Comicbook.com reports Brie Larson will bring Carol Danvers to life in the first female-led Marvel movie!
And it's fitting that Captain Marvel's story takes place in the ?90s, a time when the MCU was light on heroines and superheros in general.
It?s giving Carol a place in the cinematic universe that she can carve out for her own, where she wasn?t one superheroine out of many.
Jonathan Schwartz, producer
This also allowed the filmmakers to use classic films of the era as inspiration.
90s action movie is not the worst reference in the world, especially when you start looking at Robocop, Total Recall, even Starship Troopers a little bit. Terminator 2, Independence Day.
Schwartz
Bands like Nine Inch Nails and Guns N? Roses are referenced as well.
'Captain Marvel' opens March 8, 2019.
