Meet Marvel's newest star

Paging Carol Danvers.

Captain Marvel is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue, and we’ve got the first look at Brie Larson’s part-Kree, part-human hero. Audiences briefly saw Carol’s symbol in the end-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War, but come March 2019, the Air Force pilot with alien powers will be getting her own origin story.

Not only is Captain Marvel the first solo, female-led movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s an introduction to the most powerful hero the MCU has ever seen. (Another Marvel first: It’s set in the 1990s!) Click through for an in-depth look at all things Carol — as well as an introduction to a few of her friends and foes.

<p>The film sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, and when it begins, Carol already has her powers. She&rsquo;s left her earthly life behind to join the elite military team Starforce on the Kree planet of Hala.&nbsp;(Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck describe Starforce as the SEAL Team Six of space.) Its members include Carol, Korath (Djimon Hounsou, returning from&nbsp;<em>Guardians of the Galaxy</em>),&nbsp;and Minn-Erva (<em>Crazy Rich Asians&#8217;&nbsp;</em>Gemma Chan).</p>

<p>The film also introduces one of Marvel comics&#8217; nastiest and most notorious baddies: the Skrulls. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader, Talos, seen here in all his bright-green glory. But he&#8217;s got another face, too&#8230;</p>

<p>As any Marvel comics fan knows, the Skrulls are especially dangerous because of their unparalleled ability to shape-shift. On Earth, Mendelsohn&#8217;s Talos goes undercover as a human working within S.H.I.E.L.D. (seen here with directors Fleck and Boden). &#8220;It&#8217;s not easy being green,&#8221; Mendelsohn quips.</p>

MCU fans have met the Kree race before in Guardians of the Galaxy, and two familiar faces — Hounsou’s Korath and Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser (pictured here) — will appear in Captain Marvel. In Guardians, Ronan is an outcast with extremist views, but here, he’s still a high-ranking member of Kree society.

<p><em>Captain Marvel&nbsp;</em>marks Samuel L. Jackson&#8217;s ninth appearance as Nick Fury, but this Nick is a lowly S.H.I.E.L.D. desk jockey (who hasn&#8217;t yet met any superheroes). He&#8217;s younger than we&#8217;ve ever seen him (Jackson was digitally de-aged for the role), and perhaps most shocking of all, he&#8217;s missing his signature eyepatch.</p>
