Brie Larson found worldwide fame with Captain Marvel, but this wasn’t the first blockbuster that she set her eyes on. The Oscar-winning actress revealed she auditioned for several hit franchises before becoming a part of the MCU.

Larson recently launched her own YouTube channel and shared a clip titled, “So, I made a decision…” In the video, she looks back at some of her past auditions, including her failed attempt to score a role in Terminator: Genisys.

“I was actually thinking about the Terminator reboot today because I got a flat tire and I was like ‘Oh the last time I got a flat tire was when I was driving into my audition for Terminator. Got a flat tire at the audition and then didn’t get the job,” said Larson.

Terminator wasn’t the only franchise that failed to make room for the Captain Marvel star. Larson also auditioned for The Hunger Games and one of the Star Wars movies, before the MCU welcomed her into their world.
