Brie Larson's Captain Marvel movie costume on display...

Not only is Captain Marvel a certified global box office smash, but as a huge Marvel Comics fan I think it's also a great way to introduce this strong female superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and remix her origin story to make it less convoluted and more accessible. Set in the 1990s Brie Larson plays 'Vers', a photon-blast wielding warrior serving with an elite alien military strike force. On a mission between the warring Skrull and Kree races she finds herself on Earth trying to piece together her memories of being a U.S. Air Force pilot called 'Carol Danvers' with the help of Samuel L. Jackson's younger S.H.I.E.L.D. agent 'Nick Fury' and her best friend and fellow pilot 'Maria Rambeau' (Lashana Lynch).

Sanja Milkovic Hays was Costume Designer on this origin movie, the first solo female-led Marvel Studios motion picture, and you can also see her costumes in Star Trek: Beyond and the Fast & Furious movies.

Captain Marvel costume worn by Brie Larson

Formerly known as 'Ms. Marvel', 'Binary' and 'Warbird' throughout her long comic book history, this version of Captain Marvel (originally created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan) is based largely on Kelly Sue DeConnick's take on the character from her 2012 series

The red, blue and yellow costume redesign by artist Jamie McKelvie which jettisoned her previous lightning bolt swimsuit and thigh boots look for a more military look which evokes the classic alien Kree military uniforms, complete with finned, or in this case, mohawk helmet and the male Captain Mar-Vell's iconic costume colours.

In the film Carol uses her Kree uniform's camouflage technology to change the colour of her suit, inspired by the clothes worn by 'Monica Rambeau' (Akira Akbar), her own U.S. Air Force t-shirt.

Fans of Brie Larson can also check out her Kong: Skull Island film costume and her Free Fire movie costume on display.

Plus stay tuned for a closer look at her Vers Kree Starforce uniform with its green, silver and black colour scheme on display.

I've already seen the movie twice at the cinema and can't wait to see Captain Marvel soar in Avengers: Endgame this April.

Higher, further, faster, baby!
