MCU down the road a bit...

Post by Mikey »

So, Oscar-winner Brie Larson has been cast as the eponymous Captain Marvel for the 2019 film. This gives me great hope that the MCU's first female lead will be character-centric, and not focus on filling spandex. Not that she's unattractive, but she's certainly been cast for her chops more than anything else.

*EDIT* OMG, just had the most awesomely obnoxious idea. Marvel should make this film, featuring the Carol Danvers Captain Marvel. Plus, Include one of the extraterrestrial Captain Marvels in the next GotG. Then, make a film with Kamala Khan - i.e., Ms. Marvel, which name used to belong to Carol Danvers, the current Captain Marvel. Plus, convince DC to include in one of their films Shazam, a.k.a. - you guessed it - Captain Marvel.

Mehh.....first I think they should have done a Black Widow movie for the "first female lead".

That being said...I was rooting for Yvonne Strahovski simply because I liked her from Chuck.

Despite her being named after cheese, I like the decision a lot. She's a phenomenal actress, and by all appearances is very much into playing Captain Marvel.
