Captain Marvel has finally landed.
Before the Avengers take down Thanos in next year’s “Avengers 4”, movie-goers will get to witness Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 1st solo female film. As the most powerful hero, there’s no doubt Captain Marvel will be an instrumental for the franchise in moving forward.
The first wave of marketing promo has hit the internet courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. Fans can also get the first official look at Brie Larson in costume as Captain Marvel in all her high-flying glory. And dang, does she look good!
In addition to Larson as the titular character, there are the infamous shapeshifting villains called the Skrulls, led by Ben Mendelsohn’s villainous Talos. 2 familiar faces will be on the good guy’s team – Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg will be reprising their roles, this time as the younger versions of Nick Fury and Agent Coulson. Ah, the wonders of de-aging CG.
On the Kree side of things, Lee Pace and Djimon Hounsou are also reprising their “Guardians of the Galaxy” roles of Ronan the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer. Besides the duo, there are a couple of new characters: Kree scientist Dr. Minn-Erva, Carol Danvers’ old friend Maria Rambeau, together with mystery character played by Annette Bening.

“This is not a superhero who’s perfect or otherworldly or has some godlike connection. But what makes her special is just how human she is. She’s funny, but doesn’t always tell good jokes. And she can be headstrong and reckless and doesn’t always make the perfect decisions for herself. But at her core, she has so much heart and so much humanity — and all of its messiness,” Anna Boden on Larson’s character.
“Captain Marvel” will debut on 8th March 2019.
