Just recently, the actress was also reportedly spotted walking around the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, probably to familiarize herself with the affairs inside the military. She was also given a crash-course on the inner workings of the Air Force to help her get into character.
Fans of Captain Marvel know that her alter ego, Carol Danvers, was originally a pilot who rose through the ranks of the Air Force when NASA appointed her as the head of security. Eventually, a fatal accident caused her DNA to get mixed up with that of an alien, resulting in her being Captain Marvel. In the original comics, Captain Marvel is known for her unparalleled strength, precognitive "seventh sense," endurance and flight, flying six times faster than the speed of light.
"Captain Marvel" will open in theaters on March 8, 2019.
