Based on the beloved Marvel comic book series, first published in 1967, “Captain Marvel” stars Academy Award winner Brie Larson as Carol Danvers /Captain Marvel,  Samuel L. Jackson  as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, with Annette Bening, Clark Gregg and  Jude Law as Starforce Commander. 

For Brie Larson, being the lead of the first female Super Hero franchise presented an opportunity to put herself in the forefront of breaking new ground in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “It's such an honor to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and be part of this legacy of characters and storytelling that is so incredibly meaningful to people,” says Larson.  “These films are part of what’s shaping our culture, who we are, what morals we value. It’s incredible. I don’t think that I fully understood the scope of what it meant in the cultural zeitgeist until the announcement came out that I was going to be playing Captain Marvel. I’ve slowly started to grasp the vastness and levity of it all.”
