Will Cannes jury member Brie Larson be watching Johnny Depp's opening night film? “You’ll see, I guess, if I will see it,' she says. 'And I don’t know how I’ll feel about it if I do.'
. It’s the embattled actor’s first leading role in three years, following highly publicized legal battles with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
When pressed, she added, “You’ll see, I guess, if I will see it. And I don’t know how I’ll feel about it if I do.” Larson has been an outspoken advocate of #MeToo and victims of sexual assault. When she presented Casey Affleck, who was sued by two women for allegations of harassment, with the best actor Oscar in 2017, she didn’t clap even as the rest of the crowd gave the “Manchester by the Sea” star a standing ovation.
Many of the inquiries during Tuesday’s presser were lobbed at Larson, an Oscar winner for “Room” and star of Disney and Marvel’s billion-dollar blockbuster “Captain Marvel.” Should superhero spectacles and art films exist in the same festival?
