There is fear in Hollywood. 'capitan Marvel', one of the most anticipated films of the year arrives next week to the American billboard and the industry expects it as a manna from heaven due to the poor collection results during the first two months of 2019. The US box office accumulated about 1,400 million dollars until February 25, 27.7 percent less than in the same period of 2018, and the biggest premiere so far came
from the hands of the animated film 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World' ('How to train your dragon, 3?'), With 55.5 million.
The situation will surely change with the debut of 'Captain Marvel', Marvel's first film starring a woman (Brie Larson), which could amass around 120 million dollars on arrival in theaters. That mark would surpass that registered by "Wonder Woman" (2017), the huge success of the rival studio Warner Bros., which began its journey with 103 million. The film also opens this Friday in Spain.
The film focuses on the figure of the Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, a woman who will be in the middle of a battle between two alien races and who will obtain a series of powers that will make her one of the most powerful characters - perhaps, the one that most of the Marvel Universe. Jonathan Schwartz, one of the architects of the Marvel Universe and executive producer of the film, said that the goal of the creators was that the protagonist was a "really inspiring" character.
"And not in the sense that it was perfect, but in the sense that it has flaws," Schwarz said in a visit to the shooting of the work, which was attended by a small group of media. "The film starts with Captain Marvel in outer space and already has its superpowers," explained the producer. "There comes a time where they send her on a mission to an alien planet to face the Skrulls - an alien race - but she is captured and ends up on Earth, crashing into the roof of a Blockbuster store ... Because they are the 90! ", He added with a laugh.
"And there begins his relationship with a young Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), still without an eye patch, they must face the Skrulls on Earth and, at the same time, know Carol's past," Schwarz said. This is the number 21 film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed by Anna Boden (first woman also at the controls of a work of the saga) and Ryan Fleck, with a story that takes place in the 1990s and that serves as prequel to all previous Marvel tapes.
"All Marvel titles originate paying attention to the main character," said the producer. "And the films of Anna and Ryan ('Half Nelson', 'Mississippi Grind') examine their characters thoroughly, they get the best out of the actors, and now they have put their stamp on the action and have a wonderful instinct." , he added. The film features in its cast with Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Gemma Chan and Annette Bening, among others.
The character of Captain Marvel was introduced in the saga of 'The Avengers' (The Avengers) at the end of 'Infinity War', when Nick Fury claims the presence of the superheroine after the evil Thanos annihilates half of the population of the earth. Schwarz was asked if "Captain Marvel" will explain where the superheroine has remained during all this time of suffering for the Avengers. And his response was: "I think so." "We'll understand throughout these films why Fury makes those decisions, he's a mysterious guy and he always has his own reasons but I hope we can clarify some of that for the public," he said.
The final chapter of that franchise, 'Avengers: Endgame', will arrive on April 26.
