The first trailer for the next installment of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is here and fans are going wild. There has been a lot of anticipation for this movie since the post-credit scene in “Avengers: Infinity War” where Nick Fury sent out a message via a pager before dissolving into dust. Before the scene ended, fans got a glimpse of the screen, featuring Captain Marvel’s trademark logo. Clearly, Captain Marvel will play a pivotal role in what’s to come in the next Avengers film.
But Marvel can’t continue the Avengers without providing a backstory of Captain Marvel. The new trailer gives a first look at Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, a.k.a. Carol Danvers, the cosmic space commander and the Avengers’ last hope against Thanos.
The trailer shows an intrigued Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) meeting Carol for the first time — after she’s fallen to earth and crashed into a Blockbuster video store (a nice reminder that the film is set in the ‘90s). Danvers has confusing flashbacks of her life growing up on earth and memories she’s not sure are real. She even tells Fury she doubts her own origin story.
As Marvel promised fans, the film will likely disclose the secret of her past and how it relates to her future as one of Earth’s mightiest heroes. “Captain Marvel” is set to open in theaters in March 2019.
