With the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to end. Enter Phase Four, and the impending introduction of one of Marvel’s most powerful female superheroes into the MCU: Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, who will be played by Brie Larson in 2019’s Captain Marvel.
It has been a long journey to the top for Carol. Since she was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan 50 years ago in 1968, she has been through numerous ups and downs, assumed several superhero identities, and played major roles in some of Marvel’s biggest events.
