It's been a long time coming, but we're finally getting the first female-led superhero movie in the MCU!
Taking place in the 90s, Captain Marvel follows Carol Danvers, a former U.S. Air Force pilot, as she turns into one of the galaxy's mightiest heroes and joins Starforce, an elite Kree alien military team, before returning with questions about her past and identity when Earth is caught in the center of a galactic conflict.
With the release date fast approaching and so many burning questions needing answers, fans will no doubt be super pumped to see why Nick Fury's trump card is so important in the fight against Thanos after what transpired during Avengers: Infinity War.
Now that social media reactions are beginning to roll in, let's find out what the critics have to say about one of the biggest releases of the year:
#CaptainMarvel is a welcome addition to the #MCU. The movie is really well done with some great moments. #benmendelsohn steals almost every scene he's in. @brielarson literally shines in the role. So ready for #AvengersEndGame pic.twitter.com/GET0socRjl

#CaptainMarvel is a great origin story. Brie’s buddy cop chemistry with @SamuelLJackson is so much fun and her relationship with Lashana Lynch is the real heart of it. Ben Mendelsohn and the cat both steal the show.

#CaptainMarvel has a great ‘90s sci-fi vibe w/ a tone unlike any other Marvel movie, really. It’s retro & trippy, mysterious & dorky. It’s funny in surprising places & badass in all the right places. It remains entertaining because it’s always changing. It’s got the right stuff pic.twitter.com/o7AvqYY63x

Captain Marvel is a blast! Has some cool surprises that I definitely didn't see coming, and the mystery/origin it weaves is engaging and fun. Brie Larson is awesome, and makes a fantastic first step into the MCU #CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/oqrRtgDQrp

The future of the MCU gets even brighter adding #CaptainMarvel to the mix. Really fell for @brielarson’s sass, strength & energy in the role. Same with @LashanaLynch too! Ben Mendelsohn is A+ casting as Talos. And yes, Goose is a scene stealer. 2nd viewing can’t come soon enough.
