Filming forCaptain Marvelis currently underway in Los Angeles and there have been quite a bit of photos from the set that have leaked. Last week, we were treated to our first look at Samuel L. Jackson as a young, two-eyed Nick Fury along with some background shots that show off the early 1990s aesthetic. Now, we’re looking at some new set pictures that depict Brie Larson as Carol Danvers on top of a train, preparing for battle.
Interest in theCaptain Marvelhas begun to spike after the release ofInfinity Warlast week and many Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are starting to wonder how big of a roleCarol Danverswill have in the upcomingAvengers 4. For now, Brie Larson is filming scenes for the stand-alone movie, which will hit theaters early next year, ahead of the release of the follow up toInfinity War. Some new photos from the set have leaked that show Larson on top of a train, with a blue screen behind her, getting ready for battle.
When asked about whyCaptain Marvel didn’t show up in Infinity War, screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus revealed that they didn’t want the character to show up in the movie without being a fully-formed character, meaning they wanted her to make her MCU debut after being introduced. However, it seems that Carol Danvers will have a pretty large part to play inAvengers 4, after her debut inCaptain Marvel. The screenwriters have hinted that her intense military background will show up in the story at some point.
As forhow Captain Marvel will fit into the MCU, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely say that the movie, along withAnt-Man 2will have meaningful ties toAvengers 4, which has led to speculation that MCU devotees will be seeing some pretty meaningful post-credit scenes in both upcoming movies that take place before the events inInfinity War.Captain Marvelis set in the early 1990s whileAnt-Man 2takes place directly beforeInfinity War. It’s believed that the ending ofAnt-Man 2 and Infinity War could match along with the Captain Marvelmovie.
Now that we’ve seen Brie Larson in action on the set ofCaptain Marvelnumerous times and been introduced to Samuel L. Jackson as the young Nick Fury, many are beginning to wonder when we’ll see Jude Law’s Mar-Vell in full costume. We’ve seen the actor on the set, but he had a robe on, covering up what looked to be Kree armor, much like Carol Danvers'. For now, we’ll have to take what we can get. It seems that a large degree of filming will or has taken place on a soundstage since a lot of the movie is expected to take place in space, with plenty of motion capture action going on.
