With the overwhelming success of DC’s WONDER WOMAN movie, it was only a matter of time before Marvel Studios got their own solo female superhero on the big screen in a big way, and that way is with Brie Larson playing the title role in CAPTAIN MARVEL. For those unfamiliar, or perhaps those wondering why they didn’t just opt for a Black Widow movie… well, that is supposedly coming, but Captain Marvel is mega-powerful, and after the events of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, the Marvel heroes are going to need someone strong enough to hold their own against Thanos. But what’s most interesting about this film is it’s a prequel, set years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe we’re all familiar with… in the 1990s to be exact. They’re setting up the character and her abilities, so that when she’s brought back in the next AVENGERS movie, we’ll all be familiar with what she can do. Aside from Larson, CAPTAIN MARVEL stars Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Gemma Chan, Lee Pace, Djimon Hounsou, Jude Law, Mckenna Grace, Ben Mendelsohn, and Annette Bening. Check out the newest “Special Look” trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, and when it begins, Carol already has her powers. She’s left her earthly life behind to join an elite Kree military team called Starforce, led by Jude Law’s enigmatic commander. But before long, Carol finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. And she’s got a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls — the notorious Marvel baddies made all the more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader Talos, who spearheads a Skrull invasion of Earth.
