The future is all female… Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

Star Brie Larson has been spotted wearing a costume in new Captain Marvel set photos. Captain Marvel will serve as the first solo female superhero film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when it arrives in 2019, nearly eleven years after the release of the first Iron Man movie. In addition to serving as Marvel Studios’ first solo female superhero vehicle, Captain Marvel will also feature Marvel’s first female (co) director, Anna Boden.

Captain Marvel tells the story of Carol Danvers, a U.S. Air Force pilot who gains powers after an accident involving Kree alien technology. She was originally known in the comics as Ms Marvel, before she took up the mantle of Captain. To date, she has served as a member and/or leader of the Avengers, S.W.O.R.D., the Ultimates, Alpha Flight, and even the Guardians of the Galaxy, in comic book form.

Larson, for her part, is definitely filming scenes for her solo Marvel film in the photos above, albeit in California. Captain Marvel takes place in the 1990s, prior to the events of Iron Man and everything that has happened in the MCU since then. (The fact that she’s reading a newspaper in one of the images above rather than looking at a smartphone is a pretty big giveaway.) However, none of the other confirmed cast members for Captain Marvel have been spotted on location just yet.

New look at Bree Larson on set as Carol Danvers aka CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!  The suit looks more amazing than what we first expected.

Among those set to join Larson in Captain Marvel are Jude Law as the original Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, Ben Mendelsohn in a villainous role, and Dewanda Wise.
