Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel is set to adapt the comic book storyline of the Kree-Skrull War - and now a first look image of Skrulls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been released. After a banner 2018 with three major comic book tentpole movies, Marvel Studios will kick off 2019 with the first solo MCU movie starring a female superhero. Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers in the Captain Marvel movie - which isn't an origin story. Instead, Captain Marvel will adapt the Kree-Skrull War storyline from the comics, though it will likely be a loose interpretation like Civil War and Infinity War.

Kree have been part of the MCU for some time, having first been introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy. The team of galactic misfits faced off against Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) before eventually defeating the villainous Kree. Then the race of aliens played a major role in the Marvel TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In fact, much of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most recent season dealt with the team being trapped in the future and facing off against Kree overlords. Now, however, both Kree and Skrulls will be important to Captain Marvel and new images from the movie offer a first look at the latter race.

EW released a batch of photos from Captain Marvel, one of which features a group of Skrulls coming out of the ocean on what appears to be an Earth beach. Ben Mendelsohn plays their leader Talos in Captain Marvel, appearing in the image below. Take a look at the first image of Skrulls in the MCU:
