Everything You Need To Know About Captain Marvel

Hey hey hey!  Welcome to a new week. Last week was something. A release of both Avengers and Captain Marvel trailer. I don't know about you but  I was psyched. I can't wait to see the movie next year (thank God it's almost January) So today it's going to be about The First Lady of Marvel Universe. I am gonna let you in on everything I know so far about the Captain Marvel movie.  So sit back or stand and read on.


Before I start with the movie, I decided to give a little history and nuggets about the character from the comic book point of view(after all that's what the movie is based on) . Carol Susan Jane Danvers is a fictional superhero published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan, Danvers first appeared as an officer in the United States Air Force and a colleague of the  Kree superhero Mar-Vell in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (March 1968)Danvers later became Ms. Marvel #1 (cover-dated January 1977) after her DNA was fused with Mar-Vell's during an explosion, giving her superhuman powers. Debuting in the Silver Age of comics, the character was featured in a self-titled series in the late 1970s before becoming associated with the superhero teams the Avengers and the X-Men.


The character has also been known as Binary, Warbird and Captain Marvel at various points in her history, she was first Ms Marvel before she inherited the title of Captain Marvel from her predecessors. She has been labeled "Marvel's biggest female hero", and "quite possibly Marvel's mightiest Avenger" ( sorry Hulk and Thor, you both lost that title when you couldn't beat Thanos ) Her abilities(which are much and insanely awesome) as Captain Marvel includes superhuman strength, endurance, stamina, flight, physical durability, a limited precognitive "sixth sense", and a perfectly amalgamated human/Kree physiology that rendered her resistant to most toxins and poisons.  She can also tap into the energy of a "white hole", allowing full control and manipulation of stellar energies, and therefore control over heat,the electromagneticspectrum and gravity. She also can perforem light speed travel and possess the ability to survive in the vacuum of space. She is known to also fly at roughly six times the speed of sound.

That should be enough from the comic book now let's move to the movies.


The strong Captain Marvel  character will be played by Academy Award winner Brie Larson, as she  joins  the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2019’s Captain Marvel. We get to see  her in the title role, as well as in the role of the cosmic hero’s alter ago, Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel is directed by Mississippi Grind filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The film is set in the 1990s and explores the powerful hero’s adventures in the time before Captain America and Iron Man came to prominence. It should be noted that in all the comics, Captain Marvel has been an ally and teammate to The Avengers over the years. Avengers : End game could be the start of that alliance between Captain Marvel and The Avengers.

The latest trailer for  Captain Marvel  debuted December 3, and offers up even more scenes from the movie featuring Larson flying high as the powerful hero. Previously, the first trailer for Captain Marvel was released September 18, and provided the first footage from the film, as well as a preview of its tone and ’90s setting — with the latter firmly established by a shot of Larson’s character crashing into a Blockbuster video store.

Also appearing in the movie are returning characters Korath (Djimon Hounsou) and Ronan (Lee Pace, the guy who lost a dance battle to Star lord) from Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as new characters played by Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, and Clark Gregg returning as SHIELD Agent Phil coulson. Mendelsohn plays the Skrull villain of the film that Captain Marvel battles. The  movie is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson as a younger Nick Fury (when he still had two eyes) as they try to battle and save earth from the shape-changing aliens known as Skrulls.
The fourth Avengers movie unfolds in the wake of Avengers: Infinity War and is confirmed to feature Captain Marvel in a key role. That film will hit theaters a month after Captain Marvel, in April 2019.
Although Fans of the character have noted that Larson’s costume doesn’t appear to have the same red, yellow, and blue color scheme that Captain Marvel often appears in, but the first trailer for the film confirmed that she’ll do variations of the costume in both color schemes.


I for one am glad about the movie, I personally like the idea of the movie been done in the 90's. Honestly I don't know much about her compared to other characters in the Marvel universe,but I know Marvel will find a way to make me love the character(its what they do) . I am expecting to see a very young Tony Stark in the movie or an avenger in his/her youth, maybe a fight between two characters. Who knows ? Any way, am in a state of euphoria for the movie, and can't wait to see it on the big screens, TV screen and my phone screen.

Well that's all I have for you today, hope you had a great read.

Till next time don't fight a war, end one. Even though technically you have to fight to end one.
