Entertainment Weekly has delivered our first, real look at Brie Larson playing the much anticipated Captain #Marvel. In the issue, Larson briefly describes her character:
“She can’t help but be herself. She can be aggressive, and she can have a temper, and she can be a little invasive and in your face. She’s also quick to jump to things, which makes her amazing in battle because she’s the first one out there and doesn’t always wait for orders. But the [not] waiting for orders is, to some, a character flaw.”
The story synopsis has also grown to include some tasty tidbits of new info:
The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Set in the 1990s, ‘Captain Marvel’ is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Captain Marvel sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, and when it begins, Carol already has her powers. She’s left her earthly life behind to join an elite Kree military team called Starforce, led by Jude Law’s enigmatic commander.But 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.
Captain Marvel will be joined by Samuel L. Jackson‘s Nick Fury, Oklahoma’s own Lee Pace as the Kree villain Ronan the Accuser and Djimon Hounsou as his henchman Korath the Pursuer from Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie also brings back Clark Gregg to the big screen! Other new cast members include Algenis Perez Soto (Sugar), Rune Temte (Eddie the Eagle), and McKenna Grace (I, Tonya).
Captain Marvel is set to be released on March 8th, 2019.
