Marvel continues its saga with the latest instalment Captain Marvel (2019, Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck) . Set in the 90s, and pre-dating the first MCU movie Iron Man (2008, Jon Favreau) , the movie follows a Kree Soldier who falls to Earth and slowly discovers that she used to be human, whilst also dealing with an invasion of shape-shifting aliens called the Skrulls. This movie is the first Solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that features a female lead and acts as the set-up for the character appearing in Avengers: Endgame (2019, Joe & Anthony Russo) . So there are some high expectations for this movie. After Wonder Woman (2017, Patty Jenkins)  proved how successful a female-lead Superhero movie can be, and the fact that it benefits from a highly loved cinematic franchise, hopefully, this movie can live up to those expectations.  First Thoughts Yeah, this a good movie. It's fun to watch and introduces audiences to an interesting new hero. However, compared to ...

The first trailer for Captain Marvel (2019, Anna Boden/Ryan Fleck) has arrived! Marvel's answer to Wonder Woman (2017, Patty Jenkins) . Set 20 years prior to the current MCU films, we follow Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) as she battles against the Skrull, a race of aliens that invade planets by disguising themselves as the indigenous population.  First Thoughts This trailer looks good. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's great. There are a few things that hold it back a bit. But it still has me more interested in the film. It's also worth mentioning that Marvel has changed Captain Marvel's origins. Whilst they've kept the part o her being an airforce pilot given superpowers, they've also added some things. Such as giving her amnesia and making her a Kree soldier. This is probably so separate her from DC's Green Lantern, which she shares some uncanny similarities too. But overall. I do like this trailer. 1. Captain Marvel Lands ...

Yesterday Entertainment Weekly released an exclusive first look at Marvel's latest upcoming film, Captain Marvel (2019, Anna Boen, Ryan Fleck) featuring first looks at Brie Larson (Room, Kong: Skull Island) as the main protagonist, Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes, Young Pope)  as Mar-Vell and the antagonists, the Skrull. This film will also set up Captain Marvel for the 4th Avengers film, which Captain Marvel was teased in the final scene. For this post, I haven't examined all of the stills revealed I've chosen the five that I think are worth talking about the most.

Our first official look at the Captain Marvel costume! And it is a vast improvement from those leaked photos that were released earlier this year. It still looks a little bit like a variation of Captain America's costume, but I'm willing to lo...

Photos have been posted on Twitter of Brie Larson (Room, Kong: Skull Island)  in her costume for the upcoming Marvel film, Captain Marvel (2019, Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck) . This is the first look at the Captain Marvel costume. Larson will be playing the lead character, Carol Danvers, a US Airforce pilot who gains superpowers after having her DNA fused with that of a Kree, the alien race that Ronan (Lee Pierce, Guardians Of The Galaxy)  was from. She's kinda like a mix between Supergirl and Green Lantern . The film is will have the titular character fighting against famous Marvel villains, the Skrull. Shape-shifting aliens who have been at war with the Kree for many years.  First Thoughts Yeah, I don't like this costume. It looks really uncomfortable and doesn't really look like it fits Larson. Whilst it slightly resembles Captain Marvel's costume from the comics, it really looks more like a cheap Captain America rip-off. Green colour Whilst many fans are...
