Looks like Brie Larson is bringing out the big guns to play Captain Marvel in the next Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
Or so we’re guessing based on a photo the Oscar-winning actress posted on social media Monday that showed her (on the right) working out with “G.L.O.W.” star and sort-of-name-sharer Alison Brie.
Larson even honored the moment by coining a new name for herself and her workout buddy.

The photo inspired all sorts of excited reactions from fans of both Bries.

I was expecting Avengers 4 to be the best crossover event but this crossobrier is all I wanted

One fan wanted to make things perfectly clear to people unfamiliar with these two actresses.

To make it even, the guy in the middle changed his name to Alison Larson.
Some had questions. Lots of questions.
Is this for the community movie?! =O

If Brie married Alison, would she take Alison's last name? 😝

The photo drove one guy to offer Marvel a casting suggestion for a future film.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Someone needs to put @AlisonBrie in the MCU! She's make a GREAT Spider-Woman / Jessica Drew! @brielarson @MarvelStudios

Another summed up the overall feeling with a slightly cheesy pun.
You all have no idea how bad I needed this. There’s a Brieze coming through 😎 @alisonbrie @brielarson https://t.co/hy9jsvnteJ
