Despite the fact that Marvel Studios has released a trailer for Captain Marvel, much of the movie remains shrouded in secrecy. Given Kevin Feige's track record for keeping secrets, that will remain the case right up until next March but during a recent interview, he confirmed that Carol Danvers' big screen debut is heavily inspired by the work of writer Kelly Sue DeConnick.
"The history of Captain Marvel and is rather confusing," the Marvel Studios President admitted. "But the one we're doing is based on Carol Danvers and in particular the Kelly Sue DeConnick run, which has only been around the last few years."
Given how long DeConnick spent working on the character, it's impossible to say which, if any, storylines the Captain Marvel movie might be based on but we've already seen a number of elements from her run (the costume and Carol's cat, for example) make it into the upcoming release.

The mohawk and the mask; it's a good time to be a comic book fan! Once upon a time, it would have been hard to imagine this making it to the big screen but Marvel can make anything work it seems.
