The 26-year-old actress is in early talks to play the lead in the first female-led superhero movie by Marvel Studios and she's also the studio's first choice, according to an article on Wednesday by Variety.

Larson earlier this year won the Oscar for Best Actress for her work in the 2015 drama Room.

A director has not yet been attached to the project.
