Captain Marvel (驚奇隊長) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson. The supporting cast include Gemma Chan, Annette Bening, Ben Mendelsohn, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law. It is the 21st film of the MCU and the first (1st) of three (3) for 2019. The character is based on the Carol Danvers version of Captain Marvel.
On the Kree homeworld of Hala, we see Vers getting trained to kick @$$. Vers is part of a elite team of Kree soldiers sent to stop the infiltration of another alien race, the Skrulls. When they get to a Kree empire border planet that has been infiltrated, Vers is captured by the Skrulls. On the Skrull ship, Vers memories are being looked at as they are trying to mine a "lightspeed" core, currently located on Earth. Vers breaks free and falls to Earth. Once there, Nick Fury, is sent onsite to arrest Vers. But things go south when Skrulls show up and Vers gives chase. Can Vers find out her past and stop the Skrulls with the help of Fury?
Another good addition to the MCU universe. Many revelations can now be assumed from Carol's big back story. As a stand alone without taking the MCU into account, this would have been a well made origin movie. All the actors were top notch. The story itself needed the MCU to make it more than it is. We do find out that she is Carol Davers. Vers is now her Kree name. Take a look at that.
I went with my now teenage daughter and she loved the film. I can see why. Very strong female characters are presented in this movie. I also asked if she like Captain Marvel more than Wonder Women. My daughter enjoyed this movie much more than I and wants to watch it again. I, however, am not clamoring to watch this again. However, as a MCU fan, this is a must watch.
