Captain Marvel: Everything We Know So Far

2. Captain Marvel's Power Scale

This being an origin story means we're going to get to see Captain Marvel gaining and developing her powers, and while that's something we're well accustomed to by this point of the MCU, this time around it's going to be on a whole other level.

Avengers 4 writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely said that when they were writing the character for Avengers 4, she was "on a completely different power scale."

Some of that might well come from having another 20-or-so years between this movie and that one to hone her abilities, but Brie Larson herself spoke about the character recently, revealing "She's so strong. She can move planets! So, to me, it's like how far can I go with this strength?"

Whether that's something that happens in Captain Marvel or not is unclear, but it should mean that even in the solo movie, Carol Danvers is going to be incredibly powerful.
