Don’t mess withBrie LarsonandGal Gadot!
The actresses — widely known for their roles asCaptain MarvelandWonder Woman, respectively — came together for a pair of fun selfies at the2020 Oscarsearlier this month, subsequently proving that the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe can, in fact, exist harmoniously.
Gadot, 34, and Larson, 30, were glammed up for the evening, during which they both helpedSigourney Weaverintroduce Eimear Noone, the ceremony’sfirst-ever female conductor. Noone went on to conduct a medley of all the best score nominees.
In the first selfie that bothLarson(who worea custom Gucci gown) and Gadot (inGivenchy Haute Couture) shared on their Instagram accounts on Thursday, Larson had her hands loosely around Gadot’s neck as theyappeared to be ready toengage in a good-old-fashioned throw down.
But their huge smiles gave theplayful side of the photo-opaway — as did the second snapshot, which showed Gadot puckering up for the camera as she shared a friendly embrace with her Oscar-winner pal. “Make love, not war,” both women wrote in the photo set’s caption.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the photos may have been almost three years in the making. In June 2017 — less than two weeks afterWonder Womanhit theatersin the U.S. — Larson retweeted acomic-book rendering ofCaptain Marvel and Wonder Woman posing for a fun picture.
In the art, Captain Marvel is on the left (just as Larson was in her Oscars photos with Gadot), while Wonder Woman is on the right, sticking her tongue out for the illustration.
“Would be so cool if someone can get@brielarsonand@GalGadotto recreate this.@PattyJenks#WonderWoman#CaptainMarvel,” the original poster tweeted alongside the photo.
Larson clearly couldn’t have agreed more, re-posting the tweetwith her own commentarythat read simply, “Mood!!!”
