Update: Now with the release of the first Captain Marvel trailer, we know even more about the Skrulls in the film. Watch the trailer below to see Captain Marvel punch what looks like an old lady… but is surely a shape-changing Skrull in disguise!
And then read on for our original story about who the Skrulls are and why their arrival in the MCU is such a big deal.
The Skrulls! Those nasty, scaly-chinned aliens have been plaguing the heroes of Marvel Comics for decades, but for many fans they’ve been conspicuous by their absence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe… until now. Finally, the Skrulls will appear in Captain Marvel, with Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One) playing their leader, Talos, who is presumably the Big Bad of the highly anticipated Brie Larson film.
