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).

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.

worn by Brie Larson in Captain Marvel
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!
