Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Officially Certified Fresh On Rotten Tomatoes

Captain Marvel starring Brie Larson is officially certified fresh on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Mere hours after the review embargo lifted earlier this morning, Marvel Studios’ first female-led superhero film Captain Marvel was officially certified fresh at 87% with a total of 93 reviews from critics, however, it currently sits at 84% at the time of the writing of this article.

Brie Larson stars in Marvel’s first-ever female-led superhero film which serves as an origin story for Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel: a test pilot in the comics who gained super strength and the ability to fly after being caught in an explosion with a Kree device. It also features the debut of The Skrulls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an advanced shapeshifting alien race known for the Kree-Skrull War in the comics.

The film has been praised for its action, visual effects, humor and for the origin of the film’s hero itself. You can check out our review for the film here.

Mississipi Grind helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have directed from a script written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve. Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in the 1990s, Marvel Studios’ “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that follows the journey of Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes. While a galactic war between two alien races reaches Earth, Danvers finds herself and a small cadre of allies at the center of the maelstrom.

Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg and Jude Law. The film is slated to hit theaters on March 8, 2019.

Following her debut in her titular standalone film, Brie Larson will return to face Thanos in April when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26, 2019, however, it remains unclear as to whether or not Samuel L Jackson will appear.

Plot details are still under wraps but the Avengers are expected to attempt to undo Thanos’ snap which gave way to the decimation of half of the Universe after the heroes failed to stop the Mad Titan from collecting all six Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War. The highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War follow-up will conclude the previous 22 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before Marvel kicks off Phase 4 with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.
