Brie Larson is set to take fight as Earth's mightiest hero in 2019's Captain Marvel. However, in spite of the character's nickname and the fact that most of the set photos find Larson on Earth alongside the likes of Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Jude Law (Mar-Vell), Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed a sizeable chunk of the film will actually take place among the stars.âMuch of the movie takes place in outer space,â Feige told Total Film. Due to the character's history of protecting the cosmos, this aspect will likely help to explain where exactly Carol Danvers has been while the rest of the MCU characters have been operating on their own respective worlds. âSheâs so, so strong,â Larson chimed in. âShe can move planets!â

Feige and Larson also explained that the film, which is set in the 1990s, would be sure to pay tribute to era-appropriate sci-fi movies. âThese are definitely homages to our favourite â90s action films,â Feige revealed. One movie that was specifically mentioned in the interview was 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day, with Feige citing the film's "cool street-level fights and car chases."
âIâm proud of what it is weâre making," Larson added. "All of the hype will be worth it.â
