Are The MCU's Samuel L. Jackson And Brie Larson Friends In Real Life?

After their wild experience together on "Kong: Skull Island," the two became even closer during the filming of "Unicorn Store" in 2016. The colorful and imaginative tale follows a lost woman in her 20s named Kit (Larson) who finally gets to live her dream of having her very own unicorn. Samuel L. Jackson plays the Salesman, who guides her through this vivid new world of wonder.

The film turned out to be exactly what they both needed as the nation received unsettling news during its production. As Jackson told Rolling Stone, "We bonded through the election while we were doing her movie when Donald Trump won. She was broken and I was like, 'Don't let 'em break you. You have to be strong now.'" Their relationship continued through their next collaboration: the unfairly divisive MCU installment "Captain Marvel."

Jackson recalled, "When she got Captain Marvel, she called me and was like, 'They want me in the Marvel Universe. Should I do it?' And I was like, 'Hell yeah! Let's do it!' But she's not going to let any of that stuff destroy her. These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she's a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she's genuinely that."

Thankfully, Larson has a strong and caring friend like Jackson to support her during hard times, which also strengthens their on-screen chemistry. And lucky for us, we'll be able to witness even more of this magical pairing when "The Marvels" lands in theaters on November 10.
