Captain Marvel Jude Law IS ????

[KRYPTON INC.]

Marvel seems to have dropped the whole love interest thing lately.

Have they, though? Valkyrie and Thor don't end up together in Ragnarok and Peter and Gamora don't end up together in GOTG2, but Homecoming still had a whole romance subplot with Liz and the ending made it pretty obvious they're setting up MJ to be the love interest in the sequel.

And I'm pretty sure the character Lupita Nyong'o is playing in Black Panther is a love interest as well.

The most they're doing is kinda acknowledging some characters have a thing for one or the other but there's no big kiss or sudden "let's become a thing" scene.

I just remembered that Scott and Hope ---Steve and Sharon did have a sudden "let's become a thing" kiss scene, that was a tad weird, but then they cut the Peter and Liz kiss scene, so I don't know..

Peter and Gamora were a couple by the end of GOTG2.

Strange and his former love didn't get back together. They are good friends though, I think they will remain that way. If Strange gets a love interest it would be Clea but I don't see it being mushy love.

I don't know about them dropping "romance" but I do think they tend to lose sight of their romantic plots or have been forced by outside circumstances to shelve them. I mean, look how long it took them to get Tony and Pepper married. Thor had an obvious love triangle set up but injuries sidelined Sif's actress and then Portman just kinda gave up being part of the MCU.

I do have to ask... Given that the audience really has no clue about the Mar-Vell back story will they end up presenting Marv-Ell and Lawson as two people at first and then go for a reveal?

Asked this in another thread: Given how little the audience knows of the mythos what are the chances that they present Marv and Lawson as two separate characters at first only to reveal the truth later?

 

[Mike Murdock]

I suspect they'll show Lawson first without any reveal that he's an alien. But I hope they don't spend too much of the movie on this since it's not his movie.

I guess it depends on how quickly they turn this into a "space adventure." If half the movie is set on Earth, I could see them going the double identity route and making that a "twist." However, if Carol's sent into space pretty quickly, wouldn't see much use for his Earthly identity to be a big thing.

I think it's time to merge the Mar-Vell threads.

Jude Law as Mar-Vell? He's so slight and tiny and androgynous though. I bet Brie Larson is bigger than him.

The same way the Ancient One was used in Dr Strange, several scenes of badassery and mentoring, he could be used and it not look like a Mar Vell film.

Uh... Huh...

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Plus he can bulk up even more than that if necessary.

Lol typical Raven

Lol typical Raven

That's So Raven?

 

[Iceman]

Will be interested to see what Jude can do with this.

 

[The Endless]

Great choice. Always been a great actor. I think he's another top bit of casting by Marvel. And yea he'll be on the superhero diet and work out plan now.

 

[Zarex]

I don't think Jude would have to get particularly jacked and pumped for the role. Mar-vel has usually been depicted as relatively lean as far as superheroes go.

 

[Dark Raven]

I've heard he's planning to change his name to Jude Lawson.

 

[Voltron]

I find Jude a boring actor so his casting's a no no to me.

 

[The Infernal]

Guess Jude gets to be Superman after all.

 

[Power Cosmic]

Great actor, and I can't believe I'll see Mar-Vell in the big screen!

 

[The Infernal]

Wonder what look they will go with for Mar-vell. I hope it's the blue/red version as opposed to the green Kree space marine/gladiator.

 

[Iceman]

Really looking forward to seeing how Mar-vell will look.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Blue/red anyday. Anyday. Although in 35 years I've never been able to work out Marv's mask (in particular the way Starlin drew it) - like how did he get his sideburns over his mask?

 

[flickchick85]

Gotta be blue/red.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah I would be dissapointed if we didn't see Blue red. Plus it explains Carol's outfit

 

[The Infernal]

I'm on the same page as you guys. Wouldn't mind seeing Kree soldiers dressed similarly to the second puc though.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder how he will play it? I always thought the 616 captain marvel was brash and cocky but the ultimate version was more alien and still. I would imagine if they got Law they would go for the latter
