Let know about the upcoming movie 'Captain Marvel'
Marvel’s first female-led movie Captain Marvel will draw some level of inspiration from the fan-favorite "Kree-Skrull War" comic book storyline. It's a decision that seems all the stranger given that Carol Danvers, the main character of the movie, barely makes an appearance in that story, years before she became a superhero.

The Kree-Skrull War was one of Marvel’s first extended storylines, running for eight months through issues of the Avengers comic book series. As the name suggests, the central narrative is a war between the Kree and the Skrulls, two alien races that had appeared in a number of Marvel's comics for years by that point. The Skrulls, in fact, went all the way back to the 1963 second issue of Fantastic Four. Thanks to their ability to change shape, they’d been hypnotized into believing they were earth cows, a plot point that would be brought up multiple times in subsequent years.
At the point where the story began, the Kree were the more high-profile of the aliens, thanks to the Captain Marvel comic book series, which featured a Kree soldier in the title role. (This was Mar-Vell, a male hero who served as both love interest for and, later, superheroic inspiration to, Carol Danvers. He’d be killed off in 1982's subtly titled The Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel.) As part of the set-up of that series, Earth had been identified as a planet of interest by the Kree — something that provoked Mar-Vell to forsake his own people in protest, and fly to Earth’s defense. (Literally.)
The Avengers storyline initially picked up on that thread, with Mar-Vell and the team dealing with an attempt by Ronan the Accuser to transform Earth into a base camp for the Kree. (Ronan is, of course, Lee Pace's character from Guardians of the Galaxy; Marvel has confirmed Pace will return for Captain Marvel.) The temporary partnership between the Avengers and Mar-Vell means that the team is paying attention when Mar-Vell is brought before the "Alien Activities Committee," a government body that is later revealed to be a front for the Skrulls, also seeking to use Earth for their own end.
