickly became awkward and tense, and the reported made an attempt to approach the question in a different way. “Don’t be so modest,” he said, as he flashed a nervous look to the cameraman. He put the microphone back in front of Larson in hopes that she would explain her answer in some way.
Larson wasn’t having it. She was clearly upset and looked jittery as she began talking quickly. She shrugged her shoulders sarcastically. “I don’t know, I really don’t know. I don’t have the answer to that,” Larson said.
