Captain Marvel Screenwriter Says Movie is 'Action Comedy'

New Captain Marvel Set Photos and a Short Video

Earlier this week, we got a first look at Brie Larson in the Kree-like green costume for Captain Marvel on an Atlanta, Georgia set. Now, more Captain Marvel set photos and a short video have made their way online. You can check out the photos via the Tweet below and you’ll find the video underneath.

In Captain Marvel, Larson is joined by Samuel L. Jackson as a younger (and two-eyed) Nick Fury with DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It), Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One, Ready Player One), and Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes). The film will be a “period piece” for Marvel Studios and take place in the early 1990s with the Skrulls as the primary villains.

Mississippi Grind‘s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck will direct the Captain Marvel movie, which has a script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet (upcoming Tomb Raider and Gotham City Sirens), Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) & Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy). Kevin Feige will produce the film. Marvel Studios’ Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Jonathan Schwartz serve as executive producers alongside Stan Lee.

In the regular Marvel Comics continuity, Carol Danvers made her first appearance in 1968’s Marvel Super-Heroes #13. A Security Chief in the US air force, Danvers would later be transformed into the superhero Ms. Marvel following an explosion involving Kree technology. More recently, Danvers took on the identity of Captain Marvel after being “promoted” to the moniker of the former Kree superhero.

Captain Marvel is set to hit theaters on March 8, 2019 with Avengers 4 set to follow on May 3, 2019.
