The latest trailer for Captain Marvel has dropped,
and it packs a whole lot of punch!
The second teaser for the film revealed a lot more about the film’s plot, and contains
a lot of nice little details that are pulled right from the comics, too!
So today, we’re going to be breaking those down with our list of the Easter Eggs you
missed in the Captain Marvel Teaser Trailer!
Be warned, some of these may be spoilers for the film if some of the speculation is correct,
so heads up for that, friends!
4 Annette Bening Here we have an Easter Egg in the trailer
that’s more so spawned by the voice over dialogue, and could give away a major piece
of the plot concerning how Carol ended up believing that she was fully Kree.
Annette Bening finally made an appearance in this trailer; the award winning actress
was rumoured to be playing Carol’s mother in the film, but clearly that is not the case.
Instead, she’s a Kree.
So who on Earth, or rather, on Hala, is she playing?
The popular guess is that she’s actually the Supreme Intelligence, the sentient intelligence
created by the Kree race long ago that helped them create their version of a Cosmic Cube.
It’s composed of the brains of the greatest Kree minds, from generals to philosophers
to scientists and other thinkers, assimilated upon their death into this super computer
entity.
We already saw how Marvel Studios made an entity like Ego appear to be much more human,
so it wouldn’t be completely out of the ordinary if the Supreme Intelligence, who
is traditionally in charge of the Star Force in the comics, and has been rather deceptive
in its motives in the past, could possibly take a much more Human or pink skinned Kree
form.
It’s a way to humanize their presence, just like Kurt Russell’s Ego was much more humanized
in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the Supreme Intelligence is the one pulling all of the
strings on Hala, and is the one who has gotten Jude Law’s character to potentially carry
out the memory wipe on Carol that made her forget her Earth life, if that theory is true,
that is.
3 The Costume The Carol Danvers controversial helmet makes
another appearance in this trailer!
And so does her mohawk.
So, for context, on Comic writer Kelly sue DeConnick’s first run on Captain Marvel’s
solo comic in 2016, which revitalized the character as a feminist icon and very much
influenced her portrayal in the film, Carol had a mohawk, and a helmet.
A lot of fans did NOT dig this look for the hero.
While the mohawk wasn’t as bit of an issue, after DeConnick finished her run, the helmet
was scrapped.
This helmet makes an appearance in the film as part of Carol’s Starforce uniform.
The mohawk also makes an appearance in her later Captain Marvel outfit as she flies through
space, except in much more fiery way, and without the helmet, much to the relief of
some fans.
2 Quinjet Prototype There’s a comedic moment between Carol and
Fury where the two sit in the cockpit of a ship, and Fury asks her if she “knows how
to fly this thing.”
When Carol clearly shows that she can, we see a shot of a ship soaring out of a hidden
entrance way, tucked into some rocky hills.
This ship looks a whole lot like a prototype for the Quinjet, the much sleeker ship that
SHIELD’s STRIKE and Avengers use as transportation.
1 A very good boy The trailer ends off with an adorable moment
between Nick Fury and an orange kitty cat.
Fury can’t help himself; he starts petting the little guy, until Carol gets his attention.
During this wonderful interaction, Fury lifts up the cat’s nametag, and you can make out
that it reads Goose.
This orange cat is actually from the comics, except his name isn’t Goose; it’s Chewie.
Chewie is Carol’s pet, who is initially believed to be a normal domesticated cat.
When Carol takes Chewie to explore the universe, Rocket Raccoon identifies him as a Flerken,
a dangerous alien species that look a whole lot like Earth cats.
Flerkens lay eggs, and have pocket dimensions in their bodies that allow them to store a
large amount of things, including their eggs, or even tentacles and fanged mouths, as Chewie
did in the comics.
It seems that filmmakers might be running with more of a Top Gun theme with Chewie,
giving the cat this different name as a way to show that part of Carol’s past is still
with her, specifically her days as a pilot, even if its just sub consciously.
Considering Carol had named Chewie after Chewbacca from Star Wars, it makes sense that his name
was altered (cause heaven forbid the fan theories that would arise from that connection).
Chewie, or rather, Goose, also makes an appearance as an Easter Egg on the Captain Marvel poster,
with his butt and tail sticking out right at it’s edge.
There we have it friends!
