CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 Reportedly Casting Two Mysterious Supporting Roles - Possible SPOILERS

We have some details on two supporting characters Marvel Studios is said to be in the process of casting for next year's Captain Marvel sequel, and one, in particular, sounds very interesting indeed...

Captain Marvel 2 is currently scheduled to fly into theaters next year, and we found out last year that Candyman reboot director Nia DaCosta is set to step behind the camera of the highly anticipated sequel, making her the first Black woman to helm a Marvel Studios film.

Star Brie Larson recently confirmed that she'd begun training for her return as the space-faring hero, and we now have word on two mysterious supporting roles Marvel is in the process of casting for. We don't know the identities of the characters, but The Illuminerdi does have some intriguing details.

The first is "a strong African-American role that will be a prominent part of the movie," and the studio is reportedly trying to get Zawe Ashton, who has been up for several Marvel roles in the past, to play the part. The sequel is also said to be searching for an actor to play - and here's where that potential spoiler comes in - "a red herring role with an early death in the movie." Sin City star Clive Owen is said to be the "prototype," but no one is actually in consideration yet.

Interesting stuff, eh?

Plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani will make her big-screen debut as Kamala Khan, and WandaVision's Teyonah Parris will reprise the role of Monica Rambeau. DaCosta will direct from a script by WandaVision writer Megan McDonnell.

Any idea who these mysterious characters might be? Drop us a comment down below, and check out our Captain Marvel spoiler breakdown if you fancy a recap.

Thank You Stan

As we reported already, Captain Marvel opens with a touching tribute to the late Stan "The Man" Lee.

Instead of the usual collage of Marvel character featured in the opening logo graphic, it's completely made up of Lee's cameo appearances in all of the earlier MCU films. Then, just before the movie gets underway, "Thank you Stan" shows up on the screen.

The Generalissimo also makes his first posthumous cameo in the film when Carol spots him reading the script for Kevin Smith's Mallrats on the bus (Lee appeared in that movie in the '90s), but, to be honest, it's not quite so effective.

Vers

After a quick glimpse into the past (more on that later), we're transported to The Kree homeworld of Hala and introduced to Star Force Officer Vers (Brie Larson), who can't sleep and decides to instigate a sparring session with her commander Yon-Rogg (Jude Law).

During their fight, he tells her that she must learn to control her emotions if she hopes to harness her full potential. It's suggested that Vers' power comes from an implant in her neck.

We then see Vers convening with The Supreme Intelligence (Annette Bening), who takes the form of the person one most respects and admires - although Vers has no memory of Bening's character.

Skrull Ambush And Capture

The Intelligence gives Vers and her team a mission: they must retrieve a Kree spy with information vital to winning the war from a nearby planet. Unfortunately, the whole thing is a setup and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) was posing as the agent the whole time. He stuns Vers and takes her aboard his ship while the others fight their way free.

Talos is looking for information buried deep within Vers' consciousness, and his mind probe is able to scan through the events of her past.

Through these flashes we learn that Bening's character is a Doctor Lawson who worked with Carol Danvers in the Air Force. She seems to be the key to the coordinates Talos wants, but Vers busts loose before he can retrieve them.

Escape

Vers manages to free herself, and after she briefly interrogates Talos (he just taunts her like a boss) we're treated to arguably the best action sequence in the movie.

Vers' hands are still encased in metal so she can't use her photon blasts, but the resourceful warrior still manages to take down dozens of Skrulls. In the end, she's able to free her hands but inadvertently blasts a huge hole in the side of the ship in the process.

Vers then commanders an escape pod, and it's off to Earth we go.

Planet C-53

Vers crash-lands on Earth, aka Planet C-53, and after a series of "look, it's the '90s!" sight gags, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive on the scene to question her.

Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) doesn't believe a word of her story at first, but when The Skrulls attack and it's revealed that one of them is posing as Coulson (Clark Gregg), that soon changes. Vers pursues one of the Skrulls, but after posing as an old lady on a train (yes, that one), he manages to give her the slip.

Meanwhile, back at S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ an autopsy on the Coulson Skrull is performed and we see that Talos is now posing as Fury's boss.

The Truth

Vers and Fury decide to team up, and after commandeering an experimental plane - with Goose as a stowaway - at the military base where Lawson worked, they decide to track down Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) to see if she has any answers.

After an emotional reunion with Maria and her awesome daughter Momica (who were led to believe that Carol was killed), Talos appears and agrees to tell Vers the truth in exchange for coordinates that will lead his people to a new home.

Yes, The Skrulls are actually the good guys, and, as Carol soon finds out, it was Yon-Rogg that killed Lawson, aka...

Mar-Vell

Yes, Lawson turns out to be Mar-Vell - an undercover Kree scientist who was attempting to create a faster-than-light vessel to transport the Skrull refugees away from Ronan and the other Accusers.

Danvers agreed to pilot the plane to Lawson's lab, but Yon-Rogg shot them down en route and killed Mar-Vell before she could destroy the light drive. However, Carol finished the job and absorbed the drive's energy after the resulting explosion, giving her powers.

It seems a blood transfusion from Rogg on top of that was enough to fake Kree physiology.

The Tesseract

Carol, Fury, Maria, Talos and Goose arrive at Mar-Vell's space lab where The Skrull General is reunited with his family and the other refugees in an emotional scene. As It turns out, Talos was searching for more than just the light drive's power source - which just so happens to be the Tesseract!

Before they can nab it, however, Yon-Rogg and his team show up and capture our heroes, and a de-powered Carol is plugged in to converse with The Intelligence.

Binary

The Supreme Intelligence has some fun flinging Carol around the place, before taunting her for being "only human." This is all Danvers needs to hear, and after a montage of the younger Carol being knocked down and getting up again, she unleashes her full power after coming to the realization that the device in her neck was actually an inhibitor all along.

Carol, in Binary form, bursts loose and kicks some Kree ass, while Talos skims one of the guards in order to free the others. Oh, and Goose - who is indeed a flerken - devours several bad guys before swallowing the Tesseract. Good kitty.

Motherflerken!

Well, if you guessed that Goose would be responsible for Nick Fury losing that eye, you'd have been absolutely right!

After Maria successfully pilots the crew to freedom, Fury picks Goose up to make a fuss of him and the little f*cker scratches his eye. Nick doesn't think much of it, but Talos knows better!

Yes, Nick will be losing that eye, and neither confirming nor denying the resulting story that The Kree burned it out under interrogation.

Showdown With Yon-Rogg

When Carol falls from Yon-Rogg's ship and plummets towards Earth, her flight powers kick in and she rockets back into space to take down Ronan's fleet with ease. The Accuser flees, promising to return "for the weapon."

Carol then returns to the desert for a showdown with her old mentor.

Rogg tells her he's proud of her before encouraging her to "drop the light show" and take him down with her fists. Carol promptly blasts him in the chest before telling him she has nothing to prove. She then sends him back to Hala with a message for The Intelligence: She's coming to bring the truth about the war to The Kree.

Costume Change

Earlier on in the movie, Carol decides that she can't sport Kree colors anymore and gets Monica to help her redesign her uniform to look more like the red and clue costume from the comics, but that's not the only wardrobe change in the film.

Back on Earth, Monica returns Carol's Air Force jacket (minus ketchup stain), and Captain Marvel takes to the skies sporting a slightly different ensemble, now able to blast through space without the aid of a helmet.

The last time we see Carol (in this timeline), she's jumping into hyperspace to find Talos and the Skrulls a new home.

The Avengers Initiative

Captain America may have been the first Avenger, but Captain Marvel inspired the name!

The final scene takes us to Fury's office, where Coulson is trying to get him to choose a new eye. Fury tells the future S.H.I.E.L.D. Director that they need to begin to assemble heroes to deal with intergalactic threats.

We then see that Nick is typing out a document titled "The Protector Initiative," but when he notices that his new superpowered pal was known as Carol "Avenger" Danvers back in her military days... well, the rest is history.

We're In The Endgame Now

As previously reported, the mid-credits scene takes place soon after "The Snap," as Captain America, Black Widow, Rhodey and Banner are attempting to figure out what's going on with the pager Fury used to contact Danvers at the end of Infinity War (she modified it and told him to use it only in an emergency before they parted ways)

Natasha tells Banner to resend the signal, and turns around to be greeted by Captain Marvel, who asks where Fury is.

So, it doesn't look like Avengers: Endgame is going to waste any time reintroducing Carol, as she'll be among the heroes when the film begins.

oh, that's Hiddleston's gf right?

Zawe Ashton as Vod was absolutely hilarious and amazing in FreshMeat. And she did dress up as Captain Marvel with Loki and Daredevil themselves. Excited if she does land the role.

@aurorsand146 - freshmeat is hilarious

aurorsand146 - 2/12/2021, 8:15 AM

@Solarkalel85 - hands down, one of the best comedy shows. I’m glad they got to finish the show instead of getting cancelled like a lot of british shows.

Solarkalel85 - 2/12/2021, 8:22 AM

@aurorsand146 - yeah you can't beat a good British comedy show

My hype for this film has been constantly increasing

WeaponXCII - 2/12/2021, 6:07 AM

With so little to go off of, I have no idea who they could be, so this is definitely intriguing.

Repian - 2/12/2021, 7:33 AM

I think the role of an actor similar to Clive Owen is Agent Paulletz from S.W.O.R.D.

Goldboink - 2/12/2021, 9:05 AM

I believe that The Red Herring appeared in Tales To Astonish #27. Didn't know he had any association with Captain Marvel but they do mix things up in the MCU.

Goldboink - 2/12/2021, 1:41 PM

@Waddles -
I grew up on the original.
