The Captain Marvel character has gone through several iterations in the pages of Marvel comics, originally appearing in 1967 as a male character named Mar-Vell. In recent years, the most popular version of the character has been Carol Danvers, and that’s the version we will see onscreen next year. Danvers is part human, part alien (thanks to mutation caused by a powerful alien device explosion), and as a result, has cosmic super powers like flight, superhuman strength, energy absorption, toxin resistance, and the ability to shoot energy bolts from her fingertips.
Captain Marvel hits the screen on March 9,2019. It was directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Boden is the first female director of a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.
