Sometimes that effort is too obvious, as it is with the film’s utterly unnecessary first 20 minutes: a spew of Trekkian world-building that introduces planet Hala, the Kree, the Supreme Intelligence, the evil Skrull (maybe take notes) and, only slightly less mystifying, Jude Law as a martial-arts master. That disconnect is too bad since ‘Captain Marvel’, co-scripted by ‘Mississippi Grind’ directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (plus an army of story writers), tries hard to floor you with its freshness. Even within the MCU itself, you can locate fiercer, more complex women (Elizabeth Olsen’s tortured Scarlet Witch comes to mind), and while ‘Room’ and ‘Short Term’ 12 star Brie Larson is certainly capable of expressing wire-taut uncertainty, she’s a bit stranded in the rubber suit, playing a role that gives her scant opportunity to be human. But you can’t help but wish the watershed moment arrived with a more richly imagined central character. ‘Captain Marvel’, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first female-led instalment, means a lot symbolically-especially to young girls who resonate with Gal Gadot’s confident portrayal of Wonder Woman. Representation matters, and it'll only strengthen the film industry in the future.Superheroes save the world on a regular basis, but their movies aren’t nearly as courageous: For every ingenious ‘Black Panther’ that departs from the billion-dollar formula, you get ten timid time-wasters.
Hopefully more Hollywood studios will take on Marvel's now gold standard to help advance the process of diversification. Following Carol Danvers' successful origin story, along with Black Panther 's mega-successful theater run last year, Marvel's president Kevin Feige has stated that diversity both in front of and behind the camera will be its gold standard moving forward. By allowing women to direct these films as well, it opens up the door for other women who want to work behind the camera, allowing for much-needed diversity amongst directors. Record-breaking numbers prove to studios that audiences long to see female-led films and actually enjoy seeing them as well, as seen from glowing critical reviews. While the numbers obviously show that audiences want to see these movies, it's also been proven that female-led films out-earn their male counterparts at the box office, which encourages studios to make more female-led and female-directed films in the future.Ĭaptain Marvel's success says a lot about the direction in which the industry is heading. Now Captain Marvel's worldwide box office numbers have skyrocketed past Wonder Woman's, making for major milestones domestically and internationally for both women as female directors in the industry. Previously, Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman held the record for biggest opening weekend of any film from a female director domestically and, at the time, worldwide. These numbers also bode well for one of the film's directors, Anna Boden. Nonetheless, it's an exciting accomplishment for a female-led and female-directed film. With international box office numbers taken out of the equation, The Dark Knight Rises takes the lead domestically with $448 million, whereas Captain Marvel remains at $400 million domestically. This now makes Captain Marvel the 9th highest-grossing superhero film ever and the 25th highest-grossing film of all time.

The movie then went on to make over $1 billion at the box office in its first month of release, setting the record for the highest-grossing female superhero movie of all time. During the film's opening weekend, it grossed $456 million globally, making for the biggest opening weekend for a female-led film. Marvel's first female-led solo superhero film has already gone higher, further, faster in theaters by breaking box office records and shattering glass ceilings along the way. The film was met with praise from critics and audiences alike, and Captain Marvel is now gearing up for a fight alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the upcoming superhero epic Avengers: Endgame. The film stars Brie Larson as a Kree warrior named Vers who struggles to remember her previous life on Planet C-53 (otherwise known as Earth) while stuck in an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls.
It's official, Captain Marvel has now grossed more at the worldwide box office than every Batman film.
