After the tear-jerking ending to Marvel’s Infinity War, which very few of our heroes survived, everyone has been talking about Captain Marvel, who Nick Fury seems to call upon in a post-credits scene right before he turns to dust. Before the Avengers’ (seemingly) final battle, however, we’re going to get to know Captain Marvel, portrayed by Brie Larson, in her own film which is set for release in March 2019.
The first trailer for Captain Marvel just dropped, and boy, are we ready for this movie. (Hell yes to more female-led superhero movies, please and thank you.)
The trailer starts with a bang—literally, as a spaceship crashes to earth sometime in the ‘90s (peep the Blockbuster Video!). From there, we learn that Captain Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers, is dealing with some strange amnesia—she keeps getting memories of a life that seemingly happened before.
It’s not long before she appears to team up with Nick Fury, but it’s unclear how. In fact, the trailer was big on action, but pretty light on details: where is Captain Marvel from? How did she get her powers? Actually, what are her powers?
We also see her punching an old lady in the face, which I’m definitely going to need more context to understand. Guessing it might actually be a skrull?
Despite the remaining mysteries, the film looks totally awesome. It’s Marvel’s first superhero movie that focuses on a woman (I guess they’re hopping aboard the Wonder Woman success train), so I hope people turn out in droves to support it.
