‘Captain Marvel’ EP Compares Nick Fury’s Relationship With Carol To The Avengers

During an on-set interview with ComicBook.com, Captain Marvel executive producer Jonathan Schwartz discussed how Nick Fury’s relationship with Carol Danvers will be different than his relationship with The Avengers.

Captain Marvel will transport audiences back to the ’90 for a new adventure where Carol Danvers will open Nick Fury’s eyes to new possibilities, long before the future S.H.I.E.L.D. director assembled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to form the Avengers. Executive producer Jonathan Schwartz noted that because the film is set before Nick Fury crossed paths with The Avengers, he will be a little bit more open to new ideas when he meets Carol:

“I think it benefits in its uniqueness by having Carol be the first superhero he’s ever encountered or really heard of in his life. She sort of gets to be the window to him for this entire, bigger universe. So, he’s a little, a little less of the, I know everything there is to know, Nick Fury that we see in the later movies, and a little bit more, perhaps, open to new ideas.”

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.

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, 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.

Captain Marvel will be released in theaters on March 8, 2019.
