Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel

Larson, who swept award season and won an Oscar for her unforgettable performance in Room, has signed on to play the lead role. She has starred in a whole host of films, and before she plays the Air Force pilot-turned superhero, you'll see her opposite Joan Cusack in Unicorn Store.

Jackson will reprise his role as the tough-talking Avengers recruiter, whom we last saw in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron.

The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them star will play the male lead opposite Larson. As Doctor Walter Lawson, he'll be a mentor-like figure as she comes into her powers.

Ben Mendelsohn as the Villain

His character might not have an official name, but we do know the Rogue One actor will appear as the film's big bad, the leader of the Skrulls.

DeWanda Wise

She's Gotta Have It's DeWanda Wise has been locked down for an unknown supporting role opposite Larson. Maybe she'll be a fellow pilot at the Air Force?

Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva

The Humans actress is the most recent addition to the cast. According to Deadline [2], she'll be playing Doctor Minerva (aka Minn-Erva), a Kree geneticist and spy.
