New ‘Captain Marvel’ trailer reveals more footage, ties to the future SHIELD
The most recent Captain Marvel trailer was packed full of new footage, but didn’t really give fans much in the way plot details other than an origin story, setting up the most powerful hero this side of Thor.
Check out the footage below.
One key element in the footage is the sequence where Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) fly a white quinjet out of what appears to be a SHIELD base of some kind. In fact, one shot of the quinjet has a Project PEGASUS logo on the wing. This is the project that saw SHIELD researching the mysterious item known as the Tesseract, which was uncovered by Howard Stark some years after Captain America crash landed with it in the sea in Captain America: The First Avenger.
The movie will begin with Carol fully in command of her powers, having “left her earthly life behind to join an elite Kree military team called Starforce, led by Jude Law’s enigmatic commander” named Mar-Vell.
Marvel plot details confirms that “before long, Carol finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. And she’s got a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls — the notorious Marvel baddies made all the more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader Talos, who spearheads a Skrull invasion of Earth.”
Jackson and Clark Gregg’s Phil Coulson get a digital de-aging for the new film. Other familiar faces returning here are Lee Pace as Ronan and Djimon Hounsou as Korath from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck with Gemma Chan playing a sniper named Minn-Erva. Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, and McKenna Grace also star. Lashana Lynch stars as Maria Rambeau, one of Carol’s oldest friends who’s an ace Air Force pilot with the call sign “Photon,” and a single mother to a young daughter. Fans will recognize a tie in to Marvel Comics’ Monica Rambeau.
Captain Marvel is set for a March 8, 2019 release.
