Marvel Studios has unveiled a new trailer for the MCU’s upcoming and highly anticipatedCaptain Marvel. The 1990s-set film serves as Marvel Studios' first prequel, as well as its first superhero movie with a female lead as Oscar-winnerBrie Larsonplays Carol Danvers, a pilot with superhuman powers who gets caught up in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races
Larson is joined bySamuel L. JacksonandClark Greggas S.H.I.E.L.D. members Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, both of whom got the digital de-aging treatment for the 90s-set storyline. Other familiar faces returning here areLee Paceas Ronan andDjimon Hounsouas Korath fromGuardians of the Galaxy. The cast also includesLashana LynchandGemma Chan, along withBen Mendelsohn,Jude Law,Algenis Perez Soto,Rune Temte, andMcKenna Grace.
This trailer is averyeffective galactic hype machine, because while the tame-by-comparisonfirst teaserworked to introduce the world to Larson’s Carol Danvers, this trailer confirms that this is a straight up outer space epic, something closer toStar WarsthanIron Man. Marvel has had a lot of fun out among the stars with theGuardians of the Galaxymovies, but this looks likeCaptain Marvelis less concerned with tunes and more interested in kicking as much Skrull ass as half-humanly possible. That final shot of Larson suiting all the way up in classic blue, red, and gold—plus that mohawk-ed helmet—is the winner here. As someone who is a fan of Marvel’s stranger, more technicolor entries, I’m sold on this to the moon and back.
Plus, who among us doesn’t want to watch Samuel L. Jackson play with Goose the cat?
