CAPTAIN MARVEL Character Breakdown Could Possibly Hint At The MCU Introduction Of Rick Jones

As the casting for Captain Marvel begins to heat-up, a new character breakdown may confirm that we'll see the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of "professional superhero sidekick", Richard "Rick" Jones...

We recently found out that Jude Law had joined the cast of Captain Marvel as Mar-Vell, and now a new casting call may suggest that his friend Rick Jones will also feature in the upcoming movie.

That Hashtag Show has come across a casting call-sheet which reads; "Supporting Lead Male (35-59) Intelligent, but can throw a punch. Open ethnicity. Sounds like he may be tied to a well-known character." That's clearly not a whole lot to go on, but - provided this does turn out to be an established Marvel Comics character - it could well indicate that Rick Jones is about to join the MCU.

Jones was first introduced as a sidekick to The Hulk, but he has also accompanied Captain America on his adventures, and is arguably best known for sharing a telepathic link with Mar-Vell and switching places with the hero while he was trapped in the Negative Zone by using the Nega-Bands. Jones also played an integral role in the Kree/Skrull War (which we know the movie will touch upon) and was by Mar-Vell's side when he died. 

This is purely speculation at this point, but Jones seems like as good a guess as any! Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments below.

How'd you get Rick Jones from such a vague description?

@Deonox - I didn't, it's their theory.. but I think it's a good one.

@RorMachine - I literally had to pull up a wiki on Rick Jones and i just saw another article explaining how he connects to the Kree-Skrull War. And now i get the theory. Without that context, Moleman would attack to take over this molehill statement

Josh Wilding has got a bigger reach than Reed Richards.

@Superman8 - He was in the original script, but Edward Norton wrote him out

Isn't Rick Jones Bruce Banner's friend?
