It all began with some banter on Twitter, with
War Machine
actor
Don Cheadle posting a picture of himself gracefully kneeling on one knee alongside Captain Marvel star
Brie Larson, who sported an identical pose. “@brielarson why you be copying …? (sic),” asked Cheadle. To which, his Avengers: Endgame co-star responded, “That’s easy – I wanna be more like you! (sic).” And fans just couldn’t contain their excitement! They have been calling for a romance to materialise between the two superheroes onscreen ever since this tweet surfaced.
Here are some of the reactions and fan fiction:
Earlier, Cheadle was all over the news for defending Larson after a video published by a body language expert went viral, as the expert criticised Larson’s appearance and behaviour in a joint interview, stating that Cheadle and
Chris Hemsworth’s body language was “relaxed” while Larson was “stiff” and “trying to be taller than these gentlemen”. And Cheadle was quick to retaliate. “You should see my ‘body language’ right now. This is some of the funniest stuff i’ve ever heard. Brie was trying to keep her ponytail behind her because her hair stylist kept flying in and fixing it. She’s actually being over accommodating. Amazing (sic),” he had commented.
So, it’s evidently the camaraderie that makes fans get this idea in their heads.
