Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson has been officially announced as Captain Marvel in the MCU. The ‘Captain Marvel’ film will hit theatres March 8th 2019 and will be Marvel Studios first solo female superhero film (FINALLY!). Brie was rumoured to be the frontrunner for the role and was officially confirmed at the San Diego Comic Con 2016 at Marvel’s Hall H panel, where she joined Kevin Feige and the cast of Doctor Strange, Black Panther, GOTG Vol. 2 and Spider-man: Homecoming. She also made the announcement on twitter in a photo wearing a Marvel Studios cap saying ‘Call me Captain Marvel.’
Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers is one of Marvel’s most popular female superheroes. In the comics, Carol Danvers is an air force pilot, who after an accident is exposed to alien DNA and gains powers. She’s had a variety of abilities, such as super-strength, flight and energy projection, but we do not yet know which powers she will have in the movie version.
Brie has previously starred in Room, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, 21 Jump Street and The Spectacular Now. She is currently at SDCC promoting her upcoming film Kong: Skull Island, which also stars Marvel’s Tom Hiddleston (Loki).
If they follow the pattern of previous Marvel characters, we can expect to see a Captain Marvel cameo in an earlier film or post credits scene, she may make her debut in Avengers: Infinity War. Currently, no director has been announced, but its rumoured that Marvel Studios are looking for a female director.
