‘Captain Marvel’ First Look Features Brie Larson In A Power Rangers-Looking Costume
Brie Larson’s first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently filming, and the first look at the actress in herCaptain Marvelcostume has just popped-up online. The results are…surprising, and even a bit Power Ranger-ish. See theCaptain Marvelfirst look below.

The costume is a bit…underwhelming. Still, Brie Larson clearly looks like she’s having a great time! Of course, it’s worth noting this is an out-of-context set photograph – lighting and color correction will eventually make it look completely different. Still, it throws off a bit of aPower Rangersvibe that I wasn’t expecting. The costume is also a completely different color than early concept art suggested – the color scheme here is black and green, whereas theconcept artlast seen at SDCC highlighted a blue and red costume. The traditionalCaptain Marvelcostume is red and blue and gold, which might indicate this is an early prototype costume that Larson’s character Carol Danvers wears before she adopts her final look. The same thing happened with the firstIron Manfilm, where Tony Stark wasn’t sporting his traditional Iron Man suit until the third act.
Another possibility: in the comics, the original Captain Marvel before Danvers wore a green suit, so this could likely be a tribute to that.Jude Lawwas recently cast as the original Captain Marvel – as character named Dr. Walter Lawson, one of Carol Danvers' co-workers in the comics who was actually secretly a Kree agent named Mar-Vell assuming Lawson’s identity. Mar-Vell was the original Captain Marvel who passed his superpower-laced DNA onto Carol, helping her become a superhero. Here’s a visual reference of that original green suit.
Someone has already used their Photoshop skills to change the costume to more traditional colors, and I have to admit: it looks a lot better.
Larson, meanwhile, is all-in on this role. The actress recently posted a photo of herself in Air Force gear with the caption “Learning how to fly.”
