A new Captain Marvel featurette was just released this morning by Marvel Studios. This one highlighting the Air Force background of character Carol Danvers, and how helpful the US Air Force was during production.
Co-director Anna Boden shares that the Air Force was welcoming, and “amazing”, speaking in particular about Oscar winning actress Brie Larson getting to fly in an F-16 to “discover who Carol Danvers is”.

Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt speaks about the great honor of the men and women of the 57th Wing to share the experience with Larson. We even get some cockpit footage of the flight!
The first “public” screening of Captain Marvel happened in Los Angeles and so far, the reactions are overwhelmingly positive. Everyone loves Goose the cat, everyone loves Ben Mendelsohn, and everyone LOVES Brie Larson as the good Captain. (You can read about the first reactions here.)
Anna Boden (first female director for Marvel Studios, only took 21 films) and Ryan Fleck are directing from a script they wrote with Liz Flahive, Carly Mensch, Meg LeFauve, Nicole Perlman, and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.
Captain Marvel stars Oscar winner Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jude Law as the commander of Starforce (who may or may not have two names), Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, Lee Pace returning as Ronan the Accuser, Djimon Hounsou as Korath the Pursuer, Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva, Ben Mendelsohn as Skull Commander Talos, Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau, Algenis Perez Soto, McKenna Grace, and Annette Bening in as-yet-undisclosed roles.
Captain Marvel is set to hit theaters on March 8th 2019 (International Women’s Day), and tickets are on sale now.
