Marvel-ous

Carol Danvers, a former Air Force pilot, will be the star of next year’s film, Captain Marvel.

Debuting last night at halftime of ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast between the Redskins and Eagles, Marvel Studios released another trailer for their upcoming March 2019 release of Captain Marvel. Featuring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, a former Air Force pilot, and Samuel L. Jackson as a young Nick Fury, head of SHIELD, the next adventure takes us to the 1990s. Little is truly known about the plot of the film other than it follows the young pilot, Danvers, and how she transforms into the overpowering and awesome heroine, Captain Marvel. She fights among a battle between the Skrulls (green, shapeshifting creatures that will appear for the first time in the MCU) and the Kree (introduced in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy) in a long war that she remarks in the trailer “[she] will end”. Going forward for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, little is known about the overall fate of Captain Marvel and her role in the overall setup following the devastation of Avengers: Infinity War. After the awful and mighty Thanos wiped away half of the universe by use of the six Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, many heroes were lost and hope remained shallow. However, in a post-credits scene, a seasoned Nick Fury sends out some form of a distress signal on a pager, while being wiped away, that teased at the heroic Captain Marvel returning to help save the world once again. A trailer for the next Avengers installment is teased for potentially Wednesday morning on Good Morning America, but for now, here is Marvel’s next look at 2019’s Captain Marvel.
