We now have an awesome look at Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

Fans didn't know what to expect when Brie Larson planned to break the internet with new Captain Marvel news, and our first look at the actress in character (via Entertainment Weekly) is nothing short of – well, marvelous. This is our first standalone superhero movie starring a woman, and the stakes (Thanos notwithstanding) couldn't be higher.

Captain Marvel a.k.a. Carol Danvers is part-human, part-alien, with a tendency to make her own rules when those in place don't fly, Larson told EW. Instead of seeing how her powers originated, the film catches up with Carol already doing the whole superhero thing and facing off with Mar-Vell (Jude Law) and the villainous Starforce, as well as Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) and an army of Skrulls (evil shapeshifters. Cool!).

We know Captain Marvel is immensely powerful since that's who Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson, reprising his role with both eyes for this '90s-set movie) called at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. But how will Captain Marvel set up our eleventh-hour Avenger?

Captain Marvel premieres March 8, 2019.
