According to Kevin Feige, "This Captain Marvel's name is Carol Danvers."
Carol Danvers first appeared as a supporting character in Marvel Super-Heroes in 1968. She was a top U.S. Air Force pilot who moved on to the CIA and then NASA, where she met and fell in love with the original Captain Marvel named Mar-Vell. After having superpowers including flight and enhanced strength and durability, Danvers' then took on the superhero name "Ms. Marvel" for the first time in 1977.
Later on, she took the Captain Marvel mantle in 2012 while promoting her own series created by Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Dexter Soy. During that time, Captain Marvel was the publisher's only solo female superhero title. To comic book readers, she is a fan favorite character that people have been asking Kevin Feige about for years.
Though Feige clarified that the mantle passed through several more characters before landing with Carol Danvers in 2012, Captain Marvel comic fans still demands for another:

The real Captain Marvel is the Fawcett version. All others are fakes, including all of Marvel Comics' attempts. I hope WB/DC will call the hero "Captain Marvel" in the movie, not by the weak-ass "Shazam" name. DC needs to cut ties to the overrated Geoff Johns and his hoodie fetish.

I was very excited when i heard that Marvel Was going to do a Movie about Captain Marvel. A Character i consider a pivotal character in the Marvel Universe. Then i heard the character was going to be based on Carol Danvers! As A Comic aficionado with a huge collection i was very Disappointed in Marvel as Carol Danvers was introduced as MS Marvel not Captain Marvel in the Comics and the books Marvel did were at best marginal and hardly movie worthy let alone to call the movie with this character Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel also know as the Captain of the Warrior Kree was and Iconic figure where the Evil Thanos first made his appearance. A Superb comic with outstanding story line and epic Jim Starlin Artwork. As Marvel seems to be inundated with social and Political correctness these days i put a Captain Marvel movie made with the Character of Carol Danvers to be in the category of potential epic failures like X-men X3 the movie i paid to see and shouldn't have. If this is going to be Marvels pathetic attempt at a Captain Marvel Movie neither i nor my friends will bother paying money to see or buy this movie. To say the least i am extremely disappointed with Marvel concerning the direction of this movie.
Mar-Vell 4 The Movies
After all these years of waiting, and they're NOT using THE real Mar-Vell, Marvel's most famous and beloved Original Captain Marvel??? This is boycott worthy IMHO and fans both men and women alike should do so. Before I begin, let preface my thoughts but saying that I am not sexist, nor racist, nor any of those things (however this move is clearly designed to make any real Mar-Vell fans who have waited and waited, been loyal and patient for many years for there to be a Captain Marvel film, and we get this slap in the face?) I have nothing against there being a strong female lead hero, but is this underhanded screwing of The ONE AND ONLY Captain Marvel, THE Mar-Vell how you want to get it, especially when Marvel has a plethora of strong female heros to choose from? The REAL Mar-Vell, Captain Marvel even recently, with The Return and the miniseries outsold BY FAR any of the Captain Carol comics they heavily promote, yes even all the "teaser" appearances, with little promotion. Do the hardcore loyal Marvel readers not count?
Captain Mar-Vell was ALWAYS been a character best suited for a movie, I don't think anyone who knows the comics would disagree simply because of the merging of sci-fantasy and superhero genres so successful on the big screen. Matter of fact to some, arguably the most underrated hero ever. (How ya going to beat a hero who knows what you're going to do before you do? Ask Thor sometime lol)
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Carol nor am I hating on fans or anything, but what was wrong with Ms. Marvel/Warbird? LOL What is wrong with these people? I'm sorry that's just how I feel, and I know I'm not alone, I think everybody is just speechless, because ohhhh you must be a sexist (rolls eyes) if you want what is right. C'mon guys and girls, what's right is right, and this is just wrong.
Marvel needs the REAL Mar-Vell more than a Wonder Woman. Ridiculous.
Thank you for reading.
Mar-Vell 4 The Movies
This is ridiculous. THE REAL MAR-VELL is tailor made for the movies, using Carol is ridiculous, and no I'm not sexist. What's right is right.
And no, not the green and white garbage, the real red and blue black streaking hero, who is arguably Comics most underrated ever.
This is just wrong. Thank you

i think to be honest, she should be considered Ms Marvel, her black outfit was the best, and clearly symbolises Synergy and Cosmology between her powers and her past as being Warbird, and Binary. As a fan for almost 24 years of reading non stop about her plot in the Marvel Universe, the new outfit, new hair style as 2012 Captain Marvel is sickening.. i loved the story line, but i pictured her in Ms Marvel uniform because thats what defines her, although 616 #39 Moonstone's Ms Marvel uniform what really fitting also and i just wish we should see her as her best, and not DeConnick's portrayal.. no offence. And for the Actress who plays her, it should be Katheryn Winnick, she has the curves, movement (in Vikings) and the right attitude and face for a substantial Carol Susan Jane Danvers, Kate would work, but i could not see her fit in really, Carol is loving and understanding without her uniform but with it, she's decisive, law enforced and very stubborn to do things necessarily putting herself to danger and i know Marvel will not disappoint.. at least i hope..

I hope you guys end up mentioning the original Captain Marvel in the movie like you are doing with Ant-Man.

I can see a lot of the General Audience are going to be scratching their heads asking when did Captain Marvel became a women. The whole name Captain Marvel is already confusing enough. When people think of Captain Marvel. There either thinking of Mar-Vell or Billy Batson. Frankly it would best just to introduce her in GOTG 2 and then Call her Ms. Marvel. As that is the name she best known as.
The question is, "Who is the Real Captain Marvel?"
Marvel's first film female lead Captain Marvel will be release in theaters on July 6, 2018.
