“She opens up a whole new world for him.”
What could be more ’90s than a trip to an internet cafe?
Carol picks up a fuzzy copilot in her travels: an orange stray named Goose.

Ben Mendelsohn is mean and green as the shape-shifting Skrull leader Talos.
Carol can fly, shoot fire out of her fists, and absorb energy.
So in other words, she’s not someone you want to mess with.

Thanos better watch his back.
Even superheroes sometimes have to wait for the train.
Remember what we said earlier about her ability to shoot fire from her fists?

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your conductor.
We are delayed because a woman from outer space has crash landed in one of our cars.”
Captain Marvel’s uniform also includes a state-of-the-art helmet a design ripped straight from the pages of the comics.

On the right, Gemma Chan plays elite sniper Minn-Erva.
But Carol isn’t always wearing Kree colors.
Here she is in her red, gold, and blue ensemble.

Its the thing that gets her in trouble, but its also the thing that makes her great.
And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her.
Where can we get one of those S.H.I.E.L.D.

Asking for a friend.
Carol also gets to go full ’90s grunge with a Nine Inch Nails T-shirt.
Shes got the talent and the skill to make it something thats going to be very special.

“Higher, further, faster, baby.”
The Nick Fury we meet is sort of a bureaucrat in an interesting sort of way, Jackson explains.
He hadnt become jaded or a slave to the cynicism that we normally see.

The Kree mantra is “for the good of the Kree” prioritizing the collective good over individual achievement.
Captain Marvelalso sees the return ofGuardians of the Galaxybaddie Ronan (Lee Pace).
Here we see Ronan looming menacingly over a planet.

Is that Hala or is that Earth?
Carol’s mentor and the commander of Starforce is Yon-Rogg (Jude Law).
He is driven by a belief in the divine leadership of the Kree people, Law says.

So hes almost a devout warrior unquestioning, conservative, but inspirational.
Yon-Rogg and Carol have a close mentor-mentee relationship.
Carol and Yon-Rogg’s friendship doesn’t always sit well with the rest of their teammates.

Like, Why do they have a special relationship, and why isnt it me?
Minn-Erva is one of the most dangerous members of Starforce, thanks to her elite sniper skills.
Starforce’s missions take them to plenty of alien planets in search of their hated enemies, the Skrulls.

Starforce suits up for a mission.
The Kree have been locked in a lengthy war with their nemeses: the shape-shifting Skrulls.
The Skrulls are one of Marvel comics' most iconic villains, and they make their debut inCaptain Marvel.

The Skrulls are led by Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, seen here emerging from the ocean.
Fortunately for Carol, she still has a few allies on Earth like Maria.
Maria and Carol have a long history from their time in the Air Force.

Still, Maria can more than hold her own.
Shes very resilient and very strong.
Marvel was like, Is there anybody that youd wanna do [the movie] with?
©Marvel Studios 2019
And I was like, kindly.
I need to be with my pal.
Dont let me do it alone!

Jude Law and Lee Pace pow-wow with Anna Boden.
Ryan Fleck meets with Brie Larson during shooting.
I was an introvert with asthma before this movie, Larson tells EW.
Chuck Zlotnick/©Marvel Studios 2019
I really thought when they hired me, I am the worst choice for an action movie.
And I didnt know that I had a little Keanu Reeves in me!
Larson prepares to take flight.
Chuck Zlotnick/©Marvel Studios 2019
But what makes her special is just how human she is.
Shes funny, but doesnt always tell good jokes.
And she can be headstrong and reckless and doesnt always make the perfect decisions for herself.
Chuck Zlotnick/©Marvel Studios 2019
But at her core, she has so much heart and so much humanity and all of its messiness.
