The first trailer for Captain Marvel has been released – and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here.
Larson’s Captain Marvel, real name Carol Danvers, is a US Air Force pilot who generates superhuman strength and the ability to fly after her DNA is fused with an alien during an accident.
Samuel L. Jackson also returns as Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s leader, while Lee Pace and Djimon Hounsou back as their characters from Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer.
Captain Marvel has been primed to become the new face of the MCU as it heads into its fourth phase, succeeding the likes of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans), as confirmed by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
