Brie Larson as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel
Goose The Cat formerly known as Chewie- a Flerken
Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Fury pre-eyepatch
Coulson Lives! Good to have you back in the MCU Clark Gregg!
Jude Law as Mar-Vell
Annette Bening in an unknown role- I think she may be the Supreme Intelligence– ruler of the Kree.
Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva part of Starforce
Ben Mendelsohn is Talos a Skrull
Djimon Hounsou is Korath, a Kree warrior who doesn’t know Peter Quill by the name Star Lord and the wingman of Ronan the Accuser.
Lashana Lynch is Maria Rambeau, Air Force Pilot and friend of Carol Danvers.
I was surprised to see Ronan left out, but maybe it’s to keep his look a secret. We have yet to see him facing the camera in any of the trailers. His outfit seems similar to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 but perhaps his face/helmet,chest piece is slightly different.
Captain Marvel follows the story of Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Our only hope is Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel and her incredible abilities. I cannot wait to see the Kree/Skrull war leap off the comic book pages and onto the big screen.

I’ve partnered with Vacasa for the purpose of this post. All opinions are my own.
Vacation in Style With Vacasa Rentals
What is Vacasa?
Vacasa is a modern vacation rental company that is there to help owners list their homes and guests to find the perfect place to spend their vacations. Vacasa manages more than 10,600 vacation rentals across 23 U.S. states and 16 countries!
Whether you are a family of 4 or planning for hosting 16, Vacasa can help you find the perfect home for your vacation getaway.
How does Vacasa work?
Go to Vacasa’s Website and begin your search for a rental property. Search by State, City, and even Country. You can also easily narrow your results based on your dates of travel, occupancy, rooms, price range, and more.
Or if you have a home that you think would make a great Vacasa, you can sign up to list your home.
Vacasa takes the stress out of finding a place to stay when you travel. They even give you insider info about the area, discounts to local attractions, and a dedicated concierge contact who is there to answer any questions you may have. Our contact Ruth was amazing. She was readily available and helped get my husband’s brand new jacket returned to us. Because, of course, he left it at the house. *face palm*
Welcome Home
Our Vacasa Rentals South Carolina home was stunning. We spent 5 days in a luxurious oceanfront home complete with a private boardwalk to the beach. The house features screened in porches for each bedroom, a gourmet kitchen, massive deck with views of the ocean, walls of windows for lots of natural light, a grill, garage parking, and that master shower is literally my dream shower. I show it off in the video below.
Early morning light coming into the master bedroom.
It was like being in The Secret Garden, but you know oceanside.
Sit Back and Relax
One thing I noticed immediately was how everyone found their spot to relax.
Staying in a home allowed us all to bring things with us from home that normally we leave behind. Books, cars, favorite foods, and board games for some friendly competitions.
Even our family tradition of Friday night movie nights made it with us to South Carolina. It truly felt like we were home and that is something that made this trip special.
Saving Money
I also noticed how much money we saved on our food budget. When you have a kick butt kitchen at your disposal you use it. As much as I like eating out, I really like saving money. And lets face it, nothing beats a home cooked meal.
My husband grilled steaks, the kids had their lunches with a view, and I even made the Best Honey BBQ Chicken Wings. I seriously miss that kitchen.
We also spent a lot of time down by the ocean. When your house has its own private entrance it’s a must right?
Exploring Charleston
We couldn’t stay on Kiawah Island, without visiting Charleston. I have always wanted to explore the city, see Rainbow Road, and eat all the delicious things. We ended up hanging out in Charleston twice!
Vacasa had a special section in the My Trip page that listed things to do and special discounts for the area. We used their code to save money on our visit to the South Carolina Aquarium. It was so much fun! From posing with scuba divers to petting sharks, yes sharks, it was an experience we won’t forget.
Rainbow Road is just as colorful and beautiful as I thought it would be.
And the food. Y’all. If you ever visit Charleston, Hyman’s Seafood is a MUST. Those hushpuppies are the best I have ever eaten in my life. In fact they maybe the reason we went back to Charleston.
Vacasa Home Tour & South Carolina Adventures
Come see our Vacasa Rentals South Carolina home and some of the shenanigans that ensued during our trip!
If you’re planning a trip to Charleston look no further than Vacasa Rentals. Actually, if you’re headed anywhere awesome, Vacasa is probably there waiting for you. Find them in Hawaii, Italy, France, and more! Get your vacation plans started by looking at their gorgeous properties today.
Do you plan on traveling as a family soon? Check out Vacasa for all your vacation rental needs!
Captain Marvel Special Look
Avengers Initiative?
Interesting enough, the question “you think you can find others?” followed by Fury’s response “She’s just the beginning.” could hint at where his idea for the Avengers Initiative began. Could this be a minor origin story for our favorite team of heroes? I don’t know but I like to think it could be.
Captain Marvel follows the story of Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Our only hope is Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel and her incredible abilities. I cannot wait to see the Kree/Skrull war leap off the comic book pages and onto the big screen.

Whew! 2019 is going to jammed pack with some awesome films. You know I’m already over here freaking out about Avengers Endgame, Star Wars Episode 9, and The Lion King lol.
Which one are you looking forward to the most?
Carol Danvers has a rich comic past and all are worth a read. But in an effort to narrow it down for you, these are my picks for the 7 comics to read before Captain Marvel. That way when the action starts you know who all the players are, the stakes, and just how much of a bad *ss Carol can be.

7 Comics to Read Before Captain Marvel
A little background on our fearless female. Carol Danvers was originally an officer in the Air Force and partner of Mar-Vell when she debuted in 1968. She became the original Ms. Marvel in 1977 after her DNA was fused with Mar-Vell’s during an explosion, giving her superhuman powers. She was also known as Binary and Warbird prior to taking the Captain Marvel mantle in 2012.
1. Captain Marvel Vol. 1: In Pursuit of Flight
Her run as Ms. Marvel is definitely worth a read, but if you want to skip ahead to Carol as Captain Marvel, the best place to start is with Captain Marvel Vol. 1: In Pursuit of Flight. This series, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Dexter Soy gave Carol her new purpose as a hero and a kick butt new costume.
DeConnick embraces Carol’s past while taking the character to new heights. This is the series were she finally takes on the mantle of Captain Marvel and steps out as an even more powerful hero than she was before.
Pick Up Captain Marvel Vol. 1: In Pursuit of Flight on Amazon
2. Captain Marvel Vol. 1: Higher, Further, Faster
Sounds familiar? Higher, Further, Faster, has been used in the promotional material of the film. Captain Marvel Vol. 1: Higher, Further, Faster is the quintessential Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel comic. It’s the one most people are familiar with and where the movie itself is drawing a lot of it’s inspiration for the MCU version of Danvers.
This is also the comic that has Rocket and Carol meeting. Which is what I’m hoping to see in the film. Especially the panel with Goose (Chewie in the comics), Rocket, and Carol.
Buy Captain Marvel Vol. 1: Higher, Further, Faster on Amazon
3. Captain Marvel Vol. 2: Stay Fly
Captain Marvel Vol. 2: Stay Fly, aside from being a great read also shows that Chewie is a Flerken and not just a normal house cat. Rocket was right. And maybe this is how Nick Fury loses his eye in the MCU…
Stay Fly is more lighthearted than the previous Higher, Further, Faster edition but that is one thing I have always loved about Marvel, their sense of humor. And who doesn’t want to have some Flerken adventures?
Get Captain Marvel Vol. 2: Stay Fly on Amazon
4. Captain Marvel Vol. 3: Alis Volat Propriis
Captain Marvel Vol. 3: Alis Volat Propriis sees Carol facing off against The Haffensye Consortium and marks the end of this series of Captain Marvel. I would rank this a little higher than Stay Fly on my list of favorites but don’t read this before reading Vol. 1 & 2 or it will be confusing.
Buy Captain Marvel Vol. 3: Alis Volat Propriis on Amazon
5. Captain Marvel: Rise of Alpha Flight
Captain Marvel: Rise of Alpha Flight is a newer series helmed by the creative team of Marvel TV’s Agent Carter. These stories follow Carol has she faces an unknown enemy that she can’t just punch. She is also learning how to be a diplomat while still being a solider.
With the original Avengers exits on the horizon in the MCU, this could be her future- taking the place of Steve Rogers as the leader and voice of reason within the Avengers.
Buy Captain Marvel: Rise of Alpha Flight on Amazon
6. Kree-Skrull War
We know that Captain Marvel is going to heavily feature the Kree-Skrull War, Carol even declares she’s not going to help them fight this war but end it. The original war occurred in The Avengers #89-#97 in 1976.
The Kree, remember those guys from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, are in an all out war with their enemies the Skrulls. The issue is, Earth happens to be caught in the middle of this battle. The key to the Avengers victory in the comics is with the Kree expatriate Captain Mar-Vell.
Jude Law has been confirmed to be Mar-Vell and we know there is a giant explosion in the film that Carol is caught up in. She is then seen leaking blood that’s not exactly human. The key to end this war is none other than Carol herself. I cannot wait!
Get Avengers: Kree/Skrull War on Amazon
7. Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion is a 2008 Marvel Comics event written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Leinil Yu. It revealed that the Skrulls had infiltrated Earth, for what seems like forever, kidnapping and replacing heroes. Remember the old lady on the bus Carol fights in the trailer? Yeah she is a Skrull. They can look like anyone.
The Super-Skrulls are only defeated after Mr. Fantastic (of course) builds a device that can detect aliens. It seems in the film, Captain Marvel can also detect aliens. Which is good since Marvel Studios doesn’t have its Fantastic Four… yet.
For a while now, there have been rumors that Secret Invasion will be introduced in Captain Marvel and/or Avengers Endgame. Some of us, myself included, would love to see it play out in the next phase of the MCU.
The synopsis of Captain Marvel is: “Before long, Carol finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. And she’s got a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls — the notorious Marvel baddies made all the more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader Talos, who spearheads a Skrull invasion of Earth.” So it could definitely happen.
Bonus: 8. Ms. Marvel Vol. 1
