On Monday, Marvel released news that production of Captain Marvel is underway and gave fans something big to get excited about. Some major characters will be making their big screen return since their memorable, onscreen deaths. Clark Gregg, Djimon Hounsou, and Lee Pace will be returning as Phil Coulson, Korath the Pursuer, and Ronan the Accuser, respectively. If you keep up with Marvel television you know Coulson returned to SHIELD after a magical visit to Tahiti but hasn't been seen in an MCU movie since his role in Avengers and Korath and Ronan both perished in Guardians of the Galaxy. Since Captain Marvel is set in the 90's, Marvel has the opportunity to give us another look at these fan-favorites.
With the presence of the Skrulls already confirmed, we may get the chance to see a different look for our returning character, besides just looking a decade or so younger. Could it be that one of the shapeshifting aliens took the place of someone we've already met? When comparing these live-action interpretations to their comic origins, there's one that's significantly different. In the comics Ronan is more anti-hero than a villain, so fans were surprised to see his evil plans of annihilation in the movie. This deviation from the source material could be explained by him being killed or abducted by the Skrulls during the events of Captain Marvel, and it is revealed that who we saw in Guardians of the Galaxy was the Skrull imposter of Ronan.
Do you think Ronan will be a casualty of the Skrulls, or maybe a different character? Let us know what you think in the comments. And let's see if we get any answers when Avengers: Infinity Wars premieres on April 27th, 2018, or if we'll have to wait for Caption Marvel's release on March 6th, 2019.
