Intro
If you are like me, you are probably still ‘marveling’ (pun intended) over the trailer that dropped yesterday for Marvel Studio’s forthcoming Captain Marvel starring Brie Larson.
Here is the trailer again just because … awesome:
As a reminder, we got a hint of her existence in the MCU in the post-credits sequence title in Avengers: Infinity War. This was an ‘appearance’ which took me two viewings and a conversation with my comic book-aficionado younger brother before I ‘kind of” got it.
What bits of information my brother did divulge still did not wholly prepare me for what was to come yesterday. Based on the trailer, it really looks like the MCU is teeing us up for a full-fledged, proper origin story. But the question still lingers … who is she?
So without giving away too much, I did a little digging around (i.e. talked to my brother) and put together this primer for what I think we should know ahead of the release of Marvel’s first female-headlining cinematic outing in the 10 years of the Studio’s existence.
