Five things you did not know about Captain Marvel

The release of Captain Marvel is in a month and even that seems a bit long. Marvel Cinematic Universe has recently made very good self-contained movies (Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok) and we expect nothing less than Captain Marvel. Oscar winner Brie Larson is starring Nick Fury of Samuel L Jackson, Phil Coulson of Clark Gregg, the mysterious character of Jude Law, and so on.

Here are five things you may not know about Captain Marvel:

Captain Marvel is the first superhero movie directed by a woman from the Marvel film universe. While a female MCU superhero was featured in the title (Evangeline Lily's Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp), she was not the only one. Thus, after more than 20 films, MCU finally gets its first female superhero movie. Anna Boden, who co-directs Captain Marvel with Ryan Fleck, is the first woman director of MCU.

Captain Marvel is the most powerful superhero ever created in the Marvel film universe. Or at least that's what Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios and architect of the MCU, has said publicly. That means she's stronger than Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Vision and Scarlet Witch.

Carol Danvers, who is Captain Marvel's civilian identity, has a range of capabilities that make him the most powerful superhero we've ever seen in the MCU. Even before her DNA was merged with Kree's DNA and she got her super powers, she was an expert pilot for the US Air Force. After becoming a superhero, she became able to fly faster than the sound. It can also handle energy in the sense that it can absorb large amounts of it and can also use it as a weapon by launching it as explosives on its enemies.

Even playing a superhero in a movie or TV show may require superheroic efforts. To be sure of having credible air as an Air Force pilot, Larson trained at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. She also lived on the F-16 supersonic combat aircraft.

Larson also had to watch the role if she was going to play the strongest MCU superhero. His physical training program was intense. This included not only training sessions such as deadlifts and hips, but also training in different fighting styles such as boxing, kickboxing, judo, wrestling and the fight. jiujitsu.

Captain Marvel is released on March 8th.
