Captain Marvel Official Trailer Released

September 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The new Captain Marvel trailer dropped this morning and the internet went into a frenzy of what was shown. Set in the mid 1990s, the story follows Carol Danvers who becomes Captain Marvel after joining a Kree military team called Starforce. She finds her way back home as a shapeshifting species called Skrulls start to invade Earth.

As for any LEGO Captain Marvel sets that could be coming, I have a guess that we may get one or two sets based on the movie similar to what LEGO did with Black Panther and Ant-Man. As for what I want to see in a set, of course, I want an updated Captain Marvel minifigure, perhaps in her Starforce outfit with the mask and mohawk. Also a couple of Skrull minifigures would be nice as we don’t have official ones of them yet.

Are you guys excited for Captain Marvel and what she would be bringing to the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War? Captain Marvel will be in theaters March 8, 2019.
