It ’s here ! Captain Marvel has finally landed , before straight off blast off again with afantastic lookingfirst dawdler . Aside from looking great , the drone also gives us our first right look at both the cosmic and earthly life of Carol Danvers , and a jot of the threat ’s she ’s going to face . Here ’s what we could find .
The trailer opens with a shot of Carol Danvers ( Brie Larson ) plummeting to Earth from an exploding escape cod . As if you need remind that she ’s a cosmically tough woman , it ’s her that does the plummeting through a roof , not the cod itself , and she seems … let ’s go with mostly fine after the fact ?
The television camera pans down to reveal that Carol has landed organic structure - first into aBlockbuster Videowhich , for the youthfulness among us , is an ancient establishment almost like a physical equivalent of Netflix , where one could go and exchange currencies to charter copy of films and video recording games . Sarcasm by , this is your reminder that Carol is n’t landing on a modern , post - Thanos Earth : Captain Marvel isset in the ‘ 90s .
“ warfare is a cosmopolitan language , ” a immature Nick Fury ( still spiel by Samuel L. Jackson with somede - senesce digital trickery ) tell us , as a beleaguered Carol escapes Blockbuster and psyche to a Los Angeles underpass station . He continue : “ I roll in the hay a apostate soldier when I see one — never occurred to me that one might come from above . ” If the Blockbuster was n’t enough , there ’s your other indication that this is set in Marvel ’s past tense , as a new SHIELD employeeFury is so far unawareof the idea of space alien superpowered people aviate around on his satellite .
You ’ll also notice that Carol is wear adifferently - color versionof her suit in equivalence to what you ’d usually see in the comics ( although as we ’ll see , that version is in the movie too ) . The green colouration is a hint to the mirthful book origins of Carol ’s king — it ’s emblematical of the Kree race , a species we ’ve seen in both Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of SHIELD , and is nearly tied with Carol ’s ascendant in the comics .
Carol and another material body ( presumably Fury ) chequer out a suitably secretive looking installation . greenback Carol’sfetching headwear : this is likely a facility for SHIELD , which has yet to be unwrap as being infested with Hydra agent at this pointedness in the Marvel timeline .
As Fury ’s narration continues , we get a abbreviated first look at one major menace that will be in the movie , as Fury and another SHIELD agent ( who we ’ll get to meet a bit later ) watch a doctor perform an postmortem examination on a Skrull . The Skrulls are a shapeshifting race of alien who have a retentive history with battle the Kree in the comics , but they ’re also known for the infamous “ secluded Invasion ” event , where theyinfiltrated the ranksof Earth ’s mighty heroes using theirdisguising powersto wreak havoc ahead of an invasion .
“ infinite encroachment … ” craze begins , rattling off a listing of events that presumably are sparked by Carol ’s smashing comer on Earth . That would seem to involve that this ship uncloak above Earth is Kree ( maybe even the ship Carol arrived on ? ) , but the dialog could evenly refer to the Skrulls making their arrival on Earth .
“ Big car Salmon P. Chase ! ” as we get , well , a car chase ! This makes it seem like Fury is go after Carol , who is chase after someone else on the train she climb aboard — an unknown Skrull , as we ’ll see later — but we also get our first brief glimpse of Carol ’s powers in action mechanism . In the comic strip , by from the standard superhuman strength and lastingness you ’d expect , Carol ’s power are based around DOE soaking up and photonic blasts she can shoot out of her hands .
rage ponders about how he was almost consider impart SHIELD before Carol showed up , and we last get to see him as he corners Carol , presumably post - chase . Yup ! That face de - aging tech is still very practiced and kind of petrifying !
Now that the two have had their meet cute , they can get into the fact that Carol , well , fell from the sky , a thing female sci - fi heroesare wo nt to do latterly . Which means it ’s time to learn about Captain Marvel ’s new origination — we have a go at it they ’re getting update for this motion-picture show , and we cognize part of that involves her being more to a great extent knotty with the Kree side of her powers …
As we sheer to an alien world call Hala , the home satellite of the Kree . And a Carol on the face of it very content with it being her home , too .
“ I keep having these memories , ” Carol recalls , “ I see flashes ” as we ourselves get a flash of Carol ’s past times as an Air Force pilot film . In the comics , Carol has always had a history with the Air Force , but her pilot background draws heavily from Kelly Sue DeConnick ’s run on Captain Marvel in 2012 , when Carol first took on the mantle after decade as the hero Ms. Marvel . You should read it , because this motion-picture show draw a lot from that portrayal of the character .
We also get to see her buster pilot Maria “ Photon ” Rambeau , played by Lashana Lynch . That ’s a last name ( and codename ) that will have longtime comics fan sing — Mariahas been describedas a single mother in this film , presumably to Monica Rambeau , a fighter in the comics who ’s go by many , many names over the long time , including Photon … and was actually thefirst distaff Captain Marvel , 10 before Carol took on the blanket . give the period setting of the film , this likely means there wo n’t be a Carol / Monica squad up in Captain Marvel , but once we fast forward to the present tense , who knows ?
We get to see even more of Carol ’s military training , cut with a few barb of her childhood , as the twist of her new origins is revealed : Carol ’s arrest ostentation of a spirit she ca n’t retrieve , because she ’s seemingly been mentally conditioned to think she ’s part of Kree society .
But teased moments later , as Carol , in her pilot burner jumpsuit , is knocked back by an obscure aggressor … is her hand glow with cosmic energies . How Caroloriginally got powersinvolved an stroke with a Kree twist called the Psyche - Magnetron , merging the DNA of a Kree warrior call Mar - Vell ( more on him afterward too ! ) with her own . Could there be a standardised chance event that leads to Carol being sent off to Kree for breeding in the movie ?
breeding with a side order of brain - tampering , seemingly , as we smash rationalize to an upside - down Carol being mentally probe back on Hala , as she say us in the narrative that she ’s not sure the memories of a lifespan on Earth she ’s been seeing are real . Given Fury described her as a deserter soldier earlier on in the lagger , maybe Carol flees Hala to try and see out what her allies have been hiding from her .
talk of those allies ! We next get to see Carol flank by two Kree warriors : on the left , Att - Lass ( Algenis Perez Soto ) and Minn - Erva ( Gemma Chan ) . These two are members of a Kree superhero team from the comic strip that Carol will be a part of in the moving-picture show , Starforce . They have a long and weird chronicle in the comics , which you’re able to learn !
Starforce features some other characters in the pic , including Bron - Char ( Rune Temte ) andreturning Guardians of the Galaxy charactersRonan the Accuser ( Lee Pace ) and Korath the Pursuer ( Djimon Hounsou ) , but they ’re top by a very intriguing and mysterious commander we get to see here , played by Jude Law . It ’s beenheavily speculatedsince the consequence Law was cast that his lineament is actually Mar - Vell , theoriginal Captain Marveland whose DNA got mixed with Carol ’s in the comics to give her his superpowers . Law hasdanced aroundthis speculation for now , and the trailer does n’t really give us any more clues , but we know his role is a mentor fig to Carol while she ’s on Hala , helping her accommodate to her exponent .
A very intriguing collage of snap indicate youthful Carol growing up end with a jibe of her in some sorting of advanced flight craft , while in space … but this looks to be when she ’s still a airplane pilot , rather than after . So what if that snap of a decloaking spaceship from earlier — which included some form of Earth trade that could be this one — is not from Carol returning to Earth , but the offset of the showdown that gives her her power ?
The Skrulls are suitably all over this trailer , while at the same time being very arduous to really fleck . This is the adept crack we get of a group of them all , come forth onto a beach . We do n’t live much beyond that , other than that they ’ll be fronted by a Skrull villain named Talos , played byBen Mendelsohn . In the comics , Talos was in reality born without the ability to shapeshift , which he compensated for by … kill lots of people , fundamentally . He earned the nickname “ the Untamed ” and became one of the Skrull ’s most feared warriors .
Speaking of Skrulls , we ’re back on that train Carol leaped on top of in the beginning in the poke . Remember what we said about shapeshifting ? Skrulls can turn into anyone to blend in , so Carol is n’t just recklessly beating up the elderly in an effort to get gamy strung baby boomers to stop complaining about millennian amusement or whatever . She ’s recklessly beating up a Skrull in disguise as an honest-to-goodness lady . Much best . But also probably not a unspoiled tone for what ’s probably her first public grinder appearance .
After a shot of an explosive space battle , we get two shot of some other returning characters : the aforementioned Ronan the Accuser is first , standing on the bridge circuit of a ship overlook earth — presumably that decloaking ship from sooner , confirm it as Kree in origin ?
And then there ’s Fury ’s SHIELD mate … a young Phil Coulson ( Clark Gregg ) . Coulson lives , again ! Well , he was always live at this point in the Marvel timeline , but anyway yes , the Logos of Coul is in Captain Marvel , and also in theearly daysof his SHIELD career .
“ We have no idea what threats are out there … we ca n’t do this alone , ” intone Fury , as he sends a message on his period - appropriate beeper . Which , give or take a few additions and qualifying over the next couple of decades , is presumptively thesame beeperhe taps out a last message for care at theend of Infinity War , bestow Carol back to beat up the brainsick Titan in Avengers 4 .
Carol sound on an subaqueous mission with the rest of the Starforce , give us a very coolheaded expression at an addition to her suit : a battle masquerade design from the comics dearly known as the “ faux hawk ” looking at for Carol by fans . Although it ’s the Kree version of her suit here , there ’s a chance we get to see this in the red - and - gamy version too : Samuel L. Jacksonsneakily gave usa look at a crew t - shirt on social spiritualist latterly , feature the tone .
Meanwhile , back in Carol ’s past , this is by all odds the moment she get her powers . Remember how we mentioned vigour absorption was a matter she can do ?
And here ’s another beautiful stab of Carol ’s masked feeling in natural process — sans holographic ventilation setup this clip .
Not only is this one of the good readiness of cuts in the preview , but the final shot also gives us our first tiny glimpse in the trailer of Carol ’s comics - colouring . But what ’s interesting in that shot is who Carol is squaring off against . They ’re hard to see give the blur , but still :
That ’s basically a contraband version of the Kree armor and Carol ’s suit . And whoever ’s wearing is by all odds not Kree - dingy . It seems like the only soul we could really speculate as to who this is , is Jude Law ’s character . Does he work on Carol when she decide to fight for her real home ?
After Carol tells someone off - photographic camera that she ’s “ not what you think I am , ” with a untried girl hardly pick up in the material body present . Could this be Monica Rambeau , Maria ’s daughter ?
The dawdler ends with this salient money crack : the mighty Captain Marvel , brim with energy as she groom to square off with someone . You ’ve likely seen people referring to this as Carol go “ Binary”—a computer address to one of Carol ’s preceding identities in the comics from a time when she became a super potent cosmic Italian sandwich for a bit . When Carol steep enough energy , she can in brief re - unlock those vast cosmic top executive and kvetch serious ass , which she looks like she ’s about to do in style . And a reminder , Marvel ’s Kevin Feige has stated onnumerous occasionsthat Carol is more powerfulthan any other characterin the MCU .
