Tessa Thompson Wrote Brie Larson's TIME 100 Profile & Now We're Crying

Every year, TIME Magazine releases their list of the 100 most influential people, and one of the stand-outs in the 2019 batch is none other than Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larson!

The best part about being in the TIME 100 is that every honoree gets a mini-profile written about them and their work and influence. Because the universe likes to work in beautiful, mysterious ways sometimes, Brie's upcoming Avengers: Endgame costar and bisexual actress Tessa Thompson wrote her profile, and it's literally one of the sweetest, most empowering things we've ever read.

"Brie Larson is a warrior on- and offscreen," Tessa wrote, talking about the Oscar winner's long legacy of activism. "When she’s not shattering records and stereotypes as Captain Marvel in Marvel Studios’ first female-led superhero movie—which has made more than $1 billion at the global box office—she’s fighting fiercely for gender equality, inclusivity and an end to sexual harassment in the workplace." 

She continued: 

"Brie is primed to be one of Marvel’s next big leaders at a time when women are breaking ceilings in all spaces. She is in a position to make real systemic change in Hollywood. I’m elated to see someone so pure of intention wield that power."
