[Brie Larson](http://time.com/5403533/brie-larson-captain-marvel-smile/) and Samuel L. Jackson are here to offer [_A Star Is Born_ ](http://time.com/5382763/a-star-is-born-review/)fans a fresh new take on “Shallow.” During a Friday appearance on _The Jonathan Ross Show_ to promote their highly-anticipated new movie _Captain Marvel_, Larson and Jackson broke out into a soulful rendition of the hit love song as Ross, Jennifer Hudson and Will.i.am nodded their heads in approval. Ross even went so far as to throw his shoe in front of the dueting duo, Hudson’s signature move on _The Voice_ when she truly loves a performance. Larson and Jackson’s natural chemistry is good news for Marvel fans, as the two are set to appear opposite each other as superhero Carol Danvers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury in _Captain_ _Marvel_, the final installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ahead of the release of _Avengers: Endgame_. _Captain Marvel_ hits theaters on March 8.
