Her co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, and Gemma Chan also hit the red carpet.

Larson stars as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in the 1990s-set stand-alone movie, and explores her past as she returns to Earth.

The story follows Danvers as she becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.

Chan said she was "thrilled" to be a part of the film.

"That was part of the main attraction for me - getting to be part of the first female-led Marvel film and getting to work with Brie Larson, who I've admired for a long time".

In "Captain Marvel," Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury.

"I like being in them, It's a great kind of addition to the boy games I played when I was a kid, when my friends and I pretended to be superheroes or super anything. And it's an extra special joy to be able to be on the inside of it and actually be around those people when they have their costumes on and look super."

"Captain Marvel" will be released worldwide next week starting from Wednesday.
