It's not just returning faces in Captain Marvel though, with a number of exciting newcomers. Obviously chief among them is Brie Larson, with the Oscar-winning tackling the titular role, but she'll be joined by an eclectic mix of talent.

Jude Law, who's starring as Albus Dumbledore in this year's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore, will continue his resurgence with the part of Mar-vell, the original Captain Marvel who'll be serving as something of a mentor to Carol Danvers.

Annette Bening, meanwhile, has joined in a mystery role, but one rumoured to be that of Carol's mother, and Ben Mendelsohn has - of course - been cast in the role of the movie's villain, believed to be the leader of the Skrulls. Other notable additions include Robert Kazinsky, Lashana Lynch, and Gemma Chan, with the two first in unknown roles and the latter as Kree geneticist Minn-Erva.
