According to CinemaBlend, girls around the world will have a new Marvel superhero to call their own at the movies when "Captain Marvel" takes to the silverscreen. Reportedly, the heroine is set to fly into theaters on March 8, 2019.

The comic book wars between mega publishers DC and Marvel have, respectively, been well known for decades by scores of fans of all ages around the globe. This rivalry is no less felt in the movie world, as DC's own "Wonder Woman" will have her own film hitting box offices during 2017.

"Captain Marvel" is part of an overall cinematic strategy by Marvel's Cinematic Universe, which is responsible for the roundly popular "X-Men," "Avengers" and "Ant Man" franchises, among others. Originally, Marvel's signature-blond heroine was expected to be in theaters by July 6, 2018. However, the film, which is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, is expected to do far more than introduce Captain Marvel and her alter ego, Carol Danvers. In fact, speculation is running high that the "Captain Marvel" film will be a bridge to blend many of Marvel Studios most compelling attractions.

What does that mean? Well, for the movie-going public and Marvel fans everywhere, it means  a new chapter beginning in the superhero universe in theaters and on televisions everywhere.
