Brie Larson’s ‘Captain Marvel’ Gets An Official Rotten Tomatoes Score

The review embargo for Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel has finally lifted and the film’s initial Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed.

According to the official Rotten Tomatoes Twitter page, Brie Larson’s first cinematic solo outing as Captain Marvel is sitting at 88% with 57 reviews. The highly-anticipated Marvel Studios film opens in theaters later this week and the score should change as more reviews are submitted to Rotten Tomatoes, so fans should keep an eye on the site for more updates.

Captain Marvel marks the big screen debut of Carol Danvers, played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Academy Award winner Brie Larson. In the comics, Danvers was a test pilot who gained super strength and the ability to fly after being caught in an explosion with a Kree device.

Not much is known about the plot of Captain Marvel. The film takes place in the ’90s and introduces the Skrulls to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie Larson is set to reprise the role of Carol Danvers in Avengers: Endgame, which opens in theaters just over a month after Captain Marvel.

Mississipi Grind helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing 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.
