What is Captain Marvel all about?

Based on the popular comics by Carol Danvers, this story will take place in the 1990s and feature shape-shifting Marvel aliens the Skrulls as villains.

During an interview with ComicBook.com, Marvel president Kevin Feige kept things vague about the plot, saying: ‘You already know as much as you need to.
‘We’ve got Skrulls, we’ve got the Kree, it takes place in the 90s, you have Sam Jackson with two eyes and Carol Danvers, a unique telling of Carol Danvers origin story.

‘We are about two weeks out from completion of principal photography.’

Feige also confirmed that the Captain Marvel character will go on to be ‘very important’ to the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
