Sep 18, 2018 Marvel By Christopher Roberts

Marvel has been leading in terms of theatrical films when compared to the films of rival DC Comics, whose recent movies haven’t always been as well received as the Marvel ones. Still, DC beat Marvel to releasing the first modern superhero film to be headlined by a female character with 2017’s Wonder Woman, which was both critically acclaimed and a major box office hit. But on March 8, 2019 it is Marvel’s turn, with the release of Captain Marvel, which stars Oscar winning actress Brie Larson (Room, Kong: Skull Island) as the title character (aka Carol Danvers). Now the first trailer for the film has been shared. Watch it below.

Directing team Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson, Mississippi Grind) co-wrote and directed Captain Marvel. The film takes place in the 1990s (hence Captain Marvel crashing into a Blockbuster Video in the opening of the trailer) and features Samuel L. Jackson playing a younger version of his Nick Fury character, with Clark Gregg also playing a younger version of his Phil Coulson character (as currently seen on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.LD. TV show), both via de-aging special effects. The cast also includes Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Gemma Chan, Jude Law, Annette Benning, and others.
