word, Dana
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

As Colonel Danvers? Colonels have about 20 years of service in the military. I know it's Hollywood, but a late 30s actress would be nice. Unless we're supposed to assume she enlisted right out of kindergarten.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Is she a Colonel now? Last I knew, she was a Major. Though I haven't really kept up with comics lately.

She does actually look like she could play older, at least.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aren't even Majors more like 30? Although she'll be 28 in two years.

Air Force majors tend to range from mid thirties to mid forties, with more in the lower half. Carol would have been in the upper range of that as a Lt. Colonel (she was made a full bird Colonel when she retired and went to work for NASA, where she was working when introduced).
She also had time to build a career as a magazine editor between leaving NASA and getting shanghaied off to the Roofie Dimension by Immortus' son.

My only knowledge of military rank comes from watching MASH and Star Trek.
It wouldn't surprise me if they made her an actual Captain in the MCU since I think that's what the unpowered version of Carol from the Ultimate Universe (before she got promoted to Director of SHIELD) was.

Makes sense. Presumably she's not going to go through the Ms. Marvel/Binary/Warbird iterations and will just be the first Captain Marvel in the MCU.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That would make sense, though I wonder if they will nod to a Ms. Marvel moniker or era somehow to set up Kamala Khan in the MCU. Which is a faint hope, I know.
