While we still don't have a trailer - although one will surely arrive in the next few weeks - Entertainment Weekly have unveiled a proper first look at the movie which, while not quite living up to the 'break the internet' hype, does give us a much better idea of what to expect from the movie.

The focus is understandably on its titular character, with a number of shots of Brie Larson's Carol Danvers in and out of the classic costume, as well as Jude Law's mentor, Ben Mendelsohn's villain, Lashana Lynch's Maria Rambeau, and Nicky Fury sans iconic eyepatch.

One of the bigger reveals, though, is the first look at the Skrulls. We've known for some time they'd be a big part of this movie, but they should also have a key role in shaping the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole moving into Phase 4.
