According to Variety, Jude Law is in negotiations to join Brie Larson in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie as the male lead.

Though his character is not named in the report, Law is said to be playing "a mentor of sorts to Danvers as she tries to figure out her new powers." This had led to speculation that he'll actually be Mar-Vell, who we had previously heard would be making an appearance.

The trade also confirms that Ben Mendelsohn is officially on board as the villain of the piece.

Captain Marvel is set to fly into theatres on March 8, 2019.

UPDATE: Variety has now confirmed that Law will indeed play Doctor Lawson, a.k.a. Mar-Vell - the original Captain Marvel. Apparently, Keanu Reeves was offered the role but passed.

Gotta be Mar-Vell and he is going to be in a mentor type role similar to the one in Antman

literally it says in the variety article that he's playing Mar-Vell

They updated their original article. It says he IS playing Mar-Vell, but his counterpart will be a scientist aiding Carol. So I guess as an undercover Kree scientist he will have inadvertently made Carol who she is. So it'll be a mentor/mentee relationship.

Gee I wonder who her mentor could be??? (MAR-VELL)

Mar-Vell is the role for him. I hope it's a lengthy role and not just a short one

Jude Law as Mar-Vell!? Great casting. I’ll believe him as an alien. Movie just keeps sounding better and better.

@TheUnworthyThor -
Horrible casting!! Lol

Has Marvel not heard of the Jude Law curse?? The rest of Hollywood has...

The curse is real, so I hope this doesn't happen.
