Jackson-it’s between him and Goose the Cat), a middle-aged SHIELD agent who is only just learning about the existence of aliens. Together, they search for a scientist who could change the course of the Kree-Skrull war forever. Our hero eventually teams with Nick Fury (a de-aged, movie-stealing Samuel L.

So when Vers crashes onto the Terran homeworld, the frequency of clues to Carol’s past intensifies, making her question everything she thought she knew about her own history and the Kree-Skrull war. For Carol/Vers, it is Annette Bening, representing a clue to Vers’ forgotten past. Made up of the greatest Kree minds, the Supreme Intelligence takes the form of the person you most admire. Instead, she spends her days training with Yon-Rogg, going on missions to stop the shape-shifting terrorists known as the Skrulls, and communing with the Supreme Intelligence, the A.I.
Her only personal connections are her mentor, Starforce commander Yon-Rogg (career charmer Jude Law), and her Kree mercenary team, including Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva and Djimon Hounsou as Korath, who both manage to get in some laughs in spite of being criminally underutilized.įans of the MCU, and especially the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and Agents of SHIELD, will know that the Kree aren’t to be trusted, but amnesiac Earthling Carol-or as she’s known by her Kree brethren, Vers-has no such knowledge. Carol doesn’t remember anything that happened to her before waking up six years prior on Hala, the homeworld of the technologically-advanced Kree. In that way, it’s more like Thor: preferring the comfort of its comedic moments that play on our knowledge of popular and existing MCU culture than in bringing its alien science fiction settings to life.Ĭarol Danvers (played by a restrained, steady Brie Larson) is our protagonist-a former Air Force fighter pilot and current member of the elite Kree military team known as the Starforce. It’s a film experience so thoroughly rooted in ’90s pop culture that it doesn’t truly hit its stride until an abducted Brie Larson has crash-landed on Earth, and we fall into the film’s joyful celebration of the pre-millennium period. Despite starring a pair of hot shot jet pilots, Captain Marvel is more Men in Black than Top Gun.
