“Look, we all know that Hollywood has an age problem with women. Would I like to see more women onscreen over 40? Fuck yes. Women with power as protagonists and physical heroines? Fuck yes. But it’s hard for me to opine on Carol’s age without knowing what the film is. Are we going to be dealing with Carol when she got her powers? My Carol was a Colonel [in the Air Force], so she was older. But I don’t want that to undermine my support of a young woman who has a billion-dollar franchise on her shoulders. I am emphatically on her team no matter how old she is because she’s the one who got it. She’s publicly had this role for 24 hours. I have a lot people following my lead and I’m not going to tell the choir that she’s not right.”

I think a bigger problem is, how old they cast characters who are supposed to be teens. They cast these 20 somethings as 15 year olds, and dress them like 20 somethings. I think it dangerously messes with people's ideas of adolescence. Particularly for the real kids, who find themselves wondering, "Why don't I look like that?"
