It is the first Marvel film to centre on a female superhero and the first to be co-directed by a woman.
Jackson reprises his role of Nick Fury for the film, set in the 1990s, while Law’s role remains something of a mystery.

When he was first cast it was reported he would be playing Danvers’ mentor Dr Walter Lawson, the human identity of warrior Mar-Vell, but it has since been mooted he would be playing Yon-Rogg, Danvers’ superior in the Kree Empire’s Starforce team.
Larson, Jackson and Law will be joined at the premiere at Curzon Mayfair by co-stars Lashana Lynch and Gemma Chan and writers and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
Captain Marvel opens in UK cinemas on March 8.
