Lashana Lynch had the best reaction ever when she was cast in ‘Captain Marvel’

Being cast in a superhero movie is a big deal. That goes double when joining the wildly successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. Strong emotional reactions to hearing the news are expected, but Lashana Lynch’s hilarious and heartfelt response to landing the role of Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel is the greatest ever.

“I heard ‘congratulations’ and literally just dropped on the ground, crying in sobs of tears,” Lynch tells Entertainment Weekly, having heard the news while she was out to dinner. “My friends were filming me, just jumping up and down.” All of that sheer joy then gave way to the common human need of running an errand.
