Less than two weeks from now, we're going to be flying Higher. Further. Faster with Captain Marvel.
In the meantime, Marvel Studios is really pushing the promotion hard, and now a new featurette has been released which delves into the Skrulls. The shapeshifting villains are about to become a huge part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and there are some very cool shots here which we haven't seen before of them taking on the identities of a number of humans.
As for Jude Law's character, we already know that he's playing Yon-Rogg but this officially released featurette 100% confirms that, as that's who he's specifically named as during his interview segment.
Captain Marvel looks like a lot of fun, but it should also be a movie that has major ramifications for this shared world moving forward - especially if Marvel really is building up to a Secret Invasion adaptation (it would certainly be a waste for the Skrulls to be one and done anyway).
Check out the featurette below and share your thoughts on it in the usual place.
For a breakdown of some new Captain Marvel spoilers
from a tie-in book, hit the "View List" button below!
Carol Danvers' Six Years Of Memories
The book reveals that Carol (or "Vers" as she's now known) has no memory of her life beyond the past six years or so. However, she's been told that she lost all knowledge as a result of the Kastelian attacks which were orchestrated by the Skrulls.
That's quite a story to spin and would explain why she's working with the Kree; the former Air Force pilot has been led to believe that she's one of them and her memory loss was the direct result of the shape-shifting aliens. How much truth there is to that obviously remains to be seen.
Skrulls Can (Sort Of) Read Minds
The Skrulls are able to shapeshift into anyone just by looking at them but there's more to being "simmed" than just having your identity stolen. The book reveals that the aliens also retain the memories of those they imitate.
It's said that after turning into someone else, the Skrulls copy "the genetic markers, DNA and recent memories of their target." That means it will be extremely hard to find out who's a Skrull as various tests wouldn't reveal their true selves, biologically speaking, and the fact they have those memories will surely make it easier to blend in as well.
