Captain Marvel: The First Trailer Teases More Than Enough [WATCH]

Marvel Studios have unleashed the first trailer for the March 2019 movie, “Captain Marvel” and it appears to tease a lot more than expected. The less than three-minutes clip tells us that there are more to superheroes but in this, there is only one hero to stand for the rest.

Yes, the long-awaited first trailer for the MCU’s long-awaited Captain Marvel is finally here, and it’s full—nearly too full—with Clinton-era references and sight gags.

There’s the Blockbuster Video store that Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Oscar winner and all-around delight Brie Larson) crashes into in the trailer’s opening shot.

Then there’s the pager, and the shot of the Los Angeles bus terminal of yesteryear, and the not-quite-visible-but-we-know-it’s-there Nine Inch Nails shirt that Danvers wears. So many ’90s signifiers are crammed into the not-quite-two-minute trailer that you’d be forgiven for thinking Marvel’s plan to defeat the Skrulls was to pummel them with references.
