Entertainment Weekly does not have good track record with their covers but thankfully they buck the trend with this wonderful look of Brie in her classic Captain Marvel's red and blue outfit.
- - - - ! SPOILER ALERT ! LINE STARTS HERE ! - - - -
Here's a bit spoilerish information from the issue so tread carefully or just stay away if you want to go in as fresh as you want:
Apparently, when this adventure begins, Carol Danvers will already have her powers and will have left Earth behind to join an elite military team called Starforce, a group led by Jude Law's enigmatic commander. However, she soon chooses to return to Earth to explore her past and that's presumably when we'll learn how the superhero gained her incredible abilities.
"She can’t help but be herself," actress Brie Larson explains to Entertainment Weekly. "She can be aggressive, and she can have a temper, and she can be a little invasive and in your face. She’s also quick to jump to things, which makes her amazing in battle because she’s the first one out there and doesn’t always wait for orders. But the [not] waiting for orders is, to some, a character flaw."

Okay, below are the ten official stills so don't scroll down if you want to stay spoiler-free, especially all these images have their own descriptions.
Captain Marvel is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue, and we’ve got the first look at Brie Larson’s part-Kree, part-human hero. Audiences briefly saw Carol’s symbol in the end-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War, but come March 2019, the Air Force pilot with alien powers will be getting her own origin story.
Not only is Captain Marvel the first solo, female-led movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s an introduction to the most powerful hero the MCU has ever seen. (Another Marvel first: It’s set in the 1990s!) Click through for an in-depth look at all things Carol — as well as an introduction to a few of her friends and foes.
"The film sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, and when it begins, Carol already has her powers. She’s left her earthly life behind to join the elite military team Starforce on the Kree planet of Hala. (Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck describe Starforce as the SEAL Team Six of space.) Its members include Carol, Korath (Djimon Hounsou, returning from Guardians of the Galaxy), and Minn-Erva (Crazy Rich Asians’ Gemma Chan).
His name isn't mention here but Jude Law is supposedly playing the original Mar-Vell.
"Jude Law plays the commander of Starforce, who views Carol as a mentee and pet project. “These extraordinary powers she has, he sees them as something of a blessing and something that she has to learn how to control,” Law says. “That’s a motif throughout the piece, the element of learning to control one’s emotions and to use your powers wisely.”
Here we go, hopefully an introduction of the Secret War ...
"The film also introduces one of Marvel comics’ nastiest and most notorious baddies: the Skrulls. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader, Talos, seen here in all his bright-green glory. But he’s got another face, too …
I'm hoping these duo would excel in directing this film, proving Marvel giving opportunity to up-and-comers is a risk well taken.
"As any Marvel comics fan knows, the Skrulls are especially dangerous because of their unparalleled ability to shape-shift. On Earth, Mendelsohn’s Talos goes undercover as a human working within S.H.I.E.L.D. (seen here with directors Fleck and Boden). “It’s not easy being green,” Mendelsohn quips.
Before being outcasted for his views, maybe we'll see the action that led to that banishment. Is Jude Law's character leaning towards Ronan or Carol Danvers?
"MCU fans have met the Kree race before in Guardians of the Galaxy, and two familiar faces — Hounsou’s Korath and Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser (pictured here) — will appear in Captain Marvel. In Guardians, Ronan is an outcast with extremist views, but here, he’s still a high-ranking member of Kree society.
She is in the SHIELD compound with that hat on. If not, would she be wearing it out in the public? They do love their branding ...
"Back on Earth, the 1990s are in full swing. Expect plenty of era-appropriate references — and fashion, judging by Carol’s Nine Inch Nails T-shirt.
Is this post de-aging technology or just proper makeup technique? He still looks young for his age so that helps a lot in him being able to play his younger self. I do believe we will find out by the end of the film how he lost his eye ...
"Captain Marvel marks Samuel L. Jackson’s ninth appearance as Nick Fury, but this Nick is a lowly S.H.I.E.L.D. desk jockey (who hasn’t yet met any superheroes). He’s younger than we’ve ever seen him (Jackson was digitally de-aged for the role), and perhaps most shocking of all, he’s missing his signature eyepatch.
This would play out maybe minutes, just enough for us to her getting into the accident that would give her her superpowers.
"Even before she became Captain Marvel, Carol was an accomplished Air Force pilot, and Larson spent time with actual pilots for research.
That's a little deep of a description of her character to not play into Carol's storyline, probably when she returns back to Earth and would need her friend's help or just a place to hide.
"The film also introduces Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau, one of Carol’s oldest friends. She’s a top-notch Air Force pilot with the call sign “Photon,” and she’s also a single mother to a young daughter.
