Captain Marvel has assembled an impressive cast but the upcoming Marvel Studios movie took a hit last night when it was revealed that DeWanda Wise has been forced to drop out due to commitments to the second season of Netflix's She's Gotta Have it. However, it's now been revealed that Lashana Lynch is in final negotiations to take her place in the Marvel movie so the project hasn't suffered much!
The English actress is best known for starring in ABC's short-lived period drama Still Star-Crossed and has appeared in Indie movies like Fast Girls and Brotherhood. Captain Marvel, however, will be her biggest role to date and she joins a cast which currently includes Brie Larson, Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, and Samuel L. Jackson (more names will no doubt be added in the coming weeks).
There's still no official word on who Lynch will actually be playing but the prevailing theory is that this role is Monica Rambeau. In the comics, she was exposed to extra-dimensional energy and gained the ability to manipulate all energies of the electromagnetic spectrum. What do you guys think of this casting alteration?
