Costume Spotlight: Captain Marvel

Despite having a release date less than a year away, Marvel has been surprisingly tight-lipped on the upcoming Captain Marvel film (March 2019). Many of the cast members are known and, for the most part, we even know who they're playing, we know it's set in the 90s, and that's about it. Even the promotional photos are just like actors in director's chairs, not costume reveals or anything like that. So it was big news in January when someone managed to get pictures of Brie Larson on set in costume...but it wasn't the costume people were expecting.

As you might guess, fans were not happy. Even after it was explained that this costume is probably not something she wears the whole movie and is a combination of her current one and the Kree Centurion uniform that the original Captain Marvel wore at first, they weren't having it.

Regardless, that was only the first time we saw it. Marvel is currently in the middle of an event called Infinity Wars, and leading up to it was a series of one shots called Infinity Countdown that featured the various holders of the Infinity Stones using them (there was some more lead-up with the characters actually finding the stones, but that's not important). Captain Marvel has the Reality Stone, so in Infinity Countdown: Captain Marvel #1 (May 2018), the Reality Stone shows her Captain Marvels from alternate realities.

Some of them are her, some of them are other Captain Marvels such as Mar-Vell or Spectrum, and others still are characters related to Captain Marvel in some way, such as Rogue. But the important one is in the top right corner.

Of course, this isn't really the MCU Captain Marvel. She doesn't own the Reality Stone. But some version of her (Earth-1999998, maybe?), or at least someone with her same costume, does.

UPDATE (08/05/2021): The Earth-616 version of Captain Marvel uses a version of this suit in Avengers #47 (August 2021).
