Captain Marvel follows Carol Danvers, a former US Air Force fighter pilot, as she turns into one of the galaxy’s mightiest heroes. She joins Starforce, an elite Kree military team, before returning home with new questions about her past and identity. As this happens, Earth is caught in the centre of a galactic conflict between two alien worlds and Carol Danvers is the key to it all.
Can Captain Marvel time travel?
Yes, and this time it isn’t just fans on Reddit touting the information, it’s Nick Fury himself.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Samuel L Jackson let slip some details about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie.
This is Jackson’s ninth outing as Marvel’s Nick Fury, but Captain Marvel will see him as a younger man and fans will be treated to his backstory.
Speaking about Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, specifically, Jackson said: “She’s pretty much the strongest character—in terms of someone with powers are able to do things—in the Marvel universe.

“So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it’s gonna be a dynamite thing.

“At some point, we’ll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she’s capable of.

Captain Marvel’s co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck spoke to Fandango in an exclusive interview about the tone of the film.
Boden said Captain Marvel “has a lot of playfulness in it, and that kind of buddy-cop vibe that Captain Marvel has with the Nick Fury character was really an important touchstone for us.”
Fleck added: “Like the ‘80s and ‘90s buddy-cop movies, like 48 Hrs. or Lethal Weapon.”
Captain Marvel is out in cinemas on March 8, 2019.
