Brie Larson is glowing when she talks about playing Rosalina in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is set to hit theaters on April 1. According to NBC, she enjoys a passion for gaming and has a lifelong love for Nintendo games, which made this new role so fulfilling. She shared that her earliest memories involve playing Super Mario, making this the “best and easiest press tour” of her career since it connects so well with her family’s gaming traditions.
However, some folks like Geeky REAL GINGER Sparkles, who goes by @desert_starr_57 on X, were quick to interpret her joy as a sign she’s “grown up” and is “far more genuine and happy here,” suggesting that “being miserable and activisty about everything makes you miserable.” This narrative, painting Larson as a “miserable activist” who has only just found happiness, completely ignores her actual history and the genuine passion she’s always shown for her work.
