<Li> Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel : An ex-U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and member of an elite Kree military team called Starforce , whose DNA was fused with that of a Kree during an accident , which imbued her with superhuman strength , energy projection , and flight . Larson described Danvers as a `` believer in truth and justice '' and a `` bridge between Earth and space . She 's fighting between the flaws that are within her and all this good that she wants to try and spread and make the world a better place . '' Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige stated that Larson was cast because she has the ability to balance the character 's vast powers with her humanity and relatable flaws . Larson called Danvers aggressive , quick tempered , and invasive , but said while those characteristics can be great in battle , they are also character flaws . Speaking more to Danvers ' flaws and her Kree and human halves `` warring against each other '' , Larson noted that her Kree half is `` unemotional ... an amazing fighter and competitive , '' while her human half `` is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by . It 's the thing that gets her in trouble , but it 's also the thing that makes her great . '' Regarding concern that Larson was too young to portray Danvers , an accomplished airman , initial screenwriter Nicole Perlman consulted with the Air Force , who said it was not out of the realm of possibility for someone `` to go very far '' between the ages of 28 and 34 . Larson trained for nine months , learning judo , boxing , and wrestling . She also visited Nellis Air Force Base and met with active duty airmen , including Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt and Thunderbirds pilot Major Stephen Del Bagno to prepare for the role . </Li>
