It’s not unusual for Hollywood stars to drop in on their own films during opening, especially if the movie is playing in Los Angeles. But it’s rarer for the star of a film to appear in a random theater on the other side of the country. This weekend, Captain Marvel‘s Brie Larson made a surprise appearance at AMC Clifton Commons theater in New Jersey. As depicted in this clip from Marvel’s twitter account, Larson was also wearing a custom made Captain Marvel inspired tracksuit.

Regardless, Captain Marvel is now the seventh highest opening for the MCU. It’s also the third highest opening for the month of March, behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.
