And until now, very little has been officially know about the movie. The film will be the 21st in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first female-led in the universe. > We know Larson will be playing Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot who becomes a superhero after a meeting with the Kree alien named Mar-vell; her powers include flight, super strength, the ability to absorb and use energy (meaning she can shoot energy blasts and lasers from her hands).
