1 moment in the new 'Captain Marvel' trailer really has people confused

Marvel just released the long-awaited trailer for its upcoming Captain Marvel movie, which introduces Brie Larson into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And one particular detail in the trailer is getting a lot of attention.

The scene where Larson's character, Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel), punches an innocent-looking old lady right in the face has got people scratching their heads.

Because Captain Marvel is one of the good guys, right?

People were really confused by what they were seeing.

There is, of course, an explanation for why a Marvel hero would punch an old lady – though it contains a small spoiler, so get off the ride here if you prefer to keep your Captain Marvel experience completely unspoiled.

The explanation is this: one of the villains in the movie could well be a shape-shifting being known as a "Skrull". This would mean the innocent old lady in that clip isn't really as innocent as she seems.
