Variety: ‘Captain Marvel’: Jude Law Lands Male Lead Opposite Brie Larson (EXCLUSIVE)
- Thread starter ZattMurdock
- Start date
If Mar-vell is Kree does that mean he'll have blue skin like Ronan the Accuser? How are they depicted in the comics?
Yeah, I can see this happening. Is the Captain Marvel film due out before Avengers 4?
That makes the most sense; could it be some more Time Stone shenanigans perhaps?
The trouble with that plot explanation though is why didn't she show up in Avengers 1 or 2 to help battle those world-ending threats? They could have really used someone with strength akin to Hulk & Thor who can fly; especially in the battle above New York.

Funny thing is that my sister gets Paul Bettany mixed up with Jude Law, so this is sure to throw her off.
Really? They look nothing alike. I sometimes confuse Jude Law with Rufus Sewell.
A cameo with a GotG character is quite possible, be it Ronon, Yondu, or a young Star-Lord riddled with teen-angst
With Debicki as a tall af Ayesha, it has to be Alexander Skarsgard:
I honestly thought Rufus Sewell was playing Vortigern in King Arthur based on trailers.
I mean...

Isn't Nick Fury supossed to be in this movie with a role like RDJ in Homecoming? Because that would be a cool link between her and the Avengers. Maybe they'll introduce her on a post-credit scene from Infinity War: Fury's talking to Maria Hill and she says that they need help. He says "time to call the Captain". Hill looks at him and doesn't understand shit. Then he goes "do you really think Rogers is the only Captain?" BOOM.
Keanu needs to be in the MCU, but I'm happy he is not Mar-vell not really fitting.
Tbh I loved Keanu as Constantine.. and I think he would also make a great Dream from Sandman
Maria Hill: ...what?
Fury: Yeah, i had a super-powered person at my disposal all this time and chose not to use her because I just didnt feel like it. Makes sense, right?
Jude Law is the original Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, in Marvel's "Captain Marvel" starring Brie Larson as Marvel's Captain Marvel.
MARVEL.
MARVEL.
Considering she's basically going to the MCU's Superman equivalent in terms of power, either having her in containment or having her out in space keeping track of cosmic threats might be a fitting reason for why he doesn't summon her earlier
Keanu is destined to save the DCEU.
As... The Phantom Stranger. Not really a character that could carry a movie but who the fuck cares at this point.
Another decent alternative: Jason Blood. Plus, Keanu would get to resurrect his English accent from Dracula.
Hey I didn't say that it made sense.
Perhaps they'll fix that loophole with some sort of government/SHIELD document that states that she will stay away from Earth because of reasons (maybe she'll be like a protector that deals with some huge intergalactic threats ). Maybe she even fought against Loki's army from Avengers 1 in outer space. That would be another possible link. I don't know, I think they have plenty of options for introduce her and explain why the hell she didn't come to help.
I was worried that when they said they were going to change up her origin story that Mar-Vell would get ejected from the story, but now it seems like Mar-vell will be her link to some Kree cosmic shenanigans and possibly be still tied with the story of how she gets her powers.
Oh man! Considering they are going after Jude Law and Keanu, I could see what sort of character they are going for; Jude's Gigolo Joe from AI or Keanu's Neo from The Matrix. If that is the case, I would have preferred Keanu in the role.

The official synopsis is that she gets her DNA fused with an alien's. 100% likely it will be Mar-Vell's and maybe he loses some of his powers in the transition and thus mentors her to take up his mantle and fight the Skrulls.
Ya know what? Yeah, I like this.With Debicki as a tall af Ayesha, it has to be Alexander Skarsgard:
I thought the movie was supposed to be set in the past of the MCU?
I could imagine Mar-Vell being in flashbacks, before he died and Carol took the mantle, and the movie being set in two eras. Ideally with the past setting up aliens like Skrulls infiltrating Earth.
Marvel is owned by the company that is known to follow the Heroes Journey to a crazy extent. You're getting a mentor death somewhere in the movie
Yeah, I don't see Captain Marvel being kept as an ace in the hole.
Time travel is also messy, I would rather she be stuck in the Soul Gem.
There are2 races of kree, blue the majority and pink the minority. They also have drugs that can make a blue into a pink

I've posted to MHWilliams my hot take on twitter. Might as well share it here:
Hot take: Captain Marvel's powers the Nega-Bands GIVE you cancer. Mar-Vell is already dying. Carol's storyline in the present is heavily inspired on Jane's Thor storyline, since to survive in space all this time she went away, she had to use her powers all the time. Boom.

Yeah I mean, Jane is easily one of the Marvel Comics most interesting characters, while Carol was turned into one of the most boring ones after Kelly Sue DeConnick left. Since they don't seem to be using Jane anytime soon and Captain Marvel's own origin is deeply related to Mar-Vell dying from cancer, making Carol a cancer survivor / battling cancer is the kind of urgency and freshness that Carol could definitely use. It just makes too much sense for Marvel Studios not to have that on their minds too.
