Producer Nate Moore Says CAPTAIN MARVEL Will Break Away From The Structure Of Marvel's Other Origin Movies
Captain Marvel is set to join the list of origin stories from Marvel Studios, but according to producer Nate Moore we can expect the Brie Larson-led film to be quite different from those previous movies.
After 10 years, it’s no surprise that Marvel Studios has already created several origin films for their numerous superheroes, and when you’ve racked up a list like they have, it’s undoubtedly hard work keeping the various origins fresh. In fact, a few of their movies, like Doctor Strange, have received a bit of criticism for their similarities to others such as 2008’s Iron Man.
But, if Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore is to be believed, that may be a problem next year’s Captain Marvel will sidestep.
“I think there is a structure to origin films that audiences sometimes can get ahead of very quickly,” Moore admitted in an interview with Cinema Blend. “So, if we do origin films, internally, we talk about how we can subvert that structure.”
The producer then went on to explain the details of this structure that Captain Marvel will hope to avoid:
“For instance, Captain Marvel is an origin movie in that you haven't seen her before, but we think we've stumbled upon a structure there that isn't the traditional structure of what origin movies typically are, which is you meet the character, they have a problem, they get powers at the end of the first act, and the end of the second act they learn about the powers, the third act they probably fight a villain who has a function of the same powers.”
Of course, Moore doesn’t reveal any specifics on how the upcoming Marvel film will subvert these common tropes, but his comments are in line with what we've heard from others involved in the Brie Larson led film.
After all, Kevin Feige has previously said the movie would tell a “unique and inspiring” origin.
