RUMOR: Despite THE MARVELS' Box Office Struggles, There Are Plans To Introduce Major CAPTAIN MARVEL Character

The Marvels might have brought an end to Carol Danvers' solo adventures on screen, but a new rumour reveals plans to add a key supporting character from Captain Marvel's world to the MCU. Check it out...

Captain Marvel grossed over $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office in 2019, overcoming review-bombing to take a character considered a B-Lister on the page to new heights on screen.

However, last November's The Marvels - which added Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau to the mix - failed to come close to its predecessor and earned a mere $206 million by the time its run in theaters ended (and that's the sequel's worldwide haul, not merely domestic). 

The odds of Captain Marvel 3 happening now seem slim, though that doesn't mean Carol Danvers will be permanently sidelined. For starters, she's expected to be a major player in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars

The Cosmic Circus has shared an intriguing hint about Captain Marvel's role in those movies, teasing: "[We] know she can absorb a lot of energy, but have you ever stopped to ask how much energy is too much energy? Like, what would happen if Carol came into contact with... say for example, the Time Strands that Loki is holding together?"

It's an intriguing question, but on a more definitive note, the site adds, "I heard through the grapevine that Marvel was interested in introducing Noh-Varr into the MCU, given that his origins are Multiversal, and he has a role to play with the Young Avengers, but I’m not 100% if that is still in play."

For those of you who aren't aware, Noh-Varr, also known as Marvel Boy, is a Kree warrior from an alternate dimension. Created by writer Grant Morrison and artist J.G. Jones, he first appeared in 2000's Marvel Boy #1.

After his ship crashes on Earth, Noh-Varr finds himself stranded and initially hostile to humanity, seeking revenge for his fallen crew. He'd later become an anti-hero, serving alongside teams like the Young Avengers and even the Dark Avengers. 

Either one of the upcoming Avengers movies would be a fitting place to add Noh-Varr to the MCU, though there are still plenty of other cosmic characters - Nova, for example - who fans are eager to see on screen.

Carol Danvers actor Brie Larson was asked earlier this year about possibly reuniting with her The Marvels co-stars Iman Vellani (Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel) and Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau).

"I just loved being with those ladies so much," the Oscar-winner said. "And I think that the sentiment of it is so right to me and is much more where I’m at in my life, which is, there’s no one superhero that can save us. It takes all kinds of people that have their own special skill sets and the ability to understand that the brink of disaster cannot be stopped by one."

"It’s all of us coming together. So that feels really right to me. And you know, as for the future, there’s things that I know, but I can’t tell you."

As for whether she'll appear in the upcoming Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars, Larson responded, "I can’t say anything and I can’t even say that I don’t know anything, because that might mean that there’s something to say or not say. So I’ll just say that I can’t say."

If they did the character right (they won't), I'd be happy to see Noh-Varr enter the MCU.

Captain Marvel is one of the MCU's biggest problems, because she is a very powerful and important character to sideline, but most of the audience don't care about her. She doesn't have anywhere near as much charisma/presence as the other big Avengers characters have.

@Urubrodi - it's a shame that I feel Marvels actually worked around that pretty well but it gets crapped on a lot

@Slotherin - In my point of view The Marvels worked on that by removing the focus from her and splitting the protagonism with 2 others. She was slightly more likeable in that movie but then again the movie itself is far from memorable.

Josh is such a Disney shill he can't call it a flop and has to use lame euphemisms.

Introduce Captain Marvel first.
Jokes aside, I think the next story should have included Genis-Vell but I guess they cut straight to Phylla. We'll see.

I like the idea of Captain Marvel sacrificing herself to rebirth the multiverse or something, that way we can name the multiverse and universe after her in-canon, but truly the only thing I wanna see with Captain Marvel in a multiversal situation is Anna Paquin's Rogue coming back and stealing her powers.

She looks way more like Rogue now that she's older. Got the right build too.

@ObserverIO - her southern accent on True Blood would have been perfect!

@ObserverIO - Honestly always thought she was miscast in that role. Not saying that she's a bad actress by any means but I think they can find someone better for Rogue.

@ObserverIO - I rather see that happen with an MCU-native Rogue. Although I like the idea of Carol losing her power by powering the new multiverse too.

They're barely in the green after Deadpool 3. I've done the math, these aren't struggles... They're terrible movies 🤡

I doubt we'll see it happen in another Captain Marvel movie, if that's even in the cards anymore. It's a character that could show up in a second season of a Young Avengers show as well.

I wouldn't mind a Captain Marvel 3 if they pull a Civil War and make it a team-up movie though. Annihilation is perfect. Good way to bring back Thor, Nova and Rocket's Guardians too.

@bkmeijer1 - TBH, I only would be down for a Cap Marvel 3 film if it were in this type of vain, but it would need strong writers because that 2nd film was lacking. They'd need someone like Lauren LeFranc or Melissa Rosenberg
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/14/2024, 2:15 AM
@HAUSMAN01 - they definitely need better writers (I'm not familiar with those two though). There's a lot to be done with the cosmic side, if done well
HAUSMAN01
HAUSMAN01 - 11/15/2024, 6:31 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Lauren just did PENGUIN and Melissa was behind NETFLIX's Jessica Jones another I'd add is Agent Carter showrunners Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, and Chris Dingess

@HAUSMAN01 - okay I'm sold then. That's exactly what Captain Marvel needs
