With that symbol showing up at the end of Avengers: Infinity War in the after credit scene, attention is turning to Marvel Studios' 2019 lineup. Next year will kick off with Captain Marvel, a movie that marks the debut of Brie Larson as Air Force pilot-turned cosmic superhero Carol Danvers and has a release date of March 6, 2019. Marvel has kept this new project pretty tightly under wraps, with no official images or footage released yet.
But even so, we do have a fairly good sense of what to expect from the Captain Marvel movie at this point. Here's everything we know so far about the cast, story and how this movie fits into the larger MCU.
Early Development
We know that development has been underway on a Captain Marvel movie since at least 2013, with Marvel Studios recognizing the growing need to add a female-driven superhero film to the MCU. At the time, Carol Danvers was named as one of several potential candidates alongside Black Widow and Agent Carter (who later starred in an ABC TV series). The Captain Marvel movie was officially announced in October 2014, as Marvel boss Kevin Feige revealed the studio's Phase 3 lineup of films.
Captain Marvel was originally scheduled for release on July 6, 2018, a date now claimed by Ant-Man and the Wasp. The film was pushed back first to November 2, 2018 and then to March 8, 2019.
Feige revealed at SDCC 2016 that Marvel Studios had narrowed down its list of potential directors, which included Niki Caro, Lesli Linka Glatter and Lorene Scafaria. However, the official announcement didn't arrive for nearly a year, as Mississippi Grind's Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck were officially announced as directors in April 2017. Guardians of the Galaxy co-screenwriter Nicole Perlman and Inside Out co-screenwriter Meg LeFauveere were on scripting duties.
Marvel hired Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Tomb Raider) to pen a new draft of the screenplay in August 2017. She described it as "more of an action-comedy."
The Cast
Brie Larson will star as Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot who gains superhuman powers after her DNA is fused with that of an alien Kree warrior. Marvel has yet to reveal any official photos of Larson in character, though a set photo shows her wearing a green version of the traditional Captain Marvel outfit (likely meant to be a Kree training uniform).
Larson will be joined by Jude Law as Mar-Vell (the alien warrior in question and Carol's mentor), Gemma Chan as Kree geneticist Minn-Erva and Ben Mendelsohn as an unknown villain character (speculated to be Kree military commander Yon-Rogg). Other actors whose roles have yet to be revealed include Lashana Lynch, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte and Mckenna Grace.
The film will also feature several returning characters from past MCU films. Samuel L. Jackson will return as S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, accompanied by Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson and Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill. Lee Pace's Ronan the Accuser and Djimon Hounsou's mercenary Korath will also return.
