Brie Larson has been pretty outspoken in the past about alleged review
bombing of Captain Marvel by sexist fans, but something has changed
recently, and now it seems pretty clear that Larson is absolutely
determined to avoid this topic at all costs.  Does this signal a
fundamental shift in Hollywood?
Or is it evidence of something else?

I had not considered that.

 I know that she like a lot of other marvel actors got a three picture
contract when they thought they were going to be big and then psychotic
talentless imbeciles like Larson crashed and burned.  Marvel realized they
had a loophole because the contracts didn’t specify the actor had to be the
lead in the picture so even something like her showing up in the last five
minutes of avengers and getting her face beat in counted, as well as
satisfying the audience.
 So she got:
Captain Marvel
Avengers Endgame
An uncredited cameo or something I don’t even remember in Shang-Chi and the
Legend of the Ten Rings
Then they shoehorned her into the Ms. Marvel TV show which I seem to recall
her complaining about bitterly (as did I)
And then The Marvels which she also complained about bitterly.
 But no matter how you do the math she’s had her three strikes

Yeah, there is no talk that I've heard of her ever appearing in the MCU again. Not even in the upcoming Avengers flick.

Also, Nissan seems to have gotten rid of her as well.

DON'T JINX IT!!

 Nissan only seems to be trying to sell cars to the diverse now.

Nissan is likely going away - they're merging with Honda, and I can't imagine that the final name of the combined entity won't be "Honda".
