Sandberg has experienced backlash due to the delay of the second trailer. However, the backlash against Captain Marvel seems to have increased following comments star Brie Larson made earlier this month. "About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male," she said. "So, I spoke to Dr Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive."

Larson has since clarified that statement, explaining she only wants "to bring more seats up to the table."
