THE MARVELS' Star Lashana Lynch Addresses MCU Future Following Surprise X-MEN Post-Credits Scene

Captain Marvel star Lashana Lynch made her surprise MCU return in The Marvels' post-credits scene and has now broken her silence on that and how much she was told about being a member of the X-Men...

In The Marvels' final act, Monica Rambeau finds herself stranded in an alternate universe after repairing a tear in the fabric of reality. Waking up to find the X-Men's Beast staring back at her, the former S.W.O.R.D. agent is also met by a younger Variant of her mother, Maria, who is this world's Binary. 

In the comics, that mantle was held by Carol Danvers, but the nature of the Multiverse allowed Marvel Studios to come up with something a little different than Monica simply meeting a different version of her Aunt. 

With the X-Men set to make an appearance in Deadpool 3, we're anticipating Binary potentially returning there instead of being part of yet another iteration of the team.

Talking to Screen Rant, actress Lashana Lynch broke her silence on The Marvels' post-credits scene and admitted to having been largely kept in the dark when it came to the question of which world she's on (remember, she played a Captain Marvel Variant in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness).

"I did know going into the movie. I didn't know what would happen next. I don't know anything, literally. Every single increment of the character has been play-by-play, so I knew about Captain Marvel, then I knew about Doctor Strange, and then I knew about The Marvels."

"I didn't even get the script for that, I just had those moments. I know what you know, and that's it."

In the comics, Binary's story - and her connection to the X-Men - is a little complicated. When Carol returned to Earth after a tricky mission, she battled Rogue (who was working for her mother, Mystique, at the time) and ended up in a coma after the villain siphoned away her powers. 

When she woke up, Carol had lost many of her memories but stuck around Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in the hope Professor X might help restore them. Later choosing to remain with the X-Men rather than rejoin The Avengers, she became an unofficial member of the team for a time and even discovered she had latent mutant genes. 

How much of this we'll see in the MCU remains to be seen, but a Captain Marvel Variant being part of the X-Men is comic-accurate. 

"It is my hope that you will [see him again]," Grammer recently said of his surprise MCU debut. "I can say with a certain amount of confidence that you will. I would love to." The actor went on to say he'd been "very pleased" with the response to his appearance in The Marvels and revealed that "a lot of people got in touch" with him after they saw it.

"I’ve always wanted to play him again," the Frasier star concluded. "I see him as an extraordinary character, a real character of gravitas and importance in our culture. I’m delighted Beast is back and hope he’s back in a real way."

The Marvels is now available on Digital.

And now more DEI crap that almost no one wants.

Captain Marvel 3: Marvels Cubed. They will have 9 different ethnic/gender/species Captain Marvel clones in their next floperoo that no one wants to see.

Splat!

@HammerLegFoot - it's a place where you can get climbing equipment which should have ZERO place in a Marvel film. I like my superheroes to fly and not climb, thank you very much.

@HammerLegFoot - it stands for diversity equity and inclusivity.

Basically, he's saying these choices are made because Blackrock is strong arming studios like disney to push for more representative help rather than talent

@Origame - Anyone who denies this must not know about ESG scores that Block Rock uses to push hard-left topics on corporations or they will not get funding in the future.

It’s essentially a social credit score for companies.

Kind of weird how the E in ESG stands for Environment but Exxon has a higher score than Tesla does. I’m sure Exxon is better for the environment than Tesla and it’s totally not a way to punish companies for non-establishment political views.

@DocSpock - Normal white men aren't the problem lol only the ones who are actively fighting against anyone else doing things they think should be just for white men.

@Origame - "Basically" this just means you interpreted this in your own ignorant way and not in a way rooted in reality. And of course there are SOME people that blow this out of proportion...but to be on the side of history that tries to position diversity, equity, and inclusivity as a bad thing is really just bigoted fvckery.

And you wonder why you have a reputation here...
Origame
Origame - 2/1/2024, 4:07 PM
@Variant - ...no. I'm saying basically because I'm simplifying what this person is actually saying. It's called layman's terms.

I'm not even the guy bringing up DEI but am instead explaining it to someone who clearly never heard of it before.

But of course you gotta accuse me of being a bigot for explaining what someone else is talking about.

You probably get triggered by ww2 professors being such bigots talking about the holocaust 🤣

@Variant - Diversity itself isn't a bad thing. In fact we have had it for decades and continue to have it. Inclusion isn't a bad thing. We have had it for decades and continue to have it. Equity is something else though.

It's often confused with equality. It's not the same thing. Not even close. Equality is equal opportunity, (Which is something everyone with common sense wants and should demand) Equity is equal outcome. Which means merit and effort doesn't matter. If I worked hard to earn something, and another person didn't. "Current" rules means that person deserves the same thing I earned based solely on immutable characteristics

But interestingly enough these rules aren't current at all. In fact we used to call this discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality. We used to stand against it.

You can claim people are blowing this out of proportion. I don't think so. Not when Hollywood and every other major company are doing it. It's moved way past inclusion and has driven right into propaganda.

@HammerLegFoot - it doesn't. but this term gets thrown around here on this site to try to legitimize blatant "you know what" when they criticize any films that have black, lgbtq or female leads or stories oriented on such subject matter. cause they actually believe there is a conspiracy to include more diversity in films etc.

@UncleHarm1 - "actively fighting against anyone else doing things they think should be just for white men."

Literally no ones thinks this. You're presenting an argument you know is false to push your narrative.

@Variant - Iger made twice as much last year as the year before. In a year that Disney failed in spectacular fashion, he made over $31 million dollars last year. I keep telling you, he could care less if Disney dies. He is getting directly compensated with ESG money from his Vanguard and Blackrock overlords. I'm not sure how that doesn't make you see that its fake.

AvalonX - 2/1/2024, 8:59 PM
@supermanrex - The only incel is you. Iger made twice as much money last year cashing in ESG checks but you guys still think this is about supporting POC, LGBT, and Woman. As if somehow, the exclusion of an entire group of people is right in any circumstance. Since you root for it actively, the only racist is you.

@DocSpock - wow, someone intelligent on this site, along with multiple others who have replied below, who understand the agenda going on, that shoots over the head of so many who are ignorant and clueless.
My hats off to you all, for pointing out these things to those with no clue. It gives me hope that people are indeed waking up.
Thank you!

@AvalonX - you asshat mongrel. that reverse racist shit dont work with me. now tell me who the hell is being marginalized when a POC or lgbtq or woman get the nod or focus? WHO?
AvalonX
AvalonX - 2/2/2024, 9:55 AM
@supermanrex - Oh it doesn't? Sorry your feelings can't change the definition of a word. Uh, you must not have a big boy job so you don't actually know how this works. This is what happens. DEI gets put in company goals, so the same rich white people you hate get their big fat ESG checks (like Iger). Then, when hiring for example. You will be told as a manager for example, that if you have two candidates, you must pick the POC, LGBT, or woman one. The goal is met when a quota is reached. So yeah, the white male is being marginalized there champ. Same in Hollywood. Thats why these writers are starting to leak whats really going on. Its a poison. And btw, the Blackrock CEO? Yeah, white guy. Its a scam.

Terrible casting. She has no stage presence or gravitas. She just stands around and reads lines. Marvel Studios failing yet again post-2019 to create a likeable new character. (Ms. Marvel might be the only new character from Phase 4/5 that is likeable and fresh.)

Costume does look great, i will say.
marvel72
marvel72 - 2/1/2024, 2:36 PM
@GeneralZod - I would quite easily say that no new character is likeable.

All the best characters and fan favourites were introduced in phases 1-3 and I don't think there will be anymore until maybe Fantastic Four and The X-Men.

@marvel72 - I'll go out on a very thin limb by myself and declare the Ms. Marvel kid absolutely adorable.

I'm not going to watch her show or subscribe to D+ but her opening 10 minutes to The Marvels was pitch perfect for the Hannah Montana crowd and Disney [frick]ed it up and [frick]ed her over by not doing it that way.

I tapped out 10 minutes later but not because of the kid.

marvel72 - 2/1/2024, 2:49 PM
@Batmangina - I haven't got a problem with the actress but the actual character, no thank you.
