Carol Danvers is a former U.S. pilet who just started her job at the N.A.S.A base. Then one night she finds herself in the middle of an alien attack as two ships battle and crash to earth. While trying to check the crash site, she's attacked by the Skrulls. That's when Captain Marvel comes out of the other ship and helps rescues her. But his ship soons explodes and she's caught in the blast, although Cap. Marvel throws his body over her to protect her.
It's this blast that gives Carol her powers. And while she helps Captain Marvel hunt down the Skrulls to stop their evil plans, she starts learning how to control her powers. By the time Captain Marvel starts to look like he may lose to the Super Skrull, Carol finally becomes Ms. Marvel and helps defeat him. At the end of the movie, Carol decides to become a superhero and Cap. Marvel uses a spare ship to return to space.
The only problem is she is instantly "second fiddle" to Captain Marvel. She gets her powers from him; when he tries to save her. For the rest of the movie; it wouldn't make sense for him not to save the day (since he would have the original powers and experience) over Carol.
I love the idea of her starting off human and on a military base. And the idea of the Skrull invasion (Brood would be more appropriate, but a little too much Starship Troopers to work).
Why not have a Kree person appear; during the conflict; and inform her she has ALWAYS been Ms. Marvel; but she doesn't know it/sleep agent. And she was sent to Earth to protect it. Maybe half Kree/human? And she now must become the hero she was born to be?
You would also need a human/earth villain so it's not "perfect human earth vs. evil aliens/things that a different = evil". Henry Gyrich? Mystique posing as Henry Gyrich 
I'm still fuzzy on Carol Danver's history; so I can't come up with a better human/earth villain to interfere behind the scenes, sorry.
I've been watching the West Wing lately; so Mary McCormack (Kate Harper) is right now who I'd want as Carol Danvers.
