Will 'Captain Marvel' be for Marvel Cinematic Universe what 'Wonder Woman' was for DC?

Both women superheroes fight for the same cause — to end the war but in different universes and technically speaking the two of them are also equipped differently
PUBLISHED MAR 5, 2019

'Captain Marvel', the first female superhero standalone movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to premiere worldwide on March 8. Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers will be portrayed by Brie Larson and the film is expected to be the launchpad for the next phase of MCU movies after 'Avengers: Endgame'. In the movie, Carol Danvers, who received her training from the Kree military force and is a member of Starforce, returns to Earth with questions about her past and her identity, all the while getting flashes of herself as a US Air Force pilot. Carol's DNA is infused with that of a Kree during an accident and that is what gives her the superpowers she wields in the movie.
