As I’m writing this, I am on my 15th view of the Captain Marvel trailer. If you’re wondering does it look good? In a word YES!

For a Captain Marvel fan, it’s chock full of TWENTY HOLY SH*T moments and little Easter eggs.

It all begins Carol falling from sky crashing behind a Blockbuster just to set that 90’s tone. Then the voice of Nick Fury sets the scene. He outlines what he sees with Carol Danvers— a soldier gone “renegade.” Then a line stating, “I never saw it coming from above,” in reference to war.

This is a HOLY SH@T moment. Is he referencing the Kree-Skrull War? If so this is something I’ve been waiting for.

From here we see her channel her power for the first time and it’s beautiful! A blue blast of pure energy as she appears to be hunting Skrulls.

This may lead us to Phase 4 and setting up Secret Invasion! Just WOW what a story to take to the big screen that would be.

We see Fury meet Carol and take a road trip. We discover that Carol has little memory of Earth but we get glimpses in flashbacks of her Air Force training whilst seeing clips of Photon- the mother of Monica Rambeau- which is a nice Easter egg.

It’s then off to Hala the Capital of the Kree Empire. Here we see Carol’s off-world life. We see her apartment and her either being tortured or experimented on.

Could it be The Brood wiping her mind? Possibly. If that is the case, it could be a curveball as to who the movie’s true villain is.



Now for a huge OMG moment again as we see what appears to be Mar-Vell — a huge fan pleaser. The other confirmed Kree in this sequence are Ronan the Accuser of GotG, and Korath.

A bit more voiceover as we see a Kree battleship appear over the Earth. It seems Carol is still searching for Kree as she punches an elderly lady on a train.

More Kree as we see Blues all ready for a fight as they go flying into battle. They look ready for war.

There’s more things happening on Earth as we see Agent Coulson looking serious. Then Fury again and the infamous IW pager. What a neat link to Infinity War.

But now the OMFG moment! We’ve seen Carol in green, Carol in blue, and Carol in a G-suit; but now we see what has to be Binary!!!

I screamed at this moment.

Now we see Jude Law readying for something as Carol starts to channel her powers and turn red! Is this a pre-cursor to her unleashing the power of a white hole?

At this moment there’s a close up of her wrists, but why is that significant? Has she been given the Nega bands synonymous with the Mar-Vell backstory?

The end is Carol suited up and ready to fly has to be a link to her Alpha Flight days? I got so much excitement from these two minutes I screamed with joy several times.

I gave this trailer all the stars in the cosmic. The scenes showing just brief glimpses of her powers were perfect. The way Fury narrates the trailer, it sounds more like the haggard WW2 veteran from the comics which is AWESOME, and the job they’ve done on de-aging him is fabulous. I don’t have any idea how long the film will be but it appears to be loaded with three different story arcs of Carol Danvers at least. The trailer is made up of scenes from comic panels, as it seems to want to please comic purists in a way the MCU has not attempted before. Now I just want more!!!!

Come March I’ll be ready to finally see Earth’s Mightiest Hero.
