Captain Marvel. 2019. USA. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. With Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn. DCP. 123 min.
Jackson has played S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury across 11 films in the ever-popular Marvel Cinematic Universe, and in addition to wholly redefining the character (first introduced in comic books in 1963) and adding significant dramatic weight to the films, the role has introduced Jackson to a new generation of fans. Captain Marvel finds a younger Fury, sans his signature eye patch, encountering his very first superhero, Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), in 1995.
