Disney+ addedCaptain Marvelto their ever-expanding library during its officially launch in November. But with no new MCU movies coming until the summer, and most people too consumed withThe Mandalorianupon the apps initial launch, we thought this rather dry weekend at the box office would be the perfect time to get reaquainted with Carol Danvers.
It’s been nearly a year since the world was introduced to Brie Larson’s take on Carol Danvers. Perhaps you’ve been waiting to see the movie, so right now is as good as any to jump in, with a story that helped set the tone forAvengers: Endgame.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige originally hailedCarol Danversas the strongest Marvel Cinematic Universe character to be introduced thus far. While he has since gone back and given that title toWanda Maximoff,Captain Marvelcan still pack a powerful punch and fans are looking forward to seeing where she goes next. In her own movie, we get an unorthodox origin story that really connected with audiences from all over the world. This was not a traditional origin story, as we were learning it all with Danvers as she learned it herself.
For Marvel Studios,Captain Marvelwas another $1 billion+ hit that helped set the table forAvengers: Endgame. Additionally, it saw the studio practically perfect the de-aging technology that so many have since failed at, including Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese forThe Irishman. Samuel L. Jackson looks completely normal as the movie goes back to Nick Fury in the early 1990s. While checking outCaptain Marvelwas an experience on the big screen, all of the special effects translate really well to the small screen too, which isanother reason why the movie is worth checking out this weekend.
Captain Marvelcame through during the final battle inAvengers: Endgameand took out Thanos' Black Order with one single human missile, which then set the stage for the rest of the heroes to concentrate on the Mad Titan. With all of her power, there’s a lot of waysCaptain Marvel 2can go, so it will be interesting to see where she ends up in the galaxy when Marvel Studios starts production. Brie Larson is already starting to prepare for the sequel, though a production start date has yet to be officially announced.
