In 1995, on the Kree
Empire's capital planet of Hala, Starforce member Vers suffers from
amnesia and recurring nightmares involving an older woman. Yon-Rogg, her
mentor and commander, trains Vers to control her abilities, while the
Supreme Intelligence, the artificial intelligence that rules the Kree,
urges her to keep her emotions in check.
During a mission to rescue an undercover operative infiltrating a group of
Skrulls, alien shapeshifters with whom the Kree are at war, Vers is
captured by Skrull commander Talos. A probe of Vers' memories leads them
to Earth. Vers escapes and crash-lands in Los Angeles. Her presence
attracts S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, whose
investigation is interrupted by a Skrull attack. Vers recovers a crystal
containing her extracted memories in the ensuing chase while Fury kills a
Skrull impersonating Coulson.
Talos, disguised as Fury's boss Keller, orders Fury to work with Vers and
keep tabs on her. Using her extracted memories, Vers and Fury go to the
Project Pegasus installation at a U.S. Air Force base. They discover that
Vers was a pilot presumed to have died in 1989 while testing an
experimental light-speed engine designed by Dr. Wendy Lawson, whom Vers
recognizes as the woman from her nightmares. Fury informs S.H.I.E.L.D. of
their location and a team arrives. Fury realizes that Keller is Talos and
helps Vers escape in a jet with Lawson's stowaway cat, Goose.
They fly to Louisiana to meet former pilot Maria Rambeau, the last person
to see Vers and Lawson alive. Rambeau and her daughter Monica reveal that
Vers is Carol Danvers, who was once like family to them. Talos, arriving
unarmed, explains that the Skrulls are refugees searching for a new home
and that Lawson was Mar-Vell, a renegade Kree scientist helping them.
Talos plays a recovered blackbox recording from Lawson's jet, prompting
Danvers to remember the crash: Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell to prevent her
from destroying the engine before the Kree could recover it. Destroying
the engine herself, Danvers absorbed the energy from the ensuing
explosion, gaining powers but losing her memory.
Danvers, Talos, Fury, and Rambeau locate Lawson's cloaked laboratory
orbiting Earth, where Lawson hid several Skrulls, including Talos' family,
and the Tesseract, the power source of Lawson's engine. There, Danvers is
captured by Starforce and interfaces with the Supreme Intelligence.
Danvers removes the Kree implant that suppressed her powers during their
encounter, allowing her to reach her full potential. In the subsequent
battle, Fury retrieves Goose, who is revealed to be an alien Flerken.
Goose swallows the Tesseract and scratches Fury, blinding his left eye.
Danvers destroys a Kree bomber, forcing Kree officer Ronan the Accuser and
his squadron to retreat.
Danvers overpowers Yon-Rogg and sends him to Hala with a warning for the
Supreme Intelligence. She then departs to help the Skrulls find a new
homeworld, leaving Fury a modified pager to contact her in an emergency.
Fury drafts an initiative to locate heroes like Danvers, naming it after
her Air Force call sign, "Avenger". In a mid-credits scene, set in 2018,
the activated pager is being monitored by the Avengers when Danvers
appears looking for Fury. In a post-credits scene, Goose climbs onto
Fury's desk and regurgitates the Tesseract. |
