It’s been an exciting few days for fans ofCaptain Marvel, especially with our first look atBrie Larsonin costume. However, there was a pretty big difference to Carol Danvers' suit in the new pictures from the set. Gone are the iconic red, blue, and gold colors, which have been replaced with a green and silver color scheme. The green suit is actually Danvers' first suit, which is more than likely why it’s already shown up, but impatient fans have taken to Photoshop to make their own realties with the color of the suit.
Captain Marvelwill be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sfirst female-led superhero movieand expectations are certainly high, especially after the success of the DCEU’sWonder Womanover the summer. During San Diego Comic-Con, we were treated to the first images of the concept art forCaptain Marvel, which featured Brie Larson in the iconic red, blue, and goldCaptain Marvelsuit fighting in the Kree-Skrull War. The images were striking, and they’ve been committed to memory by fans and taken as the final word on the project.
In true super fandom fashion, a few fans went straight to Photoshop to make theCaptain Marvelsuit into the “correct” coloring scheme. One of the projects looks pretty good, almost like it’s real, which is kind of scary. Another amateur Photoshopper kind of butchered the suit, making the coloring too bright, but at least he/she can sleep better tonight knowing that they tookCarol Danversback to her iconic status. These fans have done a great job, but it seems a bit premature. We will more than likely get to see the suit promised in the concept art at some point during the course of the movie.
The greenCaptain Marvelsuit is originally from the comics when the suit belonged to the original Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell. After giving Carol Danvers her powers, he gave her his suit and she became Ms. Marvel. It wasn’t until after Mar-Vell died that Danvers took on the persona ofCaptain Marvel, donning the red, blue, and gold coloring of his last costume.Captain Americawas the one in the comics to urge Danvers to carry onMar-Vell’s legacy.
In otherCaptain Marvelnews, a new report suggests that tax credits are the reason that the production is set to film in California. A huge tax break of over $20 million to be exact. The movie will begin filming later this week in California and then take a break until March under the name of Warbird LLC. The tax break allows them to take 120 days off, which explains why the project has started without stuntmen and other cast and crew members.
While theCaptain Marvelsuper fans did excellent work coloring in Carol Danvers' suit,Marvelwill more than likely go with a less bright look, which was featured in the concept art. The concept art featured a darker vision than we had previously thought of when Brie Larson was first announced as the titular character, so it seems that Marvel will follow through with the concept art and keep it darker.
