Like with many of the movie's details, it's still not clear exactly who the Big Bad is.

Initially, it seemed like the Skrulls were going to be the de facto bad guys, with Ben Mendelsohn's Talos leading the way. That still partially holds up, as we see Skrulls both in their natural form and impersonating humans, with Mendelson infiltrating SHIELD. That suggests he's going to be a big antagonist, but far from the only one.

This trailer shades the lines between the Kree and Skrulls, with both Annette Bening and Jude Law's characters looking like they have the potential to be villains too. That's part of what the war comes down too - both sides believing they're right, but neither actually are - which will land Captain Marvel in the middle. She could face threats from both sides then, but who is the biggest?
