In the wake of Thanos’ attack in Avengers: Infinity War, humanity’s greatest hope lies in a new warrior – a cosmically-enhanced hero with a human origin story, waiting in the intergalactic wings to make a grand entrance. Her name is Carol Danvers, and very soon you’re going to know her as Captain Marvel – the MCU’s most radical new character, arriving in her own epic blockbuster this March. The new Cap adorns the cover of Empire’s March issue – and in our exclusive subscriber cover, designed by Doaly, she's the universe’s shining light, illuminating the cosmos with her powers.

Inside the issue, Empire went on the set of Captain Marvel in LA to get the inside story on the ‘90s-set adventure, its host of mysterious characters, and the indie-film directing duo stepping up to an entirely different level of filmmaking. All that, plus plenty more exciting stuff set to be announced in the coming days – and keep your eyes peeled next week for the Captain Marvel newsstand cover.
