Marvel Studios has unveiled the first full trailer for the MCU’s upcoming and highly anticipated installment,Captain 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 will be getting the digital de-aging treatment in 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 really great. The opening shot with Blockbuster telegraphs the time period to the audience in a smart and funny way, and the overall tone of this thing looks to be very influenced bySteven Spielberg-ian First Contact stories—except inCaptain Marvel, the alien is also human. Indeed, while we already know that the film begins with the titular character working as part of an intergalactic band of soldiers (described as a Seal Team Six-like group), this trailer reveals that Carol Danvers is lacking most of her human memories. Thus, we can surmise that whileCaptain Marvelisn’t an origin story per se, we’ll learn the character’s origins in flashback form as Carol’s memories come flooding back to her once she crashes back on Earth.
Anna BodenandRyan Fleck(Mississipi Grind) direct from a script byMeg LeFauve(Inside Out),Nicole Perlman(Guardians of the Galaxy),Geneva Robertson-Dworet(Tomb Raider),Liz Flahive&Carly Mensch(GLOW), as well as Boden and Fleck.Captain Marvelis set for a July 12, 2025 release.
