Disney has released a new TV spot for Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated new filmCaptain Marvel. The superhero origin story starsBrie Larsonas the titular hero, but it’s unique in the MCU for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it’s their first film with a female protagonist as Oscar-winner Larson takes on the role of the MCU’s most powerful hero. Secondly, it’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first prequel, asCaptain Marveltakes place in the 1990s.
This new TV spot mostly features footage we’ve seen previously from the first two trailers, but with the release date coming up in a couple of months, Disney is now switching the marketing gears to raise awareness. It’ll be interesting to see ifCaptain Marvelcan broach the success ofBlack Panther, which opened in February of 2018 and went on to gross over $700 million domestically. Obviously there’s intense interest around April’sAvengers: Endgame, butCaptain Marvelis shaping up to be an important piece of the MCU puzzle as it explains A. Where the titular hero came from and B. Where she’s been—especially given that Marvel’sKevin Feigekeeps saying Captain Marvel is the most powerful character in the entire MCU. Surely she’s the one who eventually defeats Thanos, right?
