Our take on Captain Marvel

Set in the 1990s, this 2019 Marvel adventure introduces Carol Danvers as she grows into one of the universe's most powerful heroes while Earth is caught between two warring alien races. Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck fold action and science fiction into an origin story that fills a previously unseen gap in the wider cinematic timeline. Expect galactic scale tempered by a grounded, memory-puzzle throughline as Danvers works out who she really is. It suits viewers invested in the connected saga and anyone who likes a hero discovering her own limits, though the period setting also lets newcomers enjoy it fairly self-contained.
