Captain Marvel: What we know about Carol Danvers, Starforce, release date, casting and more

Be hypnotized as it could * actually * break the Internet: Captain Marvel's first trailer will arrive at any time on Good Morning America as star Brie Larson enters the show. Stay tuned!

Who is the captain now? If you watched the post-credits scene in Avengers: Infinity Waryou know it's Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) And after the cover of EW reveals and our first look at Captain Marvel This morning, we know that * a lot of information is waiting for us – head over to the plot below to find out more about these details, and head over to our sister site GameSpot to find out how Carol Danvers will save us all.

In this scene, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) find themselves in the middle of the chaos caused by Thanos as half of the universe's population disappears. Fury manages to use his pager and apparently sends a message to Captain Marvel while he also disappears into the dust. As her film arrives before the upcoming Avengers movies, it seems that she has an important role to play Avengers 4, maybe save the universe of a invasion of Skrulls.

And when Infinity War was released digitally in August, a savvy Reddit user remarked that one of Thanos' children, Cull Obsidian, wore a piece of cloth with the colors and design of Captain Marvel. What that means is still uncertain, but it adds even more anticipation to the mix.

Captain Marvel? Not exactly the most famous superhero of all time. But his film will be the 21st in the cinematic universe of Marvel, and if she wants to get that kind of attention after the credits, the fans had the best chance of seeing her story again before the release of her movie.

Now that the filming officially ended, stay tuned for even more updates and (* fingers crossed *) some pictures coming soon!

Who is Captain Marvel?

You can dive into his background and history with this explanator. A short version: This version of the character, Carol Danvers, was created in 1968 and was an Air Force pilot, CIA agent, NASA security director and writer. She also fought against alcohol, such as Iron Man Tony Stark, and his personal fights have been featured in many comic book numbers.

His superpowers came from an extraterrestrial Kree named Mar-Vell, the first Captain Marvel, and included theft, strength, the ability to absorb and use energy and to shoot thunderbolts and energy lasers.

Many characters have taken the name of Captain Marvel, and even DC Comics has had a character (unbound) Captain Marvel (aka Shazam), although to this day the Marvel universe does not have any "Captain DC ".

Release date, parcel, photos

Captain Marvel is scheduled to release on March 8, 2019 in the United States and the United Kingdom (no date in Australia yet), about two months before Avengers 4 shots. And after today's EW cover reveals, we have a lot more information about the bad guys (Skrulls) and the heroes (in a way).

For example, thanks to EW, we know a little more about the beginnings of the film and what we will see: "Captain Marvel avoids the original model and history, and when it starts, Carol already has his powers" , writes Devan Coogan.

And Larson gave us more about the extremely human character when talking with EW: "She can be aggressive and she can have a temperament and she can be a bit overwhelming and on your face." She's also quick to jump to things, which she is incredible in combat because she is the first to go out and do not always wait for orders, but waiting (not) for orders is, for some, a character flaw. "

We also learned that when he begins with his powers, we will see Danvers as part of the elite Kree Starforce military team, led by Jude Law's (yet) enigmatic commander, and his main opponent will be the Skrulls. , with Ben Mendelsohn as their leader Talos, who leads an invasion of the Earth by Skrull.

So, will this invasion of Skrull be the beginning of the MCU version of the comic crossing event Secret Invasion? There is no question of knowing for the moment, but this is clearly mentioned in the EW report:

"Shortly after, Carol finds herself on Earth with new questions about her past, and she has a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls – Marvel's bad villains are all the more dangerous by their ability to change form."

The film does not focus only on Captain Marvel who discovers the slaughter of half of the universe of Thanos (see: Avengers: Infinity War) and jumping to help. This happens in the 1990s, which may explain why Nick Fury touches her on a pager, not a smartphone. (About the 1990s, star Brie Larson was born in this decade – October 1, 1989 – which makes some of us as old as an unopened bottle of Zima.)

Why the 1990s? Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said everything would be revealed in the story, but also told the Toronto Sun that the period would be cool. "It allows us to play in a field where we have never played before, and tapping into some kind of 90s action was fun for us," Feige said.

So, what's going on in the movie? Marvel says it's about Carol Danvers assuming the role of Captain Marvel to protect the Earth from a galactic war between the Kree and Skrulls, two alien races familiar to comic readers. (The comic version of this war took place in 1971 and 1972, if you want to check your archived Avengers issues for potential spoilers.)

Who are the fighters? The Skrulls are a race of foreigners who change their form and who can not only take the form, but also the memories and powers of those they imitate. The Kree are a scientifically and technologically advanced militarist race, some of whom have blue skin. Getting in the way of one of them is as smart as pulling on Superman 's cloak – oops, bad comic company.

As far as Captain Marvel herself is concerned, you may be familiar with star Larson who won her Oscar as a victim of forced abduction to bring up her son in captivity in the 2015 hall. She also played in 2017 Kong: the island of the skull.

In the film, there are familiar faces for Marvel fans and some new ones.

• Samuel L. Jackson will play a young (pre-eye) Nick Fury (as you saw above).
• Clark Gregg is back as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson, who died in the modern chronology of the film Marvel, but alive in the film of the 90s.
• Lee Pace returns as Ronan, the accuser, a fanatical member of the alien race Kree seen for the last time in Guardians of the Galaxy. (In August 2018, Pace posted what seems to be a holiday video where he wears a Captain Marvel hat and wears a cute and scruffy holiday beard.

• Djimon Hounsou returns as Korath, an ally Kree of Ronan and fears the intergalactic hunter, who also appears in Guardians of the Galaxy.
• Gemma Chan plays Captain Minnerva, a Kree geneticist. (Some sources are called Minn-Erva or Doctor Minerva.)

• Jude Law plays the role of Walter Lawson / Mar-Vell, Carol's mentor, as she assumes her superpower role.
• Ben Mendelsohn plays the main villain of the film, who would be the leader of the Skrulls.
• Annette Bening signed up for what will be the first comedy film nominated four times at the Oscars. She would have played a scientist and Variety reports that the scientist will probably be Carol's mother.

An allusion to the look of the film may have been revealed in August 2018, when items showing Larson as Danvers began to appear. His bob of the 1990s is particularly impertinent.
