Captain Marvel's first trailer hit the internet in a blaze of energy Tuesday morning, and fans have quickly clung to one particular moment.
Brie Larson's character stands before an older woman on a train, leering at her like she's something villainous. The older woman just smiles up at her, seemingly happy as can be. And then Captain Marvel socks her straight in the jaw with a punch.
Now to be fair, just before the scene the trailer plays Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) voice saying "We have no idea what threats are out there," before the suprising attack, and many fans are reacting in wonder themselves.
Yeah March can’t come soon enough so the film can explain this 😅 #CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/3phm5CV9JH

All I can think about is when #CaptainMarvel punches that old woman in the face and how much faith that trailer has in its fans to know "she's right to do this" and I love everything about that.

And seeing that it has been previously revealed that Captain Marvel will be facing the shape-changing Skrulls, this post points that out.
Well looks like we get to see the skrull race in the movie, You guys didn't really think the old lady was a human did you? lol #CaptainMarvel

Other fans are celebrating the look of Captain Marvel (whose human alter-ego is Carol Danvers) and the throwback '90s world she will be in.
