Anyway, here's my pitch for a Captain Marvel film:

Carol Danvers is an air force pilot, and is sent to investigate a strange aircraft flying above the US countryside. The aircraft turns out to be some sort of extraterrestrial spaceship, and a hostile one. After a dogfight, Carol is able to shoot down the Kree ship, but the ship takes her down as well. She survives the crash, and curious, she goes to investigate the ship. She is shocked to see two alien pilots inside (dead). The ship was carrying a dangerous alien artifact, known as the Cosmic Cube. Carol is mutated by the Cube's cosmic energy, and awakens in a secret facility, the base of the confidential organization SWORD, a subsidiary of SHIELD focused on extraterrestrial activity. Over the course of the film, Carol must learn to use her new powers and work with SWORD to stop a coming invasion by the Kree, but along the way she finds an unlikely ally in a Kree soldier named Mar-Vell.

It'll set some stuff up for Avengers 2, and also introduce Carol Danvers to the universe. To play Carol I was thinking Emily Blunt, but there are a lot of good actresses out there who would be great as Captain Marvel. The villains would be, well, the Kree, but more specifically the Kree Supreme Intelligence and Ronan the Accuser. Thoughts?
