In less than two months, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) will officially introduce herself to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Empire Magazine's upcoming January 24th issue will put a spotlight on the MCU's latest adventure. Before the issue hits newstands, Empire have released two new images from CAPTAIN MARVEL, one of which features Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), a fearsome Skrull leader, and another of Jude Law's mysterious Starforce leader in action alongside Bron-Char (Rune Temte). You can also get a look at the cover of Empire's CAPTAIN MARVEL-centric issue as well.

CAPTAIN MARVEL directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck spoke with Fandango about the film earlier this month, including commenting on what sort of vibe it will have compared to the other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. "We approached this movie as being, at the heart of it, this mystery of self-identity for Captain Marvel. It has a lot of playfulness in it, and that kind of buddy-cop vibe that Captain Marvel has with the Nick Fury character was really an important touchstone for us," Boden said, with Fleck adding, "Yeah. Like the '80s and '90s buddy-cop movies, like 48 Hrs. or Lethal Weapon. We have some of that. Those movies, even the serious ones, they have a really terrific sense of humor, and we wanted to maintain that as well." Boden also spoke about what audiences will find the most surprising about this particular take on Captain Marvel.
I think one of the really fun things about this movie, because it is an origin story, is that it's not your traditional origin story. What's going to be fun and surprising for an audience is going to be uncovering the mystery of how this particular superhero got her powers and became who she is, along with [being] on a journey with this character. It was a really fun way to make a movie, a really fun way to imagine an origin story, because it has this nontraditional structure. I think it's going to be a fun ride for people.
CAPTAIN MARVEL will hit theaters on March 8, 2019.
