This is an interesting bit of news, particularly because it was very unclear up until now whether or not Captain Marvel would be telling the story of how Capt. Carol Danvers gained superpowers. There has been a lot of speculation in the last few months on this subject, particularly because of the announcement this summer that Brie Larson would be playing Carol Danvers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many thought it was odd that Larson would be cast before Captain Marvel found a director, and have taken it as a hint that the character would make her live action debut in The Avengers: Infinity War. It's still very possible that will happen -- though if that's the case, it looks like we'll be introduced to a powerless Carol Danvers first.
