Wasn't she Captain Marvel for a whole year?
/shrug...though, I guess I don't consider Bullseye a "Hawkeye" so I'm indifferent

I'm just being difficult.
You should. She's pretty much the best Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell included.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
So she'll come in contact with the device during an Air Force mission and just gain powers from that. It'll be like Green Lantern, kinda.

White blondes make scrilla and piss off Slayven
Because they don't have Storm or Sue Richards.
Uhhhh, the MCU is very comic book schlocky
perfect - they are clearly going to use this movie to re-invent the character and we'll all be better off for it
😄
I made this thread knowing it was bait to Slayven. He could not resist.

So basically "She's not gonna be a drunk and we don't wanna do the whole "Mar-vell" thing".

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I hope the film is a 1:1 remake of this.
Basically. Which I kind of get because they haven't stack the deck for the cosmic universe at this point, but I'm kind of bummed out that Marvel keeps erasing any non-kid friendly flaws that these characters have.

Like I said, Marvel Studios will be making the character whole cloth for this film. There's no other way.

Who else do they have, really? Yeah they should make a Black Widow solo movie, I hope they do. Can Scarlet Witch carry a movie? Probably not, not this version. Spider-Woman = brand confusion. They aren't in a position to launch JaneThor. Or Kamala Khan.
Monica is more deserving, but they don't have the balls to make a movie lead by a black woman. Not yet.

That movie fucking sucked, no
Honestly, I'm shocked we haven't gotten a She-Hulk appearance yet.
Ally McBeal with superpowers. Instant green gold.

I hope they make her a full on Rogue expy.

I don't think they have the rights to do a She-Hulk solo movie. I think Paramount would have to be involved and that won't fly with Disney.
Wow is this true? I was wondering why we haven't seen Shulkie.
Not even a solo movie. Just have her show up in an Avengers movie. Be the "awesome lawyer" who somehow keeps them out of jail every time a building collapses because Tony Stark went on a bender the night before.
Just seems like a waste of a great, naturally comedic yet career-driven and competent female heroine.

Isn't she tied up in the Hulk rights? I know they can't do a Hulk solo movie.

I wonder if instead of Mar-Vell's girlfriend, they'll simply make her Mar-Vell. Cut out the middleman.

Monica is so pointless they haven't even bothered to kill her off yet. Her best appearance is in a joke book. She will never appear in any marvel live action media (she'll probably be in agents of shield).
All trolling aside i liked the issues where her and Carol teamed up on a boat.

How do you make a captain marvel movie without Mar-vell
Carol could be Mar-Vell.
I keep seeing this, but if they're redoing her origin and mapping her into live action, isn't it just a name? There's no reason movie version needs to be "boring"
Wtf... You can't just say something so random and not explain yourself
They said she's human, early on in that Phase 3 announcement.
Her origin is Earth-based but her powers are cosmic.

The first time I saw this pic I didn't notice that she was reading in Marvel gear.
They didn't say Ant-Man and Spider-Man would have movies in Phase 3 initially. Everything is subject to change.

I should note my comments on She-Hulk are pure speculation.
I don't see any reason to involve Mar-Vell at all. I don't think she will be Mar-Vell and I don't think they'll even reference him. Throw Mar-Vell in there and it's already convoluted as fuck, and hard to escape the comparison to Green Lantern which they just said they want to distance this from.

Uhh the origin in the first Iron Man was pretty similar to the comic book one. I think what they are talking about here is different.

Iron Man was pretty clearly the ultimate version's personality on 616 Iron Man's origin as seen through the lens of RDJ. This sounds like they are just going to scrap old Carol like they did with Starlord.

Yes and no. You're right in that they are specifically discussing the origin here and they clearly want a different take, whereas Iron Man's origin was faithful to the comics in every important way. But a lot of people have been saying for awhile now that they are going to use this movie to completely reinvent the character (which RDJ and Favreau most definitely did in Iron Man, to great success on screen and in the comics), and this seems to me like the first indication that they are moving in that direction.
I would also say the direction they are taking her in the comics is another clue that this is their strategy for the character. She's (CWII spoilers)
practically a villain now...much like Iron Man just before that movie came out.
I'd argue there are echos of Ultimate Iron Man in there, but I'd give Favreau and RDJ most of the credit for creating such a successful version of the character...so successful, in fact, that 616 Iron Man basically became RDJ's version. I expect the same thing for Captain Marvel, that's where I see a parallel.
Good point on Starlord, another successful reinvention (though not so successfully translated to comics in that case)
i guess, but i just don't see them but:
yeah. i don't think her powers will be a gift from a male character and i don't think they'll 'steal' the origin of a male character.
Her book sells reflect this

I want Star-Lord to wear that uniform.
