Captain Marvel movie ‘is NOT typical origin story – it’s like NOTHING you’ve seen before’

WARNING SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS INFINITY WAR AHEAD

Avengers Infinity War ended with a hope, one alluding to Captain Marvel herself.

In the end credits scene as Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury turned to ash, he just in the nick of time sent out a distress beacon using an old gadget.

Once the message had gone, the device’s screen showed Captain Marvel’s star symbol surrounded by red and green.

While she’s expected to play a big role in Avengers 4, her origin movie – set in the 1990s – is due in March and will reveal how she obtained her powers and met Fury for the first time.

However it sounds like the Captain Marvel movie won’t be your typical superhero origin story.

Marvel producer Nate Moore, has teased what fans can expect from Larson’s solo film.

Speaking with CinemaBlend, he said: “I think there is a structure to origin films that audiences sometimes can get ahead of very quickly.

“So, if we do origin films, internally, we talk about how we can subvert that structure.”

Moore continued: “For instance, Captain Marvel is an origin movie in that you haven’t seen her before, but we think we’ve stumbled upon a structure there that isn’t the traditional structure of what origin movies typically are, which is you meet the character, they have a problem, they get powers at the end of the first act, and the end of the second act they learn about the powers, the third act they probably fight a villain who has a function of the same powers.

“That’s a lot of times what a typical origin movie is structured like, but as we introduce new characters moving forward, we want to find ways to subvert that structure, so at least the experience of the film feels new to audiences.

“We’re very conscious of making sure that audiences don’t get things that feel like they’ve seen them before.”

Marvel boss Kevin Feige has also confirmed she’s “the most powerful hero.”

He said: “You’re going to get the most powerful superhero that we’ve ever introduced with, I think, one of the most unique and inspiring origin stories.”

Captain Marvel is released in UK cinemas on March 8, 2019.
