Marvel Studios have officially began production on the Captain Marvel movie.
The studio announced the news on social media with an official photo from the set of Captain Marvel. Marvel Studios also shared an official synopsis for the movie and it reads as follows:
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. Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The cast for the movie has also been confirmed as well, with the return of some familiar faces and also the introduction of some new ones. Captain Marvel is set to star Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg and Jude Law.
Marvel Studios continues to add more A-listers to it’s roster as it looks like we could be seeing Jude Law join the latest cosmic superhero movie in the continuosly growing Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It has been confirmed that Jude Law will be playing Dr Walter Lawson, aka Captain Mar-Vell, who is a Kree.
Another star who joins Law is Brie Larson who is in the lead role, as well as Ben Mendelsohn who is set to play the villain Half Nelson.
Now if you know your comics, you will already have guessed that Jude Law is set to portray the role of Captain Mar-Vell, who comes from the humanoid race of warriors, the Kree.
A familiar face which is set to return to the big screen Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson which is extremely exciting and it could also mean that we get to see a little bit more back story to the Agent as well.
Although Captain Marvel is set to feature the Skrulls, it still remains unknown whether it shares some sort of connection with the upcoming Avengers 4, but if the two movies are connected then it will be quite exciting to see a few characters show up in present day and especially Agent Coulson.
Marvel’s Captain Marvel is set to be released in cinemas March, 8th 2019.
