Brie Larson knows that being in such great shape comes at a price

The 32-year-old Oscar winner shared a photo, flaunting her superhero abs and the bruises she has to show for it.

"Summer is here but bruises from training are in every season," she captioned the photo of herself posing in an orange and white floral bikini.

Larson's post was quickly met with commenters applauding her toned abs and complimenting her swimsuit.

In an interview in February, the actress said that while training for her role in 2019's "Captain Marvel," she pushed her body "far beyond" her expectations.

"I started this journey thinking I'll get strong and I had no idea. I went far beyond what I ever believed was possible for my body," she said. "Being able to hip thrust 400 pounds, deadlift 200 pounds, push my trainer's Jeep, I mean, it's an incredible experience to realize what's inside of you is well beyond what you knew was possible."

Brie Larson also admitted that before joining the Marvel Universe, she wasn't thrilled about going to the gym.

"I affectionately called myself 'an introvert with asthma' before I got to play Carol Danvers and I started training first out of sheer panic," she said.

"That's part of why it's no surprise to me that this character has been able to reverberate outward because she first and foremost changed my life," Larson added. "So it makes sense to me that she could change other lives too."

Some fans were hoping Brie Larson in Captain Marvel would be wearing the infamous bathing suit costume

The first movie of 2019 from Marvel was released March 9. Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck stars Brie Larson as the eponymous superhero, considered one of the most powerful beings in Marvel comics.

Her non-superhero name is Carol Danvers and she is half-human, half-Kree. The movie is set in the '90s and reveals to us how Captain Marvel and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) became acquaintances, while we get to know her origins.

There is one thing about Ms Marvel that is not very acceptable in the world today - her tight-hugging 'swimsuit' like costume.

Marvel studio boss Kevin Feige wrote, "If you look at the comics, the further you go back, the less clothes Carol Danvers seems to be wearing. Oftentimes it's a one-piece bathing suit basically, with outrageous comic proportions."

We really don't want another controversy of sexualising female costumes like Justice League did with the Amazonian warriors' outfits.

Brie Larson took her Captain Marvel training very seriously, and she built up some muscles under her superhero costume. But, thankfully, she didn't have to show off those muscles in a one-piece. Her status as an Air Force pilot has definitely been featured in the trailers, and the movie even renamed her comic book cat "Goose" in honor of Top Gun.

Even without baring skin, superhero costumes are notoriously uncomfortable for women and and men. In a way, that's one good thing about modern superheroes -- it's pretty much equal opportunity when it comes to form-fitting costumes showing everything.
