The early buzz for Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel is good. The first batch of movie reviewers have seen the film, and while they’re embargoed from writing a review until early March, their social media feed back is uniformly positive. Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson have a good on screen rapport making Captain Marvel both a great super hero adventure and a buddy cop movie.
A new featurette gives us our first good luck at the big bad guys of Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel – The Skrulls. The Skrulls are shapeshifters intent on stealing from earth something vital and they don’t care who gets in the way.
I can’t believe how well the technology Disney and Marvel used to de-age Samuel L. Jackson works. Also, I like how the shape shifter special effect is something new and unique. I wonder what those Skrulls want? Is it something we’ve seen before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Marvel also released a new TV spot called ‘Play’ where you get to see bit more of the buddy cop story taking place.
