The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us incredible sights. Distant planets. Dazzling heroics. Talking raccoons. But fans have spent 10 long years waiting for one specific thing: old ladies getting punched in the face.
Captain America? Zero old lady face punches. Iron Man? Nothin’ but safe grannies as far as the eye can see. Captain Marvel? Yes!
Watch the punch go down here:
Daaaaang, Brie Larson! That’s an awful lot of rage directed at our nation’s most precious resource: its seniors. Let’s take a closer look at this punch.



Okay, so we imagine the old lady getting socked in the jaw is actually a Skrull in disguise. The Skrull are shapeshifting aliens, and Captain Marvel will give them no quarter, even if they’re hiding beneath an old lady’s face! It’s possible the entire movie is just Captain Marvel running around punching secret alien senior citizens.
Buckle your seatbelts, Golden Girls. Captain Marvel is coming to punch you in your faces March 8, 2019.
