Why Brie Larson Is Not Wearing The Iconic Captain Marvel Costume

Captain Marvel is one of the most anticipated upcoming MCU movies and the Academy Award winner, Brie Larson will be playing the iconic Marvel female superhero, Captain Marvel. The first set photos from the movie were recently released by MCU. In the first set photos, we finally got a glimpse at Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. Moreover, the set images also gave us a clear idea on the costume that she will be wearing in the movie

Even though the design of her suit did match with the classic costume worn by Captain Marvel in the comics, the colour schemes of the suit looks way different from the iconic comic costume. Instead of the iconic yellow, blue, and red coloured comic book costume, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers is strolling around the set in a teal and navy green coloured costume.

The decision made by the MCU and filmmakers to switch the costume doesn’t make sense. It is crucial to mote that the new colour schemes used by MCU heavily deviates from Captain Marvel’s classic costume. So, if you are a huge fan of Carol Danvers, there is a good chance that you will be deeply disappointed with the first set images of this upcoming MCU movie. However, before we jump into any sort of conclusions about the costume, let us try to examine the logic behind the new suit.

As you probably know, Captain Marvel movie will be featuring the Kree and it will also include the Kree-Skrull War, which will reveal how Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel. So, the green shaded costume might be just a kree version of the original suit. Besides, there is also a possibility that Carol might have taken the uniform from a Kree soldier or maybe she may have enlisted in the Kree Army. Another interesting theory floating around the web suggests that Captain Marvel may have gone off-world with the Kree and she will return to the present day in the fourth Avengers movies that follows Avengers Infinity War.

On the other hand, several die-hard MCU fans have united in support of the new suit and they claim that the suit worn by Captain Marvel is actually a nod to the original Captain Marvel, “Mar-Vell”. Mar-Vell, who is a kree warrior, will also be appearing in the film and the role will be played by Jude Law. Fans have also been speculating that the suit will be passed on from Mar-Vell to Carol Danvers. However, it seems that we will need to wait until the release of Captain Marvel to know the story behind the new suit. Captain Marvel will release on 6 March, 2019.
