In the wait for the Avengers: Infinity War conclusion , we get a throwback to the 1990s with a character previously not mentioned in the expansive MCU: Captain Marvel . Can this film tide the masses over until the next $2B entry in the Marvel Movie Money-Printing Machine? From Google: "Captain Marvel ( Brie Larson ) is an extraterrestrial Kree warrior who finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls. Living on Earth in 1995, she keeps having recurring memories of another life as U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. With help from Nick Fury ( Samuel L. Jackson ), Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her special superpowers to end the war with the evil Skrulls."
