Captain Marvel Trailer Breakdown: 15 Things You Need To See
2. The Mask
Marvel Studios
During a sequence that shows off the Captain operating alongside Starforce, she can be seen sporting a helmet. This isn't just any helmet though - it's actually the one first used during her revamp in 2012.
Jamie McKelvie's redesign of Carol Danvers costume is sure to reach iconic status in no time at all, and while the helmet is absent from much of the character's media these days, it's still a neat addition to her costume and its presence in the trailer is a neat throwback to its early appearances.
Marvel Comics
Also cool to note is the fact the on-screen interpretation has retained the glowing eye effect from the comics, making this particular outfit one of the MCU's most detailed yet.
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.
