On Monday, Brie Larson shared an image from her upcoming film Captain Marvel though encouraging everyone to vote on Election Day. The image is seemingly innocuous enough, showing the titular hero in her Starforce uniform standing at a payphone. But presumably unbeknownst to Brie Larson, the payphone in the photo actually has a 1-800 number on it. This number is not on your own functional, but it leads to a phone sex line. Check out the photo below.
While it's difficult to look here, the phone number on the telephone reads 1-800-654-2192 (via Reddit). It seems that Disney taking into account used this number for television shows thesame to the exaggeration the 555 numbers are used in movies and TV today. The 1-800 number was taking into account seen in the commercials for the Tipton Hotel on The Suite dynamism of Zack and Cody.
Well, the Tipton and Disney must have allow the number go because it no longer leads callers to a pre-recorded proclamation from ABC or to the fictional Boston hotel. hence the shared MCU/Disney Channel universe is not canon. The number on Captain Marvel's payphone is now used by a phone sex hotline. Check for yourself if you must, but yeah, it's legit.
I don't know whether it's more shocking that this oversight happened below the tight boat Disney runs or that phone sex lines are yet even a thing.
It's not certain if Captain Marvel was calling the number, but if she was, no judgment here, Captain Marvel just got to Earth and doesn't know anybody, and she's probably a tiny on your own and could use someone to talk to. most likely Carol Danvers wound going on on the phone taking into account Jennifer Jason Leigh's phone sex operator from Robert Altman's short Cuts. Or most likely she was calling to hang out taking into account Zack and Cody at the Tipton. We may never know.
I'm not certain if Brie Larson's Instagram state encouraged people to get out and vote. Hopefully it did, but it has probably caused "America's hottest talk line" to look a certain uptick in the number of calls it is receiving. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those calls is Disney exasperating to buy the number back. Or Disney could just go the Justice League route and use CGI to scrub out and correct the number in post.
If I had to understand a wild guess at how exactly a phone sex number wound going on on a payphone in a yet from a Disney film, I'd tell that the payphone is a prop that Disney has had in the past the company owned the number. This movie is set in the '90s and a payphone was needed. This one was dragged out from wherever it was stored, knowing that it had a Disney-owned number on it. Nobody thought to check to create certain that was yet the case, and here we are.
