According to Entertainment Weekly, Captain Marvel kicks off with Carol Danvers living on Hala where she's part of Starforce, a military team that's essentially the Seal Team Six of outer space. Among its members are Korath and sniper Minn-Erva, while Jude Law's mysterious character leads the team and is said to be "Kree to the core." The question is, who exactly will the British actor be playing?
That we don't know but "He is driven by a belief in the divine leadership of the Kree people," Law explains. "So he’s almost a devout warrior — unquestioning, conservative, but inspirational." Whoever Law is playing, he grows close with Carol and views her as both a mentee and pet project.
"These extraordinary powers she has, he sees them as something of a blessing and something that she has to learn how to control," the actor reveals. "That’s a motif throughout the piece, the element of learning to control one’s emotions and to use your powers wisely." We know that she'll have God-like abilities but could it be that the Kree is attempting to use Carol for its own means? It would be a neat twist for Law's version of Mar-Vell to be outed as a bad guy at some point in Captain Marvel!
Larson, meanwhile, had this to say about Law's mystery man. "There’s a lot and back and forth that comes with the two of them, which kind of creates a little bit of tension with the rest of Starforce," she explains. "Like, ‘Why do they have a special relationship, and why isn’t it me?’" Do you have any theories about who the actor could be playing here? Be sure to let us know your thoughts below.
