The wait is finally over, True Believers - the trailer for Captain Marvel has arrived and it looks absolutely stunning. Complete with eye-catching moments and key reveals aplenty, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's feature looks set to kick off the MCU's 2018 with a bang, before Avengers 4 comes around a few months after.

There's a lot to love about this new trailer, including Brie Larson's rendition of Carol Danvers as well as young Nick Fury, but there are quite a few subtle details too that some viewers may have overlooked. With references to beloved Marvel Comics storylines, callbacks to certain costumes and even a few sneaky shots that divulge some of the plot, this initial teaser has actually given away more than most perhaps realise.

March 2019 might seem like a long time to go, but with this teaser and a likely follow-up to keep us going, as well as a buttload of related Captain Marvel media, it should be here in no time at all.

15. Captain Marvel Is A "Renegade Soldier"

The first snippet of info we're given to piece together Carol Danvers' situation comes relatively early on into the trailer, after Carol has emerged from a Blockbuster rental store (gone, but forever in our hearts).

With a narration provided by Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, we're informed that she's a "renegade soldier", and given what we know about Carol's association with the Kree Military - in particular the unit known as Starforce - it's likely that she's broken ties with them to return to Earth, and even likelier that it has something to do with her apparent amnesia.
