Set in the 1990s, this is Marvel’s first female-led superhero film. United States Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is on a mission with her superior (Annette Bening) when they are attacked in mid-air. The plane is shot down, but afterwards, Carol has no memory of what happened in her life.

All she knows is that she's a member of an intergalactic elite Kree military team called Starforce, and has been trained by their leader, Yon-Rogg (Jude Law). They are constantly on the alert for Skrulls, an alien race that can shapeshift. On a mission, they're outnumbered by Skrulls, and Carol is separated from her team. She winds up on Earth, where she meets Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who has no idea what he's about to experience.
