WhenAvengers: Endgamedebuted, many fans were shocked to see Brie Larson’s new haircut as Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel had a much shorter look than when we’d just seen her months before in the Marvel superhero’s first standalone adventure. That shorn hairdo wasn’t the only choice, though, as popular MCU concept artist Andy Park is showing off in some just revealed images on Instagram, which you can check out below.
Carol Danvers had a 90s haircut inCaptain Marvel, with the storyline set in that decade. She got an updated look for the big time jump between movies. About deciding upon a fresh look for Brie Larson’s popular character inAvengers: Endgame, Park went through quite a few designs. And apparently we’re not getting to see them all here. He explains.
“Afterdesigning Captain Marvel’s costumeforAvengers: Endgame, I was asked to explore her hairstyle. I did more than these but here are a bunch I came up with. What do you pick? These were fun!”
Shortly after sharing his alternatehairstyles for Brie Larson’s Carol DanversinAvengers: Endgame, Park also shared a look at some of the alternate helmet choices.
What is interesting here is that image number four was actually picked by directors Joe and Anthony Russo to be the helmet used inAvengers: Endgame. But things change, and that particularCaptain Marvel helmetnever actually made it on screen. It did, however, make its way into a video game. Andy Park explains.
“Ok, I enjoyed seeing everyone’s choices for their pick of her hairstyle. No majority it seems. Now, onto helmets! After designing Captain Marvel’s costume forAvengers: EndgameI also got to explore what her new helmet would look like. @therussobrothers approved the blue helmet option 4. But as it happens at times, it never made it to film. I wish we got to see it. But I saw that it made it into a video game? Maybe for her next film perhaps?”
It’s quite possible that we could see any of these fierce new hairdos or helmets when Brie Larson returns as Carol Danvers inCaptain Marvel 2. We’ll have to wait until after Marvel Phase 4 to see her return though, asCaptain Marvel 2is planned for Marvel Phase 5. Though it is very possible that Carol Danvers could pop up in any given MCU movie between now and then.
Carol Danvers already has some strong ties to Scarlet Witch, and could appear on the upcomingWandaVisionDisney+ series, or make her return inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, both of which are arriving as part of Marvel Phase 4. AndSpider-Man: Far From Homeset up a strongCaptain Marvelconnection with its end credit sequence, so it’s possible she could arrive to help Peter Parker out forSpider-Man 3. For now, we’ll just have to enjoy this cool concept art fromAndy Park Art on Instagram.
