CAPTAIN MARVEL: Newly Revealed Concept Art Shows Carol Danvers Battling Yon-Rogg In Outer Space

Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park has shared a previously unrevealed piece of artwork from 2019's Captain Marvel showing Carol Danvers battling Yon-Rogg in outer space. Check it out...

Captain Marvel delivered a lot of surprises, but chief among them was the reveal that Yon-Rogg and the Kree were the movie's true villains. Jude Law did a great job with the character, and Carol Danvers easily defeating him was a fun moment that cleverly emphasised how powerful she is. 

Now, Marvel Studios artist Andy Park has shared a previously unseen piece of concept art revealing that Captain Marvel and Yon-Rogg were once set to square off in outer space.

The final act was likely different in an earlier version of Captain Marvel, though Park explains that keyframes like this "are pivotal story moments of a film our department designs & paint up before the film is shot to help the directors & producers get a glimpse of what the film could look like."

Either way, it's fun to think of what might have been, and fascinating to get a behind the scenes glimpse at the work that went into bringing these characters to the big screen last year.

Check out the artwork below:

Would have been better than that terrible "battle" they had out in the desert. Seriously you can show she is a bad ass while still having her struggle in a fight with a more experienced fighter who trained her.
Iron Man nearly died in his first movie, people still loved him, struggles are what makes interesting characters. Thats why people love Captain America

@dracula - to be honest, I quite liked it that she said she had nothing to prove to him. Might even prefer it to the classic "I have to kick your ass because you're the bad guy" trope

@dracula - @dracula - My problem with Captain Marvel so far. I enjoy her movie, I mean it's fine, safe and works for what it is. But man, it always baffles me how they made her so confident, cocky and badass from the beginning while the opposite would have been so much more powerful. It's right there, all the pieces were in place. Show her unsure of herself, feeling unworthy because she's constantly being gashlighted by Yon-Rogg and the Kree. She believes in her unworthiness, feels like she doesn’t really belong but she doesn’t really knows why. She constantly thinks she has something to prove. Then on Earth she starts to remember who she is, where she's coming from and what she's all about. Her failings, her fallibility as a human being but also her determination to get back up and soldier on. Then BAM! she grows into this badass superwoman she always was underneath as she breaks free from her “programming” and reach into her untaped potential.

As it is in the movie she's pretty much on top of her shit from beginning to end and it's kind of boring from a character perspective. The flashback montage at the end with her falling as a kid feels flat since yeah she beat up 22 Skrulls with her hands tied in the first fifteen minutes. You don't feel the growth.

I also believe they missed an opportunity with her character growth in Endgame as well. I loved how she came in all cocky and ready to take care of things herself in the beginning. I thought it was the perfect set-up for her to be reminded of the value of team work and what humans can do and are willing to sacrifice even if they aren't as powerful as she is. Humble her and set her up to be more present as a team player in the MCU. But nah the movie didn't go there, she just shows up as a deus ex twice (TWICE!), wrecks shop at the end and every one rallies around her because girl power. It's too bad to miss such opportunities.

@Kingdork - Spot on, everything you said. I applaud this sir. Hopefully she has this arc going forward.

@dracula - clearly the only struggles she should be facing are the ones where the patriarchy, i mean kree, place unfair limits on her abilities so she can never do better than her male counterparts.

@Kingdork - that works. I also like this take on the film as well.

@Kingdork - Look bro I think you’ll agree with this too: comedy fell flat. But I don’t mean the jokes weren’t good bla bla, I mean 90’s. Skrulls. BLOCKBUSTER! What wasted potential! Imagine the skrulls walking into the blockbuster and pulling a Critters bounty hunter move, and then they follow her onto the bus. And one by one we see Deebo, the Waterboy, Vincent Vega, and Principal Trenchbull, all actual cameos and using de-aging tech, they enter the bus and sit down. And captain Marvel is nonplussed, but Stan Lee says, well never mind, that feels wrong, ok so some Matilda looking little girl sees Trenchbull and screams and that’s how CM knows it’s all wrong
BAM POW!

I hope they go all out for the sequel. Rooting for a winter soldier type sequel.

@PantherKing - This. I wonder will Marvel plan to do a Civil War II storyline in the next phases, I can easily see some heroes have fallout with her on issues.

@GothamSon - i doubt it. Civil war 2 was only made to capitalize on the movie. Not to mention that having too many films of the heroes fighting with each other cheapens that concept and raises the question of how the avengers could ever work. At the bare minimum we need to get a new team first.

@PantherKing - Black Widow's more suited for this kind of treatment, I hope the upcoming movie feels like WS, the best MCU movie imho.

The problem with the Captain Marvel movie is an issue with adapting her as she is in the comics.

Danvers is a stoic, grim, dour, prickly, somewhat humorless, unapologetic superhero. She doesn't bend to bullshit and comes across as 'standoff-ish'. She isn't a 'charisma- vacuum', but understands that she doesn't need to be a charismatic Tony Stark-type to save the world. Carol is workmanlike- no bullshit approach to saving the world and tackling the bigger threats to the Marvel Universe. In other words, unapologetic.

From a scriptwriting point of view, it makes her an incredibly tricky hero to adapt to a live-action 2 hour movie, which has to set up so many things like the Kree/skrulls, worldbuilding, powerset, fish-out-of-water scenarios, buddy cop comedy, doublecrosses and feminist themes.

She can be stoic and 'prickly', but they needed to give us one scene and a reason to care, to make her empathetic & relatable. They didn't do that.

Carol's space backstory was so confusing to a non-comics audience, it feels like it was edited together by three different editors with different visions for the story.

Also, the villains were weak. Sure, the Skrull bait-and-switch gave us a chance to see Ben Mendelsohn shine again in a funny role. But I'd have taken a villainous Mendelsohn over a crappily-done Jude Law any day.

Fury losing his eye to a cat-scratch was the dumbest thing in superhero cinema since Parker's sidewalk strut in SM3. And the forced 90's soundtrack was cringey.

One film reviewer I didn't like at first but who's grown on me, is Jeremy Jahns. He summed it up best:


'Captain Marvel' had no such 'reliability' for me. She starts the movie as a stoic warrior lady, and ends the movie as a stoic warrior lady who glows now.'
