Captain Marvel has had its ups & downs with me so far. In the last trailers I mentioned that "powered up" she looked awesome, but otherwise Brie Larson just looked kinda bored. On top of that Samuel L Jackson was stealing the scene left and right. Not the case with this newly released "Special Look". Jackson's still great, but this trailer gave some life to Larson out of full costume. Their back & forth seemed much more natural this time around. Leading me to hope I only felt that way in the first ones due to how the snippets were cut. I absolutely loved the Jukebox scene they put in here, not to mention the SHIELD logo quip. Comedic scenes aside though, this first foray into the cosmic side of the Marvel universe looks pretty intense this time around. You get more looks at her while team as well as some more of the training with Jude Law. Still no clear consensus on Law's character though. I'm still leaning towards Mar-Vell, even with the Yon-Rogg Funko "mishap". I keep thinking that was either misdirection or we're going to get a combination of the characters with the film's release. Making it a huge Spoiler instead. I digress though, back to the trailer. Which is hands down the first one for this film I've absolutely loved start to finish so far. It has totally renewed my excitement for this release. I also can't help but think this isn't as much set up for Captain Marvel in Avengers: Endgame as it is set up for the future of Marvel Studios as a whole. If this is what I think it is, it could be setting us up for the next major event post-Endgame . Those who are enriched in the actual Marvel comics probably already know where I'm going with this, but I think a "Secret Invasion" might've already occurred. Our heroes futures, based on this one's past might just be dealing with the ramifications. Anyways, as of now that's just speculation. So on another note, what did y'all think of this special look? Was it special enough for ya? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
New Trailer For Marvel Studio's "Captain Marvel" Debuted Last Night
After finding out that Jude Law is in fact not playing Mar-Vell as everyone previously thought via a Pop Vinyl release, I was really looking forward to this new Captain Marvel trailer. For those who don't know the Pop figure I'm mentioning was named Yon-Rogg. Funny thing is this is the exact opposite of playing Mar-Vell, as he was his nemesis. According to ScreenRant, Marvel was not so happy about this apparent leak, & the Pop figure's name has now been changed to Star Commander. So, still not 100%, but I'm just gonna guess a form a Yonn-Rogg is the safe bet. Anyway, back to the matter at hand, this new trailer. I was a little underwhelmed this time around. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it. I was just expecting to be blown away. In fact besides the last couple of scenes where Captain Marvel's tearing ass through space, I honestly thought Samuel L. Jackson's young Nick Fury totally stole the the trailer. On top of that, it doesn't help Larson almost seems bored at times here. I'm still feel like the finished product is going to be great. This trailer just didn't give me the feeling that most Marvel trailers do. I do feel like this is going to be the most "comic-book" thing we've seen so far in the somewhat grounded reality of the MCU so far. I think this is really going to test what they can do next in the form of expanding the universe into the wide world of weird that is the whole of Marvel comics. Believe me when I say we haven't even scratched the surface of where Marvel can go. So, all in all, I liked the trailer. I was hoping to love it, but it's a just a commercial. No real reflection on the final product. They put out an awesome looking poster though. But really, I'm curious to know, what are y'all's thoughts? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Jude Law For Mar-Vell In "Captain Marvel"?!?
When they started talking about Captain Marvel I figured they were going to go with the Carol Danvers version of the character. Which they confirmed casting Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. However, I kept thinking you can't really do her story without Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. This alien of the Kree race was my Captain Marvel. Though I say mine loosely, I only read a little Captain Marvel, he also popped up in a lot of titles I read at the back then. Since the mantle has been passed on to Carol I haven't followed Captain Marvel that much at all though, save crossovers. She's passed the original in popularity, but this isn't about her. This is about the casting of Mar-Vell in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie. Collider has Jude Law in final talks, while other sites has labeled this a thing now, to play the original Captain, Mar-Vell. Now I've been totally on board with every casting choice Marvel has made so far. This time though, I can't say they made a bad decision, I love Jude Law. I will say I have my concerns however. As awesome an actor as Jude Law is, I don't really see him as a great choice for Mar-Vell, a character who looks like Matthew McConaughey on steroids. I guess all in all that's just the visual side of it. A good performance could nullify that. I guess that's why I'm going back & forth on this, & I'm guessing by the time we see it, I'll be all in anyway. That's where I'm at though, not a great decision, not a bad decision, just maybe a questionable decision for now. What do y'all think about this choice? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
