Captain Marvel star Brie Larson has stopped counting how many hours she's put into Fortnite within the last year, but it's a lot.

So, because there's little else to do, she decided to video call her Marvel Cinematic Universe pal, Tessa Thompson, from her "gaming cave" to show Valkyrie the ropes of the battle royale game.

"I've lost a lot of my life to this game is what I'm saying," says Larson, before jumping into it, leaving the game's Captain Marvel outfit in the lobby. The pair establish their two goals: win and tame a wolf — and one of these goes better than the other. For anyone who doesn't know how to play Fortnite, it's actually a good intro, and it's worth it for Larson's shot at around six minutes.

Larson launched her own YouTube channel in July 2020, and since then has done an impressive number of videos featuring interviews, panel discussions, exercise routines, cooking, and learning dance routines — all wholesome stuff, really. Gaming-wise, she’s showed fans around her Animal Crossing: New Horizons island, which feels really First Quarantine right now.

Larson should think about Twitch too?
