Carol Danvers Touches Upon the Skrulls in Brand New Marvel Studios' 'Captain Marvel' Trailer

Everything begins with a hero.

During ESPN's Monday Night Football, Marvel Studios premiered the brand-new trailer for "Captain Marvel," in theaters March 8, 2019, above! 

In the full trailer above, Carol Danvers touches upon the war between the Skrulls and the Kree with Nick Fury. She, herself, is a Kree--a race of "noble warrior heroes." With no memory of her past, several individuals--leader of Starforce (played by Jude Law), Skrulls leader Talos (played by Mendelsohn), and a mysterious character played by Annette Bening-- tell Carol who they think she is as well as her beginning.
