Marvel’s most powerful superhero has finally arrived on the big screen, leaving absolutely no doubt that Carol Danvers will go on to play a vital role in upcoming MCU storylines.
And like any action-packed Marvel fest, there were plenty of references onscreen that were easy to miss amid all the photon blasts and space battles. From characters with secret futures to sneaky wardrobe changes to Easter eggs, here are all of the small details you missed in Captain Marvel. Spoilers ahead!
One of the film’s biggest moments came when Carol Danvers finally discovered her true colors, both figuratively and literally. Upon deciding to ditch the Kree and help the Skrull refugees, Carol figures she needs a new look to match her new mission. Fortunately, the Kree suit-makers programmed a Sims wardrobe module into her handy dandy wrist gadget, allowing her to switch up her suit’s design right then and there.
She flashes through all the colors of the rainbow before settling on the iconic blue-red-and yellow look that fans of the comics couldn’t help but cheer for. But right before her final colors, her suit rests for a moment on a mild green-and-white color scheme that might be familiar to die-hard comics readers.
In Captain Marvel’s first comics appearance as Mar-Vell in Marvel Super-Heroes #12, the Kree hero wears a suit with the same colors. Even if it was only on-screen for a few seconds, it was a clever nod to the superhero’s origins and more than a little fitting that it appeared as a precursor to her current suit design. Keep watching the video to see more small details you missed in Captain Marvel!
