Ever since the announcement of Brie Larson winning the role of Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, the studio has been relatively quiet with anything related to the film. That is, until last night. To the envy of every Marvel fan around the globe, the press was given a tour of Marvel Studios’ headquarters. There, the studio showed off footage and concept art from a slate of upcoming films.
One leg of the tour that stood out the most was a first look at Brie Larson in her Captain Marvel suit. Nerdist was there and they give a very detailed account:
"We stepped into an office with walls lined with concept art from all the upcoming MCU films, but our eyes immediately went to Carol Danvers. There were only three Captain Marvel images up on the wall, but they packed quite a punch. The first two pieces of concept art featured Brie Larson in her costume, which appears to draw heavy inspiration from her classic comics suit. Though the design kept Captain Marvel’s signature eight-pointed star emblem square on the chest, its look and feel were more akin to Ant Man’s suit than Iron Man’s. Like a form-fitting armor, her suit is less spandex and more military grade, covering her whole body. Her iconic sash is more of a utility belt, favoring function over form. In the concept art she stands tall, staring off into the distance, looking hopeful but tough."
To prove that the suit looks just as great in motion, another image had Captain Marvel facing off with a large opponent:
"The third image showed her fighting off a something in a giant metal suit with a helmet; the creature looked almost like the Kree sentries. Between her hands, glowing red energy–a.k.a. Captain Marvel’s energy projection and absorption powers"
In Marvel we trust. The studio hasn’t faltered in any of its suit designs—okay, maybe Captain America’s garb from The Avengers (2012). Let’s just say their costume designers really know their stuff. And Captain Marvel’s suit will be the latest in a long line of striking costumes.
