Flying in an F16 is like your skin being pulled back,
your eyeballs, kind of, like coming out of their sockets,
and everything just like raising up.
It's like, you know, when you have a great sense
of something and your hairs stand up?
That's kind of the sense you get when you're in a jet.
So to have that experience, and then bring it back to set,
and being in the simulator and going,
"I know how to fly a jet. This is easy.
I did this last week."
It's pretty fantastic.
I'm Saara from CBC Kids News, I'm one of the kid contributors.
I'm 14 years old.
Yes and you're owning it. I love it.
Saara: Thank you.
Please introduce yourself, where you're from,
who you play in Captain Marvel.
Sure.
I'm Lashana Lynch.
I play Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel,
and I'm from London.
Represent.
My dad is to.
Really? Amazing!
Got my British passport.
Yes! Okay, girl!
Saara: All right.
So can you tell us a little bit about Maria Rambeau
and her relationship with Captain Marvel.
Oh Maria is--
She's just incredible as a human being,
and she's a really good friend, first, and foremost.
She really moves from a place of understanding.
Her and Carol grew up in the military,
and they trained together, created a bond,
and then when that bond was broken, when Carol disappeared,
she kind of felt like a part of herself was gone as well.
So then when she re-entered her life, it's like--
You know when you haven't seen your friend in like a day,
and you're like,
"I can't live without you! Never leave me again!"
That's kind of what it felt like.
And it felt like that with Brie as well!
Whenever we'd have like a day off it felt like,
"Oh my gosh, we don't get to connect."
So we've had a lot of these big embraces, and we get back,
and yeah, we're able to inject that into the character.
Saara: A true sisterhood.
Yeah, exactly.
Now March 8th is International Women's Day,
to me, one of the most notable days of the year,
and Captain Marvel is being released
on International Women's Day on Friday.
So was this a coinciden-- coincidence, was it planned?
Is it important to you that it's being released on this date?
Yeah! I think it's the perfect day release a movie like this,
don't you think?
This is such a good celebration of women,
and young girls as well,
we just get to watch ourselves having fun on screen,
and taking over the world which doesn't always happen.
So now that it is happening,
it's nice to universally,
kind of, have that experience together all in one go,
and just celebrate the movie, celebrate each other,
celebrate where we go as women.
Yes. Celebrating all the women.
Yes.
Now your cast mate Brie Larson who, of course,
plays Captain Marvel, in a previous interview said
that if there was a Captain Marvel 2,
her dream would be to fight alongside Kamala Khan,
Miss Marvel.
Yes.
How do you feel about this?
Would you be excited about this?
I've been wanting that.
When she said that I was,
like, "Yes. Take the words out my mouth."
Yeah.
There's just so many that could come together
and make like a big, like, Girl Squad.
Saara: Yes.
But she should definitely be the forefront--
Like Taylor Swift's girl SWAT.
Exactly! Exactly like that!
So there would be her,
there'll be us two kind of
there, like, doing our thing as well,
There'll be Monica Rambeau.
Suri he should be in there as the scientist that she is.
Do you know what I mean?
There's another one called Suzi Endo
who's Japanese, I believe,
and she's uses her brain as her power as well.
I think all of them together would make the perfect movie.
Yeah.
Should we just create it?
Yes!
I'll be Kamala Khan.
Sure! You'd be perfect.
Saara: Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much.
Now why do you think it's so important
that Marvel has created a movie that's not only--
that not only has females at the forefront of the movie on screen
but also behind the camera?
What message does that send across to young girls my age?
It's nice to have conversations with out girlfriends
and connect and all of that.
But if we're not seeing it on screen,
then we just don't feel like we're represented.
So in order to celebrate that,
we need to keep having conversations that are going
to lead us to this point where we always have these movies.
This is really a special moment for us in celebrating this.
But we want it to be to the point where, like, we don't
really have to talk about it anymore,
and we're just like,
"Oh, there's 10 movies out this year that are fronted
by a female superhero."
Do you know what I mean?
I didn't have that when I was a kid.
And it's nice that a lot of the younger generation
now are going to get to experience that.
Their mentality is going to be completely different.
They're going to grow up very, literally,
knowing that they can take over the world.
They'll probably be able to do what Captain Marvel can do
in 10 years from now.
I can't wait.
I know.
I'd love to have hands like that.
I know. I know.
