With "Captain Marvel" on the horizon, Netflix has snapped up two forthcoming Brie Larson films.

Larson and producer Lynette Howell Taylor reached a two-picture deal with the streamer, Deadline reports. First up is "Unicorn Store," a film Larson stars in and directed, a first for her. The second movie is "Lady Business," which will again star the actress and likely be directed by her, too.

The story of how Larson came to make her directorial debut with "Unicorn Store" is an interesting one. She originally auditioned for a role and didn't get the part. At one point, Rebel Wilson was attached to star and Miguel Arteta was to direct. However, the timing didn't work out, per The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, and Larson was given the chance to both headline and helm the film.

In "Unicorn Store," Larson plays a woman who moves back in with her parents and has her ideas of growing up tested after receiving an invitation to a special store. Her co-stars include Joan Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Bradley Whitford, Mamoudou Athie, and Hamish Linklater.

Meanwhile, "Lady Business" centers on two real-life women entrepreneurs, Penelope Gazin and Kate Dwyer, who were struggling to be taken seriously. To get business "street cred," so to speak, they came up with an imaginary male that they pretended was the third founder of their company.

The films join Larson's ever-growing list of films. Not only does she star in the upcoming "Captain Marvel," she has appeared in the likes of "The Glass Castle," "Kong: Skull Island," "Room," and more.

"Unicorn Store" already has a release date of April 5 on Netflix, and the premiere of "Lady Business" has yet to be announced.
