Brie Larson posts photo of herself reading "Captain Marvel" comic

Brie Larson is gearing up to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with some very important reading material.

Last month, the "Room" Oscar-winner was tapped to play superhero Captain Marvel in the company's first female-fronted film, set for a March 2019 release.

Which means Larson has some time to boost her knowledge of the character -- and she's apparently already getting started. On Sunday, Larson posted a cute photo to Instagram of herself reclining on a couch reading a "Captain Marvel" comic -- while wearing a version of the character's costume.

"LARSON INDUSTRIES R&D DEPT.," she captioned the pic.
