The twenty-first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ‘Captain Marvel’ is hitting theatres this Friday on International Women’s Day. It is the Marvel Studios’ first female-led superhero film.
The film is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Annette Bening, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law and it is set in 1995.
The film features Carol Danvers who is a Marvel Comic character. Just like her character in the comic books, she is a superhero, who is gifted with extraordinary superpowers.
With some action-packed turn of events, she gets caught up into a war between two different galaxies, between two different species, the Krees, and the Skrulls. Yeah, this is how Marvel Universe works, no two galaxies live on good terms with each other.
Somehow, Danvers returns to earth with all her memories erased and she tries to figure out the reason behind it. She gets flashes of her memory every now and then.
