Her solo film boasts a who’s who of Hollywood talent and a deeply nostalgic 1990s setting, leading us to believe it has all the makings of a special, ground-breaking expansion of the MCU, and as it continues to head through production, we’re starting to get more and more updates, like this slight alteration to the movie’s official logo, which simply adds a planet behind the text. It’s not much, but it does give it more of a cosmic feel, don’t you think?
On the casting front, co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have assembled a stellar line-up, including Samuel L.

Captain Marvel takes flight on March 8th, 2019 – three months before the grand release of Avengers 4. And if you’re wondering where Carol Danvers has been this entire time, we have a few theories of our own…
