Captain Marvel, based on the comic-book series first published in 1967, which introduces Marvel’s first female-franchise stand-alone title character, is available on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD starting today. The film, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, takes place in the 1990s and follows Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) as she eventually becomes Captain Marvel.
At the beginning, Danvers, who goes by the name Vers, has been learning to control her powers and training as a member of the Kree military team known as Starforce, under the command of Yon-Rogg (Jude Law). When a rescue mission goes awry, she finds herself back on earth, and realizes she might have been there before.
While trying to find answers to her past, as well as stop the Skrulls, the shape-shifting alien race who followed her to earth, she runs into Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). The two of them must work together to stop the alien threat and protect planet Earth.
