The MCU's first female-led superhero movie is finally here in a few short weeks, and there's no chance it isn't a colossal hit: it's just a case of figuring out quite how leggy it ends up.

Captain Marvel has surpassed Wonder Woman and Aquaman in U.S. pre-sales, and currently sits behind only Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther, which should guarantee it a $900+ million cume regardless of how it reviews.

But early critical impressions are very encouraging - shocker! - and with the film serving as the lead-in to Avengers: Endgame, even more casual Marvel fans will probably be encouraged to see it in cinemas.

Word-of-mouth could easily propel this thing past the billion mark, especially if it provides a meaningful tie to Endgame and plays-up Carol Danvers' status as the only one who can stop Thanos (Josh Brolin).
