Captain Marvel has a brand new trailer, which debuted during the College Football National Championship game, and it might be the most “Marvel” trailer of them all. The trailer opens with Carol Danvers giving us our first full explanation of who the shape shifting Skrull are and why she’s punching that old lady on the train, as she tells Nick Fury that an alien invasion is on the way. The trailer also gives us a little bit of time with Carol fighting in space, some training with Jude Law and even a little bit of light barbing at the first iteration of Fury’s S.H.I.E.L.D logo. Just like in previous trailers, this one also gave us brief glimpses of some of the film’s other characters who aren’t named Nick Fury and Carol Danvers, but it still didn’t tell us much about them. We still really don’t know who Annette Bening is playing in the movie, plus there was no Goose! The new trailer is our first new look at a Marvel movie to come in 2019, and our first since Marvel showed off the Avengers: Endgame trailer back in December of last year. While Carol Danvers is confirmed to play a role in Endgame, the trailers for Captain Marvel have kept her Avengers role a complete mystery. We likely won’t know until the movie is released, or maybe even until Endgame itself comes out on April 27. Captain Marvel is coming to theaters on March 8.<doc-sep>Marvel fans are getting more excited as each new snippet of footage and tidbit of info for the forthcoming "Captain Marvel" makes its way onto the internet. The movie could prove to be the surprise superhero hit of 2019, much like "Black Panther" and "Aquaman" were last year. The first trailer for Marvel Studios' "Captain Marvel" was amazing and the second trailer was even more awesome, giving a few more tantalizing glimpses of the next exciting character to be added to the Marvel Comic Universe. The movie focuses on former Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, who is catapulted to the stars as she grapples with sharing a heritage between humanity and the alien race known as the Kree, granting her unthinkable power. [Biggest Space Movies to Watch in 2019] This newest trailer reveals some of Mar-Vell's (Jude Law) role mentoring Danvers, who believes she's Kree like him and not an Earthling. Plus, it shows us that the film appears to have a a good balance between epic space battles and quickfire humor that, when used in the right places, has made many of the Marvel movies stand head-and-shoulders above the opposition. It's quite likely that Danvers (Brie Larson) – who becomes Capt. Marvel – will end up saving the lives of Tony Stark and friends in "Avengers: Endgame," especially now that Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury, has revealed a significant power in Danvers' arsenal that could change everything in the forthcoming fight against Thanos. "She's pretty much the strongest character … in the Marvel universe," Jackson said, speaking to ET Online about Danvers' powers. "And at some point, we'll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she's capable of. She's one of the few people in the Marvel universe that can time travel, so … " Oh, yes. Time travel. There's been no shortage of speculation about whether time travel would play a part in the plot of "Avengers: Endgame" to ensure our heroes don't really die for real, so this would seem to be logical. It could also explain where Capt. Marvel has been for the last 30 years. Also according to ET Online, another mystery that'll be resolved is what exactly happened to Nick Fury's eye. "You'll see, specifically, the origin of what happened to his eye. You'll find out that he does have a family, that's referenced. You don't see them, but they are referenced in another way," Jackson said. Larson will be joined by Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, who received a digital de-aging treatment along with Jackson. Other familiar faces returning are Lee Pace as Ronan and Djimon Hounsou as Korath from "Guardians of the Galaxy." The cast also includes Lashana Lynch and Gemma Chan, along with Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte and McKenna Grace. "Captain Marvel" is scheduled to open in theaters March 8, 2019. Follow Scott Snowden on Twitter. Follow us on Twitter @Spacedotcom and on Facebook.

Now the new Captain Marvel trailer is teasing more of that origin story, looking at Fury's friendship with Captain Marvel. The new Marvel movie, set in the 90s, sees Brie Larson star as Carol Danvers, a former Air Force pilot with powers of alien origin. She also happens to be Fury's first superhero encounter. Samuel L. Jackson is a underling, a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent of the lowest rung, but Danvers' arrival to Earth starts to change that. She shows him her powers and, along with Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), start to consider something like the Avengers as an option. “You think you can find others?” Coulson says. “She’s just the beginning,” Fury replies. The new trailer whizzes through the footage showing the Kree-Skrull War, Jude Law as Danvers' mentor, and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos. Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think. Captain Marvel is out in cinemas in March.<doc-sep>
By the end of this year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be twenty-three films strong, and in a franchise this elaborately interconnected, it’s inevitable that there’d be a few minor inconsistencies, one of which is believed to have been found in the latest trailer for Captain Marvel. As you may well know, Carol Danvers’ solo debut will be taking us back to the ‘90s, with the story unfolding well over a decade before the events of the franchise-founding Iron Man. For her first MCU outing, Carol will be crossing paths with Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, both of whom are already working as part of the organization known as “S.H.I.E.L.D.” In fact, Fury even calls the agency by that exact name in his final scene of the trailer. So, what’s the problem? Well, cast your mind back to the first Iron Man movie, and you may recall that Coulson repeatedly refers to the organization as the “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.” It’s practically a running joke how Clark Gregg’s character has to say this convoluted name every time he’s explaining who he works for. Tony Stark even tells Phil that the agency needs a new name, and when Pepper Potts makes a similar comment, he assures her, “We’re working on it.” Leaked Captain Marvel Set Pics Reveal New Look At Young Coulson 1 of 7 Click to skip MORE FROM THE WEB Click to zoom It’s only near the end of the movie when Coulson tells Pepper, “Just call us ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.,’” signalling the birth of an acronym, yet according to the new trailer, employees at S.H.I.E.L.D. were referring to the agency by its shortened name several years prior. Of course, it’s hardly the most significant of errors, and if it saves us the hassle of sitting through an entire movie of characters referring to the agency as the “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.,” then perhaps it’s worth the minor lapse in consistency. Regardless, you can witness the early years of Coulson and Fury when Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8th, 2019.
