Adventures of Captain Marvel fue un serial encantador de 12 episodios que se proyectó en cines en 1941, 1953 y, luego, como una película de cuatro horas, en 1966.
For this filmic reboot (Captain Marvel was the first comic book superhero to be adapted for film in a 1941 Republic Pictures serial titled Adventures of Captain Marvel ), we get a take on the New 52 version relaunched with Flashpoint .
That honor goes to the serials which ran in 1941 featuring Frank Coghlan, Jr. as Billy and Tom Tyler as his alter-ego Captain Marvel in Adventures of Captain Marvel .
Therefore, this revival of a hero whose last cinema outing was Adventures Of Captain Marvel in 1941 (before lawyers took away his name) is as much an entry in the kid-in-a-grown-up-body genre ( Freaky Friday , Vice Versa , Big ) as it is yet another addition to the currently crowded roster of superheroic spectacle.
