WOAH!
Brie Larson can lift 215lbs after training for her new film 'Captain Marvel'.
The 28-year-old actress spent nine months training extensively for the fantasy/action movie - in which she portrays superhero Carol Danvers - and was shocked by how heavy the weights were she was incorporating into her regime once she'd wrapped.
Speaking to Variety, she said: "I will say that I learned that I'm much stronger than I realise in playing her. My highest right now is 215lbs in deadlifts. 400lb hip thrusts. Being able to lift weight like that really changed my perspective and understanding of myself."
Development of the movie began back in 2013 and, although production only started earlier this year, Larson has admitted she still can't believe she's playing the lead.
