Ms. Marvel in the works? - Part 1

[KangConquers]

Agree to disagree.

Not really any room for argument. Ms. Marvel isn't 40 in the comics, nor should she be in the films.

 

[Chewy]

I like Taylor and I think she'd be good for both the SHIELD show (if Carol's in that) and the films. Too bad she's got that new show

My Ms. Marvel Shortlist:

Abbie Cornish
Adrianne Palicki
Alice Eve
Rachel Taylor
Yvonne Strahovski

Abbie Cornish

Alice Eve
Rachel Taylor
Yvonne Strahovski

Only 2 bad choices.

And again, I'd be entirely happy with Eve, I just really want her for Enchantress.

My guess is she will need to be both hot and a good actress. Alice Eve doesnt have a big track record, but she's been good in what Ive seen her in. Strahovski is amusing on that show i never watched (Buck?), a bit more rugged.

Honestly there are plenty of actresses who could do this. Not really concerned.

I really have no problem with characters having different ages than the comics. Every adult character is 20-35 years old in the books. The MCU can ignore this. I like the idea that the characters are joining the story at different points in their life. A Ms. Marvel in her late 30's wouldnt bother me in the least. Especially if she's part of an ensemble.

I wouldve been fine with an older Black Widow. Generally, actors in their 30's are just more interesting. Wonder Woman is really the only major female hero that requires a relatively young actress.

I'm especially not worried about this, because we probably won't see Carol Danvers for a good 5 years.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

true dat. i wouldnt rule out an extended carol danvers cameo in one of the phase ii movies though. or even the SHIELD show, as crazy as that sounds.

 

[Human Torch]

Yvonne Strahovski for Carol all the way!t:

 

[Baramos]

Is there any way to call this Captain Marvel without people thinking it is about the male Captain Marvel?

EDIT: Ah, I see, Major Marvel would work, since she is a major at the beginning.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

 

[Majik1387]

Eww.

 

[Human Torch]

 

[KangConquers]

This thread is approaching the entire Ant-Man forum's post total (including the last thread) based on speculation over how much leg Ms. Marvel might show, and who will be showing that leg, in a movie that's not greenlit (or even name dropped/ discussed by the major marvel executives.)

 

[Majik1387]

Don't hate.

 

[Chewy]

We also talked about Jensen Ackles a bit

 

[Whiskey Tango]

How much leg will Ackles be showing?

 

[Chewy]

All the legs

 

[Majik1387]

And then some.

 

[Baramos]

Well the new incarnation does not show any leg, so I'd expect them to go with that one.

Especially since they seem to be going with this..."theme" for the character:

Can you come back to needlessly revealing outfits after that? I suppose it has been done before...

 

[KangConquers]

I think they'll use the Captain Marvel name just to "get there first."

 

[Baramos]

I think they'll use the Captain Marvel name just to "get there first."

I think they almost have to since they just started this "female empowerment" vibe just last month. You can't backtrack and call the character Ms. Marvel and have her showing leg for no reason after you do that.

As far as "get there first", are you referring to the DC Captain Marvel/Shazam! ? Because that guy would never be an easy sell with audiences, if you ask me...

He's a far more famous character than Carol Danvers...and they've been kicking around a Shazam movie for several years. Supposedly, it's on their slate.

I could see Marvel making the move to have that name associated with their films.

 

[Baramos]

I just can't see the audience that is used to Iron Man or the new Batman movies going in for a movie about a teenage kid who gets a magic ring that transforms him into Captain Marvel when he shouts "SHAZAM!" I for one would be making fun of it and comparing to Kazaam! immediately, myself.

I'd kind of expect them to call it Shazam, anyway, not Captain Marvel. I don't think there's been a thing with him since the '70s where Shazam! wasn't used in the title in some way or another (sometimes people just straight up call him Shazam as his name...)

 

[Human Torch]

I don't think it's impossible to have the classic black Ms Marvel costume on screen.They already have Black Widow in the full jumpsuit.I doubt they'll want to have the two female heroes dressed identically.

I really just think the best way to do this is to give Carol a copy of Mar-Vell's costume. No ****ty modifications, just the same costume. It would make sense if she wound up as the next Captain Marvel at the end of the film.
