Captain Marvel Captain Marvel General Discussion and Speculation - Part 6

[Spider-Aziz]

I did not expect to receive a trailer or a teaser from her tweet summoning a magazine, I got what I expected instead.
Nice to see her costume colored more like Captain Marvel than the behind the scenes pictures.

From the EW article:

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, and when it begins, Carol already has her powers. She’s left her earthly life behind to join an elite Kree military team called Starforce, led by Jude Law’s enigmatic commander.

But before long, Carol finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. And she’s got a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls — the notorious Marvel baddies made all the more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader Talos, who spearheads a Skrull invasion of Earth.

Speaking of Earth, Captain Marvel takes place in the mid-’90s, long before Steve Rogers was defrosted or Tony Stark built his first suit. That allows the film to introduce younger version of familiar Marvel faces — like Jackson’s Nick Fury, who’s still a two-eyed S.H.I.E.L.D. desk jockey — as well as let Carol carve out her own, unique space in the MCU.

No origin story. Okay, that's surprising.

“This is not a superhero who’s perfect or otherworldly or has some godlike connection,” says Boden, who’s the MCU’s first female director. “But what makes her special is just how human she is. She’s funny, but doesn’t always tell good jokes. And she can be headstrong and reckless and doesn’t always make the perfect decisions for herself. But at her core, she has so much heart and so much humanity — and all of its messiness.”

“She can’t help but be herself,” Larson tells EW. “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.”

Yep. That's her. That's Carol.

How are there co-directors on this? DGA are very strict about co-directing rules.

 

[harlequinade]

Maybe they will tell that origin story in flashbacks?

 

[Jh7058622]

Where are you getting no origin story from?

[Jh7058622]

That putrid green color is still disgusting.

More photos! They look good! Though not sure about the Skrull look.

 

[Abudefduf]

Lashana Lynch is playing Marie Rambeau, I freaking called it.

 

[Flint Marko]

Skrulls looks awesome! And I forgot Jude Law was in this.

I mean 3 of their previous movies have been handled by co-directors, unless there's something I'm missing.

 

[Nardz937]

All these shots are really nice, except for the skrulls, they look quite cheap.

 

[Flint Marko]

Eh, I dig how the Skrulls looks.

They'll probably look better in the actual movie. I'm just glad they're not CGI.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I like Ronan's outfit Looks much closer to his comic book version. Love the costumes. I like how the Skrull look actually. The Photon easter egg is a nice touch. Have to say, I love everything I am seeing here.

 

[David H.]

Skrulls tho

Co-directing credits are usually only given to siblings.

[Kahran Ramsus]

I really like these shots. The Skrulls look exactly how they should look.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh cool, a look at Nick Fury with both eyes intact, and hair.

Why are Skrulls ugly? They look like they belong to a 90s/early 2000s TV series.

 

[harlequinade]

Well...it's set in 90s ;d

 

[Spider-Fan]

Co-directing credits are usually only given to siblings.

You can apply for an exception, which they will grant if you're an established pair. Doesn't have to be siblings.

No. That’s not true at all. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are a pair and they aren’t brothers. I think it’s more that siblings pair up more often than two friends.

 

[Darkraid]

Movie looks real good. Cant wait
