Marvel Studios finally releasedthe firstCaptain Marveltrailerthis morning, and given the anticipation surrounding the film, there’sa lotto unpack. As such, we’ve gone through and pulled out a number of screengrabs from the trailer so we can take a closer look at what’s in store for audiences when the MCU film hits theaters next year.
Oscar-winningRoomactressBrie Larsonplays the titular superhero in a story set in the 1990s. Larson’s Carol Danvers is a human pilot whose DNA has been fused with that of the Kree alien race, thereby granting her superpowers. She finds herself caught between the galactic war of the Kree and Skrulls, all the while a villainous Kree played byBen Mendelsohnhas disguised himself as a S.H.I.E.L.D. cohort. Speaking of which,Samuel L. JacksonandClark Greggreprise their roles as Nick Fury and Agent Coulson, respectively, andCaptain Marvelwill serve as an origin story of sorts as it reveals their first introduction to world beyond our own. Jackson and Gregg have been digitally de-aged for the entirety of the film.
These images show off a lot of that 90s flavor, but also showcase the titular character’s immense power. We only get brief shots of Mendelsohn andJude Law, but rest easy—there’s plenty more where this comes from. For now, it’s great to see a younger Fury and Coulson.
Other familiar faces returning here includeGuardians of the Galaxy’sLee Paceas Ronan andDjimon Hounsouas Korath, withLashana Lynch,Gemma Chan,Jude Law,Algenis Perez Soto,Rune Temte, andMcKenna Gracerounding out the ensemble.
