Brie Larson is suited up in the first official look at the
Oscar-winning “Room” star as Captain Marvel.

Entertainment Weekly debuted the first, very comics-accurate (see

Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Avengers’ best hope at
stopping Thanos.

Captain Marvel’s debut is highly anticipated given the events of
“Avengers: Infinity War.” After Thanos wiped out half of
humanity, Nick Fury sent an emergency message to Captain Marvel
in the film’s after-credits scene before disappearing himself,
setting her up as a game changer in the battle with Thanos.

But before she joins the remaining Avengers in the “Infinity War”
sequel in May, she’ll make her debut in her own movie in March,
which is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson as Fury
and Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson. The movie’s star-studded
cast also includes Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Annette Bening,
Gemma Chan, and Lee Pace, who’s reprising his “Guardians of the
Galaxy” role of Ronan.

EW released a few more images of the production:

Larson said this about her character to EW: “She can’t help
but be herself … She can be aggressive, and she can have a
temper, and she can be a little invasive and in your face. She’s
also quick to jump to things, which makes her amazing in battle
because she’s the first one out there and doesn’t always wait for
orders. But the [not] waiting for orders is, to some, a character
flaw.”

history and how she’ll play a big role in “Avengers 4.”

“Captain Marvel” comes to theaters March 8, 2019.
