Meet 'Captain Marvel' in First Official Photos From Brie Larson's Movie
"Captain Marvel" is coming to save the day! Hopefully Carol Danvers can save everyone snapped by Thanos while she's at it.
Last night, Brie Larson teased a "break the Internet" announcement coming today at noon, via Entertainment Weekly:
Sure enough, EW posted its new Captain Marvel-themed cover on Wednesday, featuring our first official look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe film's main character (beyond those early set photos).
Here are a few new photos, including the first shot of Jude Law, who "plays the commander of Starforce, who views Carol as a mentee and pet project."
"These extraordinary powers she has, he sees them as something of a blessing and something that she has to learn how to control,” Law told EW. "That’s a motif throughout the piece, the element of learning to control one’s emotions and to use your powers wisely."

Will a trailer also follow soon?
Please, Marvel?
If so, this is on track with the speculation that the first "Captain Marvel" footage would come out in September, followed by some kind of "Avengers 4" teaser possibly in November.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige had said we'd get the official title of "Avengers 4" after the first teaser for "Captain Marvel," so the wheels are in motion now.
"Captain Marvel," which is set in the 1990s, finished filming in July. It will feature a de-aged Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
"Avengers: Infinity War" ended with Nick Fury making a call right before he was snapped. The person he was calling was Captain Marvel.
So we're hoping she has the answer to ending Thanos.
"Captain Marvel" is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Boden told EW what makes Carol Danvers so special:
"This is not a superhero who’s perfect or otherworldly or has some godlike connection. But what makes her special is just how human she is. She’s funny, but doesn’t always tell good jokes. And she can be headstrong and reckless and doesn’t always make the perfect decisions for herself. But at her core, she has so much heart and so much humanity — and all of its messiness."
"Captain Marvel" opens in theaters March 8, 2019. Check out EW.com for more exclusives from this new issue.
So far, with the first reveal just being a "Captain Marvel" cover and photos, there's nothing "break the Internet" worthy. But you know what should've broken the Internet? This Badass Brie team-up of Alison Brie and Brie Larson:
