Here's what the cast of 'Captain Marvel' looks like in real life

• "Captain Marvel" is Marvel's first movie centered on a female superhero.
• Brie Larson plays the part-human, part-Kree hero.
• Much of the cast is unrecognizable in their alien roles. 

"Captain Marvel" is introducing Carol Danvers to the world.

Marvel's first superhero movie centered on a female hero is set in the '90s, before most of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have taken place.   

As a part-human, part-Kree hero, Larson looks generally like herself in the movie, but some of her castmates look unrecognizable as Kree or Skrulls, a type of shape-shifting alien. 

Even Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury, looks a little bit different because he's been de-aged by 25 years.

Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel.

As a human, Carol is an Air Force pilot. After an accident leaves Carol with superpowers, she becomes part Kree, an alien race, and becomes a member of a Kree military unit called Starforce. 

Larson doesn't look much different from her character, considering she's part-human, but she does have cool costumes in the movie.

Larson trained for nine months to get into superhero shape. 

Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury but before he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Because the movie takes place in the '90s, Fury is a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. employee and still has both of his eyes, instead of the eye patch he's later known for.
