Detailed Description of CAPTAIN MARVEL's Movie Costume Design
Some interesting details have surfaced regarding the design of the costume that Brie Larson will be wearing in the highly anticipated Captain Marvel movie. Marvel Studios recently showed off a bunch of cool stuff for some of the upcoming films to several press outlets at the Marvel Studios offices on the Disney Studio lot.
From what I've heard, the costume that Carol Danvers' will be wearing is inspired by the characters look from Kelly Sue DeConnick's 2012/13 comic run. Thanks to Nerdist, we have a detailed description of three pieces of concept art that they were shown. They say:
"The first two featured Brie Larson in her costume, which appears to draw heavy inspiration from her classic comics suit. Though the design kept Captain Marvel’s signature eight-pointed star emblem square on the chest, its look and feel were more akin to Ant Man’s suit than Iron Man’s. Like a form-fitting armor, her suit is less spandex and more military grade, covering her whole body. Her iconic sash is more of a utility belt, favoring function over form. In the concept art she stands tall, staring off into the distance, looking hopeful but tough."
When talking about the third piece of art that they saw, it showed Captain Marvel in battle with a villainous character described as "something in a giant metal suit with a helmet; the creature looked almost like the Kree sentries."
Captain Marvel's costume certainly sounds like it'll be cool. With all of the costumes that we've seen designed for the other characters throughout the course of these Marvel films, we know what the style is for the MCU costumes. So, it's not hard to imagine how the Captain Marvel design will look.
Marvel hasn't really gone wrong with any of their costume designs. For the most part, fans have liked what Marvel has done with these characters and I imagine that fans will like what the studio has done with Captain Marvel as well. We'll just have to wait and see!
Captain Marvel isn't set to be released until March 8th, 2019 so we've got a long way to go.
