We know Captain Marvel has her own movie coming next year, before the next Avengers film and now we've gotten our first look at the hero. And while we're still not certain where she falls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, we're pretty sure the movie will focus on her origin story from the '90s -- and that Avengers: Infinity War end-credits scene making it more than certain she'll appear in the next Avengers film.

The 2019 film Captain Marvel will star Brie Larson as the Carol Danvers version of the character, a version created in 1968 by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan. Her complicated comics backstory: She worked to become a high-ranking Air Force pilot before she quit to join the CIA and eventually NASA. While Larsen has not technically appeared in the MCU yet, we saw her logo in the Avengers: Infinity War end-credits scene.
