Captain Marvel Cast & Character Guide
From MCU mainstays to promising newcomers to its Oscar-winning star, the Captain Marvel cast is full of great actors playing beloved comic book characters. Set in 1995, Captain Marvel revolves around a fighter pilot named Carol Danvers, who gains superpowers but loses her memories after being imbued with the cosmic energy of an Infinity Stone. When she returns to Earth in pursuit of shape-shifting Skrulls, Carol starts to piece together her backstory to figure out what happened to her. Along the way, Carol encounters exciting new characters like Talos and familiar MCU icons like Agent Phil Coulson.
With a worldwide gross of over $1 billion (via Box Office Mojo), Captain Marvel became one of the MCU’s highest-grossing solo movies. It also received positive reviews from critics to match its commercial success. A big part of what made Captain Marvel a resounding hit was the work of its star-studded cast, who committed wholeheartedly to playing their iconic comic book characters authentically. Some familiar faces from previous MCU movies had to be digitally de-aged to reflect Captain Marvel’s 1990s setting. The Captain Marvel cast brought this high-flying superhero adventure to life with gusto.
