Set photos of Brie Larson in her Captain Marvel suit may have raised a few eyebrows to begin with, as the character is seen adopting a blue and teal costume, it's important to remember that it won't be the finished product. Fans of the character will also note that the original design for Captain Marvel was white and green, meaning that the film version could be a homage to the classic get-up.
In any case, don't bet against Carol being the one who redesigns the costume. Red and blue were the colours of Mar-Vell after all, and in looking to honour the Kree spy, Carol could adopt them too.
It's also possible that Mar-Vell arrives in the green and blue hue Carol's been wearing behind the scenes, in which case, the blue and red redesign created by artist Jamie McKelvie could come into play later. Divesting from that other look and having Danvers be the one to instigate that change would also be a great way to comment on the character's past character designs, reiterating the practicality of the latest look and referencing Carol's history with the Air Force in the process.
Less ambiguous, perhaps, are the origins of Danvers' first costume, which looks to be a Kree uniform.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
