Carol can fly, shoot fire out of her fists, and absorb energy. So in other words, she's not someone you want to mess with.

But Carol isn't always wearing Kree colors. Here she is in her red, gold, and blue ensemble.

“You have this Kree part of her that’s unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive,” Larson tells EW. “Then there’s this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It’s the thing that gets her in trouble, but it’s also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her.”

“She has a sense of determination that fits this character very well,” Jackson says of his superpowered costar. “It’s a lot of work to get ready for something like this, and she did all that. She’s got the talent and the skill to make it something that’s going to be very special.”

The Nick Fury we meet in Captain Marvel still has a long way to go before becoming the jaded, eyepatch-wearing secret agent we know best.

Captain Marvel

“The Nick Fury we meet is sort of a bureaucrat in an interesting sort of way,” Jackson explains. “He hadn’t become jaded or a slave to the cynicism that we normally see. He sort of respects the people that are above him, more so than the Nick Fury that people are used to.”

Audiences got their first introduction to the Kree in Guardians of the Galaxy, but Captain Marvel takes us to the Kree home world of Hala for the first time.

The Kree mantra is "for the good of the Kree" — prioritizing the collective good over individual achievement.

Captain Marvel also sees the return of Guardians of the Galaxy baddie Ronan (Lee Pace).

Here we see Ronan looming menacingly over a planet. Is that Hala — or is that Earth?

Carol's mentor and the commander of Starforce is Yon-Rogg (Jude Law).

32 of 52

Captain Marvel

“He is driven by a belief in the divine leadership of the Kree people,” Law says. “So he’s almost a devout warrior — unquestioning, conservative, but inspirational.”

33 of 52

Captain Marvel

Yon-Rogg and Carol have a close mentor-mentee relationship. “These extraordinary powers she has, he sees them as something of a blessing and something that she has to learn how to control,” Law says. “That’s a motif throughout the piece, the element of learning to control one’s emotions and to use your powers wisely.”

Continued on next slide.

Captain Marvel

Carol and Yon-Rogg's friendship doesn't always sit well with the rest of their teammates. “There’s a lot and back and forth that comes with the two of them, which kind of creates a little bit of tension with the rest of Starforce,” Larson adds. “Like, ‘Why do they have a special relationship, and why isn’t it me?’”

Minn-Erva is one of the most dangerous members of Starforce, thanks to her elite sniper skills.
