Though it’s preceded by 20 other movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Captain Marvel” takes place before nearly all of them — 1995, to be exact. As such, the folks at Marvel have opted to give the film an era-appropriate website straight out of the Angelfire/GeoCities age. Visit it here to take in all the Comic Sans, low-res gifs, and repeating background images you can handle.
Among the features: a Spot the Skrull game, which challenges visitors to determine whether an image is of a friendly human or dreaded Skrull; a guestbook full of messages like “All your base are belong to us,” “This whole ‘Internet’ thing is a fad,” and “Is anyone else concerned about Y2K?!?”; and pictures of all the heroes. Chief among them is Captain Marvel herself, played by Brie Larson, though she’s joined by the likes of Nick Fury (a de-aged Samuel L. Jackson) and Walter Lawson/Mar-Vell (Jude Law).
“Captain Marvel” is directed by “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” and “Mississippi Grind” helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck; Boden is the first female filmmaker to take the reins of a Marvel movie. Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, and Annette Bening co-star in the film, which Disney will release in theaters on March 8.
