Annette Bening debuts as the unnamed Kree who saves Larson's character Carol Danvers, while Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury (now with two eyes).
Set in the 1990s, official synopsis reads: "Based on the Marvel comic character first appearing in 1968, the story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races."
With the screenplay penned by a team consisting of director Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Meg LeFauve, Nicole Perlman, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Liz Flahive, and Carly Mensch, the cast also includes Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, and Jude Law.
Captain Marvel reaches cinemas 8 March 2019. Meanwhile, the trailer for the as-yet-untitled fourth Avengers looks set to debut later this week.
