How will the MCU recover from the devastating events ofAvengers: Infinity War?Captain Marvelmight lend a hand. The character’s arrival was teased in anInfinity Warpost-credit scene, and now she takes center stage in her own movie.Captain Marvelis technically a prequel, set in the mid-1990s, but don’t be surprised if it sets up some storylines forAvengers 4as well.
Brie Larson stars as Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, a member of Starforce, an elite Kree military team. While this is the character’s first big screen appearance,Captain Marvelisn’t an origin story. Instead, Carol will already have her powers when the film starts, and she’s already left earth behind to join Starforce.
“She can’t help but be herself,” Larson toldEW. “She can be aggressive, and she can have a temper, and she can be a little invasive and in your face. She’s also quick to jump to things, which makes her amazing in battle because she’s the first one out there and doesn’t always wait for orders. But the [not] waiting for orders is, to some, a character flaw.”
Anna Boden, who co-directed the film withRyan Fleck, added: “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.”
In addition to Larson,Captain MarvelfeaturesSamuel L. Jackson, playing a much younger, pre-eyepatch Nick Fury;Jude Lawas the commander of Starforce;Ben Mendelsohnas the shape-shifting leader of the Skrulls;Djimon Hounsou, reprising hisGuardians of the Galaxyrole Korath;Lee Pace, back again as Ronan the Accuser; and of course,Clark Gregg, bringing Phil Coulson back to the big screen. Other cast members includeLashana Lynch,Gemma Chan,Algenis Perez Soto,Rune Temte, andMckenna Grace.
