Captain Marvel
When you think of Captain Marvel, you generally tend to think of the DC Comics superhero who is powered by the wizard Shazam (and who has more recently become known as Shazam himself). However, there are, in fact, a number of Marvel characters who go by that name – one of whom is Carol Danvers.
The character – who is more famously known as Ms. Marvel – will get her own movie in 2019 and will become the first female character the get a solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The reason behind a lack of female superhero movies is obviously because movie studios see the idea as a risk – there’s a distinct lack of them throughout history and the ones that have been made have tended to flop terribly – and Marvel will be hoping that Warner Brothers’ Wonder Woman sets the tone nicely and proves they can be a success in time for the release of Captain Marvel.
