These Captain Marvel Character Posters Are Hyping Us All Up

We’re in the home stretch for Captain Marvel promotion now, which means all the teases are coming our way. Today, Marvel has released ten new character posters for most of the film’s major players, including one special feline friend. This is an excellent look at some characters who haven’t taken the front seat in promotion, such as Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) and Minn-Erva (Gemma Chan), and it still keeps the air of mystery surrounding some of the other characters.

Let’s break down the posters, which you can see for yourself at the bottom of this post.

We’ve got posters for Carol (Brie Larsen), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Minn-Erva, Korath (Djimon Hounsou), Maria Rambeau, Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), and Goose the cat, as well as posters for Jude Law and Annette Bening’s mysterious characters. We still don’t officially know who either are playing, though there’s plenty of speculation and hints about both.

We’ve written about the indications of just who Jude Law is actually playing before. On the flip side, Bening is rumored to be playing the Supreme Intelligence, which would fit with what we’ve seen of her character in the trailer; her appearance would be a departure from the character’s usual comic book appearance.

One notable absence from the lineup is Ronan the Accuser, played by Lee Pace. Both Ronan and Korath appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy as antagonists, but here they have not yet begun their villainous journeys. Korath is second-in-command of Starforce, serving under Law’s character, and Ronan is a member of the Kree military. This film probably won’t show their entire descent into villainy, but we’ll most likely see seeds planted that can later be picked up by future films.

Goose (a.k.a. the artist formerly known as Chewie in the comics) getting his own poster is also just a genius marketing move. People love cats, especially cute ones. Goose is absolutely adorable, and we’ve already seen a great clip of Fury cooing over Carol’s friend. But is Goose a flerken, a dangerous alien species that looks similar to Earth’s cats? Or is Goose a Skrull? The second option is highly unlikely, but it’s fun to speculate.

Without further ado, here are all ten posters in all their glory. Take a look at how awesome they are, and then let us know which Captain Marvel character you’re most looking forward to seeing in the comments section.
