Predicting The Rotten Tomatoes Scores For Every Upcoming Superhero Movie

8. Captain Marvel (91%)

Brie Larson Captain Marvel
Marvel

Release Date: March 8, 2019

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Brie Larson finally gives the Marvel Cinematic Universe its first female-led superhero movie with a charming and visually impressive, if also rather familiar, comic book origin story."

An actress of Brie Larson's caliber is always going to be a credit to any tentpole franchise, and she's no doubt going to do fantastic work as the title character, while fingers are very much crossed that the writing and direction will ensure Captain Marvel is a home run as the MCU's first female-led comic book film.

With the talented directing duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind) and excellent writing team of Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) and Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy), it's incredibly easy to give this one the benefit of the doubt before shooting has even started.

If Marvel Studios nails it, they're going to have a new icon on their hands for sure.
