Captain Marvel Trailer 2 Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

5. Skrulls On Show

The second trailer has an obligation to escalate things and generally to be better than the first teaser. That second element is a little up for debate, depending on how much you enjoyed the trailer as a complete package, but the first box is definitely ticked.

Putting aside what they do with Marvel as a powerful entity for the minute (more of that soon), the second trailer does something very specific that the first didn't - it shows the Skrulls properly. It gives a real face to the "evil" Marvel will be facing, or at least trying to uncover. And they look good (even if there will be SOME accusations of slight goofiness) - comic book fans at the very least will be delighted.

It's also nice to see a hint of what they can do while in disguise, even if showing us the old lady going full kung fu somewhat spoils the magic of that reveal for the movie.
