Captain Marvel has a long history with at least 3 different characters holding the mantle. Putting aside Billy Batson and that universe, the original Marvel Captain Marvel was Mar-Vell, a Kree warrior and got the power cosmic and best written AND drawn by the legendary Jim Starlin. Starlin eventually wrote The Death of Captain Marvel n original graphic novel where the character died of cancer. The 2nd Marvel Captain Marvel was Monica Rambeaux who was a great character who could transport at the speed of light. Not sure what happened to her.

Carol Danvers, I believe, became cosmic with the X-Men. She’ll become the prominent one soon, and I look forward to seeing how they flesh her out in the next year or so.

Carol Danvers obtained Mar-Vell's powers and became Ms. Marvel in 1977 prior to Monica Rambeau being introduced in 1982, and Danvers has recently been called Captain Marvel as well. Carol Danvers is the one who has been announced as the subject of the upcoming Captain Marvel movie.
