Another video posted to her Instagram account shows the blonde beauty weighed down by metal chains as she does push-ups which was captioned: "Getting stronger is a process I'm committed to showing up for everyday."

Fellow MCU actress Zoe Saldana - who plays Gamora in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films - can empathise with Brie's struggle to get in shape for the action packed film and offered her support to her comic book movie peer.

Commenting on Brie's post, Zoe wrote: "Proud of you woman! You surrendered to your strength. I'm so proud of you baby [sic]"

Aside from an intense training schedule, Brie is also getting hands-on experience to educate herself about portraying a pilot by visiting Nevada's Air Force Base.

Posting a picture of the trip to Instagram, she said:

Carol Danvers is a US Air Force Pilot whose DNA is fused with an alien in an accident, giving her super-strength, energy projection and super-human flight abilities.
