Costume changes are all the rage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Superheroes from Captain America and Iron Man to Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man have altered their threads from movie to movie, past some characters -- who've been going on for before the antediluvian days -- sporting multipart looks that drastically evolve. We noticed that Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) sports two agreed substitute versions of her Captain Marvel costume in the first want ad for 2019's Captain Marvel, but some further information might accustom why she does it.
The differences swelling alongside to color, and a little bit roughly design. The two costumes in ask are the green-and-grey, followed by the majestic red-and-blue (largely considered the signature Captain Marvel costume design).
Because we have months until the adjacent MCU movie, we spent showing off too much become old overanalyzing each frame of the Captain Marvel trailer, and tried to come stirring past the continuity of the movie based upon key reveals. And I think the costume is an important indicator of where scenes occur in the movie, and why Brie Larson is wearing definite suits in the trailer, and the promo images.
I'm going to have to dig deep into what we know roughly Captain Marvel, as a result if you don't care to right to use an in-depth analysis of production, bail out now.
This drying started past set photos of Brie Larson in her Captain Marvel fighting appeared online. Carol Danvers (Larson) confronts a man who appears to be homeless, and by the become old she's finished, he is bowing alongside at her feet.
But fans didn't declaration that. They picked stirring upon Carol's green-emphasis suit. Rumors swirled at the become old that the green is practical for filming past upon a living thing set, and that it could be properly colorized in post. To a definite extent that makes sense... only, Carol was nevertheless wearing the green fighting past she popped stirring in the further trailer.
So, the green fighting is share of the movie. But as a result is the red-and-blue -- which next is featured prominently upon the movie's poster. That will be Carol's suit. And there will be a reason. More upon that in a second.
Carol's wearing the green fighting in scenes that we acknowledge will acknowledge area in the to the lead stages of the movie. Marvel President Kevin Feige has said that Captain Marvel will not be a expected heritage story, in that our hero will already have her powers past the movie starts. Carol, we understand, will reach upon Earth upon some mission -- crashing alongside into a Blockbuster Video in the 1990s -- and will come to do that she had a past upon this planet... even even if she has been fighting in the galaxies as share of the Kree warriors for years.
Here's where our theory starts to acknowledge genuine shape. We recently reported that Marvel Comics is going to good lengths to bend Carol's origin. In the indigenous narrative, Carol is swept stirring in the explosion of a Kree device, and the alien force gives her her powers.
The comic makes an important change, that we acknowledge will play a role the movie, and even accustom the costume bend from green to red. In the further Marvel Comics control of Carol Danvers stories, there's nevertheless an explosion. But rather than just giving Carol powers, the Kree blast awakens genes that already were inside of her, otherwise of randomizing the capacity trigger. Carol was born to be a Kree fighter... because her mother was a Kree, as well.
What?!
It's an interesting twist, having Carol be the child of a human and a Kree. It gives her a grip to both worlds (and yes, this draws a little from the Superman narrative, who had both alien parents and human parents, giving him allegiance and allegiance to two worlds). And it goes a long showing off to explaining the casting of Annette Bening in Captain Marvel. Because most reports tell that Bening will be playing Carol's mother in the movie.
And that means she's playing an alien Kree, and next the first Captain Marvel.
We're sufficiently in speculation mode here. We have no clue what's going to play a role out in Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's Captain Marvel movie. But the costume changes gave us a theory, and it goes something past this.
Carol Danvers is a veteran Kree warrior who arrives upon Earth to track a Skrull (likely the grandmother that she punches upon the train). She lands in Los Angeles, completes the mission (by punching the Skrull grandma), but is apprehended by a teenage Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and his Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He tells Carol that she's share of a bigger world, even if next learning from her that there's a sum up galaxy of threats he might one morning have to contend with. Fury begins to plot The Avengers Initiative.
Meanwhile, Carol can't shake the lingering feeling that she had a past upon Earth. We see, in the trailer, shots of teenage Carol overcoming obstacles as she grew up, and entering the military where she trained to be an ace pilot.
One important person missing from the want ad is Annette Bening's character, but after the news of Marvel Comics tweaking Carol's heritage to more directly assume her mother, it hit us. Bening will play a role the indigenous Captain Marvel. The red-and-blue number will be her indigenous outfit. And at some lessening in the movie, Carol will switch beyond to it to praise her legacy as the daughter of Captain Marvel.
Goosebumps.
Captain Marvel will be an important movie for Marvel Studios for numerous reasons. By most accounts, Carol Danvers will be the strongest fighter in the MCU, and her might is exactly what the Avengers will compulsion to rectify what Thanos started in Avengers: Infinity War. There's a reason Fury texted her as he faded into dust during the Snappening.
But Captain Marvel next stands as the first solo Marvel description centered agreed going on for a female character, past all due respect to the mighty female characters that Marvel Studios has introduced to this point. Having Carol stem from her mother, and wear her costume in praise to that legacy, creates a agreed powerful subtext to the costume bend that we see happen in Captain Marvel. Imagine the scene where Annette Bening passes the torch to Brie Larson by giving her the indigenous costume?
Or, you know, it could just be a reason to sell more toys past alternate Captain Marvel costume designs.
But I don't think that is the case. I acknowledge that Annette Bening is playing the indigenous Captain Marvel in the MCU. And I acknowledge that she'll pass her legacy upon to Brie Larson, signified by the costume bend from green to red and blue. It makes the costume bend more significant, and showing off more emotional.
Do you agree? Disagree? We have several more months to debate it, as Captain Marvel doesn't right to use in theaters until March 8, 2019. Be definite to bookmark our Upcoming Marvel Movies guide, and subsequently jump into the clarification to continue this discussion.
