Last week we got a few photos from the set featuring Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers and Jude Law’s Mar-Vell, and now Marvel Studios has officially announced the start of production on its first female-fronted superhero blockbuster Captain Marvel.
The official synopsis reads:
The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Meanwhile, Marvel has also announced the full cast for the movie, which includes the big screen return of Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy’s Lee Pace (Ronan the Accuser) and Djimon Hounsou (Korath the Pursuer).
