In the world of superheroes, some characters truly stand out. Back in early September, Brie Larson, the actress behind Captain Marvel, made waves by teasing her character's first official costume reveal on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. While it didn't quite "break the internet" as promised, the first trailer for the movie has certainly set the stage for something extraordinary. This isn't just another Marvel flick—it's a game-changer that ushers in a whole new era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Captain Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers, is set to debut in her self-titled film in March 2019. The movie takes us back to the '90s, where we'll meet a younger Nick Fury, played by the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. But here's the kicker: after her solo film, Captain Marvel jumps to the present day to join the fight in Avengers 4, going toe-to-toe with none other than Thanos—the same guy who wiped out half the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. Let that sink in for a second. This isn’t just any superhero. We're talking about someone who can go up against the guy who gave the Hulk a serious beatdown. And let me tell you, Captain Marvel is strong. Not just strong, but superhuman strong. We're talking Superman-levels of power.

Brie Larson described the character's strength in an interview with Britain’s Express, saying, "She’s so strong." But how strong exactly? Well, according to Brie, "She can move planets. Yes, entire planets." Can you imagine? In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she adds, "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 into things, which makes her amazing in battle because she’s the first one out there and doesn’t always wait for orders. But not waiting for orders might be seen as a character flaw by some." Sounds like Carol Danvers isn’t just about brute force—she’s got personality too!
From Fighter Pilot to Intergalactic Hero
This movie isn’t just about the action—it’s also an origin story. We’ll see Carol Danvers transform from an Air Force pilot into a powerhouse when her DNA fuses with the alien Kree race. The assumption is that her journey in this film will set the stage for her return in Avengers 4, where she'll face off against Thanos. The stakes are high, and fans are buzzing about what this means for the future of the MCU.

What Makes Captain Marvel So Special?
Carol Danvers has been a staple in the Marvel comics for decades, but it was writer Kelly Sue DeConnick who really defined her character in 2012. In an interview with LootCrate.com, DeConnick shared her approach: "I needed to make her cool. I needed to make her somebody you cheer for, so my approach was Carol Danvers as Chuck Yeager. There's a certain glimmer in a fighter pilot's eyes, and there's no reason that should be different for a female character. So I wanted to give her swagger, and I think we managed to accomplish that. What I love about her is she’s headstrong and cocky, and she’s frequently wrong. That’s the thing about Carol: she can be wrong and learn from it and get back up. I find that more resonant than the Carol who always makes the right decision."
Margaret Stohl, a novelist turned Captain Marvel comics writer, added, "What makes a character strong isn’t necessarily physical power. I’m interested in this idea of who gets to be the hero. Carol was literally a side character. She was there to be a pretty girl. She has a very messy hero’s journey, but then that’s also the journey of women in comics. As any woman will tell you, there’s almost a biological response to seeing something like Rey in Star Wars wielding a lightsaber or Wonder Woman doing Matrix-style bullet-dodging. We don’t get those experiences very often."
