(And, just to be clear, I’m talking about the Marvel movie by that name, not the Shazam<\/i> movie coming from DC, starring a character who used to be called “Captain Marvel” but now is called “Shazam.” Got it? Though I’m looking forward to that one, too.)<\/p>\n

The pix make it clear that Marvel is taking quite a few liberties in Carol Danvers’ origin \/ early story, instead tying her into much more active participation with the Kree back in the 1990s, as well as having participation an early SHIELD desk jockey named Nick Fury.<\/p>\n

How it all works, how it all ties into GotG (and Avengers 4),<\/i> let alone Kree shenanigans on Agents of SHIELD<\/i> (assuming any level of interaction between Marvel’s movies and TV any more) — we’ll have to wait until next March to see.<\/p>\n

The pix, at least, look interesting. Carol’s suit is more complicated than even the comic book one, and she’s lost the hip sash (which is somewhat iconic for the character, but, yeah). Marvel is investing a bundle into having this bridge the current and next phase of the MCU, so I hope it all works out well.<\/p>\n
