She's not what you think she is.
Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for Captain Marvel, the upcoming film based on the Marvel Comics character, starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn.
The one-minute, 55-second teaser trailer opens with Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Larson), a former U.S. Air Force pilot, plummeting to Earth from high above and crashing into...a Blockbuster Video store. Yep, this is the '90s, all right.
As Captain Marvel recovers while surrounded by VHS tapes, we hear a voiceover from Nick Fury (Jackson), who says, "War is a universal language. I know a renegade soldier when I see one. It never occurred to me that one might come from above."
We see Carol wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. ball cap exploring a secret facility, as Nick Fury continues with his voiceover. "Space invasion...big car chase...Truth be told, I was ready to hang it up, 'till I met you today."
The much younger, '90s Nick Fury comes into full view as we cut to a scene of he and Carol driving along a remote desert road. "So," Fury begins, "you're not from around here."
"It's hard to explain," replies Carol.
She continues in a voiceover. "I keep having these...memories," she says as we see a fleeting image of Carol in a flight uniform with her fellow pilot, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), the mother of another Captain Marvel from the comics, Monica Rambeau. "I see flashes. I think I had a life here...but I can't tell if it's real."
We see another quick image of Captain Marvel hanging upside down, forcibly restrained, as an alien device is doing something to her mind. We also see Captain Marvel with other members of the Kree military group known as Starforce, followed by a brief shot of Mar-Vell (Jude Law), Carol's mentor and commander in Starforce.
As we glimpse the film's big bad Talos (Mendelsohn) and some other alien shapeshifter Skrulls on a beach, we hear Fury's voiceover say, "We have no idea what threats are out there." Captain Marvel sizes up an old woman on a bus, and (presumably knowing she's actually a Skrull in disguise), suddenly punches her hard.
We see a fleeting image of a much younger, '90s Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), Fury continues with "You can't do this alone. We need you." More images follow, including Captain Marvel and other Starforce members traveling underwater, with Carol wearing the helmet from the comics that gives her hair a "fauxhawk" look.
In a separate scene, Carol tells someone, "I'm not what you think I am."
The trailer ends with very dramatic music, as Captain Marvel powers up with glowing energy, her eyes blazing with power, and gets ready to pound some Skrulls.
