In less than a year, Carol Danvers will make her big screen debut as Brie Larson talks on the title role in Captain Marvel, the first female-led superhero movie from Marvel Studios.
Out and about on the press tour for Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios chief and super producer Kevin Feige has been sharing a few words on the Captain Marvel movie, teasing her introduction in a chat with Variety:
“You’re going to get the most powerful superhero we’ve ever introduced and what I think is one of the most unique and inspiring origin stories,” said Feige. “Being able to tap into Carol Danvers story for the very first time — to bring that to the screen and tap into an era of the MCU we’ve never been in the ‘90s. To see a version of Nick Fury who has reached a point in his career where he thought the Cold War’s over and the best days are behind him.”
