From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The second trailer for Captain Marvel has landed, showcasing Brie Larson's superhero beating up an elderly woman (who's actually a shape-shifting villain called a Skrull).

Annette Bening debuts as the unnamed Kree who saves Larson's character Carol Danvers, while Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury (now with two eyes).

Set in the 1990s, official synopsis reads: "Based on the Marvel comic character first appearing in 1968, the story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races."

With the screenplay penned by a team consisting of director Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Meg LeFauve, Nicole Perlman, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Liz Flahive, and Carly Mensch, the cast also includes Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, and Jude Law.

Captain Marvel reaches cinemas 8 March 2019. Meanwhile, the trailer for the as-yet-untitled fourth Avengers looks set to debut later this week.
