CAPTAIN MARVEL Adds HUMANS Actress Gemma Chan As Kree Geneticist Doctor Minerva
Another piece of the Captain Marvel puzzle has now fallen into place, as Gemma Chan (Humans, Crazy Rich Asians) has joined the cast of the Marvel Studios film as Kree scientist and spy, Minn-Erva...
According to Deadline, Humans star Gemma Chan has joined the cast of Captain Marvel as Minn-Era, a.k.a. Doctor Minerva.
In the comics, this character first came to earth seeking Captain Mar-Vell in an attempt to reproduce with him and use his altered genes to help progress the Kree genetic code. Minn-Erva winds up gaining similar abilities to Carol Danvers, and will likely be introduced as a villain that can pose a physical threat to Brie Larson's super-powered protagonist.
Captain Marvel is being directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and is set to fly into theaters on March 8, 2019.
