    Default Captain Marvel (2019 MCU movie)

    Entertainment Weekly posted a cover story on Captain Marvel today. In EW tradition the cover itself is garbage that you might expect from someone who took a 2 hour photography course followed by a 1 hour intro to photoshop course, but the stills from the movie actually look really good.



    Spoiler for spoilers in case you want to avoid plot points, plus the images are huge
    In the movie she has left earth, gained superpowers at some point, and is now part of a Kree special forces unit called Starforce



    In this shot of her team you might notice Ronan the accuser and Korvath (the "Who?!?" guy from Guardians) presumably before they became evil, as Korvath at least is on the team.




    Jude Law plays Mar-Vell, her mentor. Lee Pace reprises his role as Ronan.




    The movie covers the Kree-Skrull war, a major event from the comics. These are the Skrulls, a shapeshifting race adept at infiltrating other civilizations before conquering them. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader, clearly infiltrating Earth in this scene.




    It takes place in the 90s so expect to see plenty of 90s fashion, plus it's got a digitally de-aged Sam Jackson as Nick Fury prior to his promotion to director (and prior to losing an eye).




    Danvers' origin is as an air force pilot. The movie also features another fighter pilot Maria "Photon" Rambeau as a side character, who is clearly meant to be a nod to Monica Rambeau, another character who has donned the Captain Marvel moniker who has also gone by various other names including Photon. Maria is likely meant to be Monica's mother, which since this is set in the 90s could be setting up a future MCU character for phase 4.


    Trailer is likely to come in the next week or so.

    Haha yes in the comics the Kree hero Mar-Vell is the original (marvel comics version of) Captain Marvel. I think they are going to sidestep Mar-Vell being called Captian Marvel in the movie, which is a good idea IMO.

    This is a highly complicated issue that involves both labyrinthine comic book canon as well as real world legal battles, since DC owned the rights to an already established character at the time named Captain Marvel (who also has a movie coming out), but they weren't actively publishing the comic in the 60s, which allowed Marvel Comics to swoop in and steal the name since Copyright law requires intellectual properties and trademarks to be in use to be protected.

    As far as something new? I don't know what I can tell you. I'm not at all suffering from Marvel fatigue because I think their movies have been pretty varied in genre. I mean they range from standard superhero flicks (Iron Man, Dr Strange) heist movies (Ant-Man 1 & 2) to spy thrillers (Winter Soldier) to buddy comedies (Thor Ragnarok) to space operas (Guardians of the Galaxy). I don't know what to expect of this one before seeing the trailer, but if you're bored by the MCU in general I don't know that you should expect anything groundbreaking to get your attention now.

    But if you don't like Marvel movies I don't know whether you can expect anything drastically different from this one.

    My problem is if Nick fury had captain marvel on speed dial how come she missed infinity war? None of the Avengers knew about her and phoned in hey we are in trouble kind of call. 5 year mission w/o cell service or what. If was still in HS I ask my comic geek friend, but seems a bit odd.

    The Avengers don't know about her. Only Fury does. And Fury didn't know anything about Infinity war until Maria Hill turned to dust about 30 seconds before he turned to dust himself.

    I mean he knew aliens were involved in some kind of situation, but that also happened in Avengers and Thor 2 and he didn't call her in those situations either. Until the snap happened, all he knew were aliens were involved in incidents in New York and Scotland but both were seemingly turned away by the Avengers.

    Ok, they look flamboyant, but imo it is way beyond overkill by now.

    I mean, I’m willing to suspend my skepticism, I’m pretty sure judged on it’s own it’ll be a good film. I hope though they don’t try to make a wonderwoman rehash.

    That will become a problem, as far as I know Disney has stated that they won`t extend the license of their MCU-Films for Netflix.

    So I think the trailer makes the movie look good, but as a trailer it's a little dull. Should have used a 90s song like Sabatoge, Hey Man Nice Shot, Head Like a Hole, or More Human than Human instead of just generic orchestral trailer music.

    Usually the first trailer is the "teaser" trailer which doesn't tell you anything about the characters or story, and this one was a little too heavy on Nick Fury (understandable since he's the one most people would know) so I'm hoping the next trailer goes more into the Skrulls and Jude Law's character.

    Very generic Trailer. People are saying it gives off Green lantern Vibes. I can see why they say that.

    Also Bored Larson... quite bland in the character. With bland lines... ( "I’m not who you think I am” line was awful delivered)

    Jenifer Hale in that Avengers cartoons were so much better.

    Still Just a Trailer. But meh.

    Good to see Coulson back though.

    You're missing all the personal drama...but that's on you.

    All the content looks great, in that Marvel sort of way, but the trailer itself is just absurdly boring. What happened to the marketing department of Infinity war and Iron Man 3? It's set in the 90's! Lets hear a "whats going on" remix, bring back the memes ffs, do something.

    I suspect most of the backlash is the suspicion she will become Captain Mar Eezoo, though I think Feige will be aware of making her a Messianic figure.

    Time lags haven't hurt either StarLord or Captain America.
