On Monday, Brie Larson shared an image from her upcoming film Captain Marvel even if encouraging everyone to vote upon 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 upon it. This number is not unaided functional, but it leads to a phone sex line. Check out the photo below.
While it's hard to look here, the phone number upon the telephone reads 1-800-654-2192 (via Reddit). It seems that Disney taking into consideration used this number for television shows same to the way the 555 numbers are used in movies and TV today. The 1-800 number was taking into consideration seen in the commercials for the Tipton Hotel upon The Suite moving picture 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 statement from ABC or to the fictional Boston hotel. appropriately the shared MCU/Disney Channel universe is not canon. The number upon 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 still even a thing.
It's not sure 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 unaided and could use someone to chat to. most likely Carol Danvers wound happening upon the phone taking into consideration Jennifer Jason Leigh's phone sex operator from Robert Altman's curt Cuts. Or most likely she was calling to hang out taking into consideration Zack and Cody at the Tipton. We may never know.
I'm not sure if Brie Larson's Instagram reveal encouraged people to get out and vote. Hopefully it did, but it has probably caused "America's hottest chat line" to look a sure uptick in the number of calls it is receiving. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those calls is Disney a pain to purchase the number back. Or Disney could just go the Justice League route and use CGI to scrub out and fiddle with the number in post.
If I had to tolerate a wild guess at how exactly a phone sex number wound happening upon a payphone in a still from a Disney film, I'd tell that the payphone is a prop that Disney has had since 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 upon it. Nobody thought to check to make sure that was still the case, and here we are.
