Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but why do we call her Captain Marvel at all? Isn't that kind of odd, seeing as her rank is major?
Its the mantle that she took over which is why they would call her captain marvel. Not because of her actual ranking. Gotta love aliens.
Of course we don't, otherwise these would be very short discussions.
only one true captain marvel
Not if they explain it like they did in the recent comics. Carol says, after Mar-Vell sacrifices himself to stop the Phoenix Force from destroying the Kree (him being the anchor or something because it brought him back to life), she says that he needs to be remembered, and to not be forgotten.I think that just proves that the general audience will wonder the same thing. As I said before in an earlier post, Captain America's army rank in the comics was Private, but they promoted him to Captain in the movie, and then called him Captain Rogers. People will wonder why she isn't Major Marvel if she's Major Danvers, whether or not it's a mantle or homage to Mar-Vell. It just makes it much simpler if she's a Captain in the US Air Force rather than Major. Yes, I realise Major is higher than Captain, but it would be less confusing. Besides, Captain America has never been that highly ranked in the Army and that hasn't reflected on his tactical ability and leadership.
Well, from The Avengers boards we know that not to be true
Lol! When I was writing it I was like "Cosmic, that's not true at all..." but I thought it would fly, anyway. And it would have, if not for you pesky kids...
eyond that, the company is tight-lipped about its plans. Marvel has a writing program it uses as a concept generator and has scripts for Blade and Ms. Marvel features, for example. Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Black Panther and The Runaways are other projects on the horizon. The company slowly has been reacquiring licenses to characters it lost during the 1990s, snapping up Blade, Ghost Rider, Power Man and Daredevil in the past year alone.
She's their flagship female hero in the comics and once Marvel said they're looking into female characters for a movie it's assumed the most likely candidates are Black Widow and Ms Marvel.I'd be excited if I believed anything would actually come of it.

YES, YES, YES, AND HECK YES!!!! This is what a Ms Marvel movie has to have.Some notes about what I'd like from a Ms. Marvel movie:
- Introduce SWORD. perhaps even show the founding of SWORD in response to Thor/Chitauri/Thanos. The threats of the movie should be extra-terrestrial (duh).
- Ms Marvel is a badass. At least as physically strong as Thor. Energy blasts that are substantially unique from Iron Man's repulsors/Hydra weapons etc.
- Costume is altered. As hot as she is, I'll admit Carol should have a somewhat less skimpy outfit than her classic one piece thong.
- Not too heavy focus on Mar-Vell. If they are doing Ms Marvel as a female-centric superhero flick, then do it right. Don't have a male hero character that can outmatch Carol in HER movie.
I have a feeling that if Carol gets into the movies she'll be wearing her more current Captain Marvel outfit as opposed to her Ms. Marvel outfit.Some notes about what I'd like from a Ms. Marvel movie:

I'd support that.I prefer Ms Marvel's original red and blue Kree-inspired costume the most. I dislike her current Captain Marvel costume, and particularly her accompanying hairstyle. Put her in her original costume just like in A:EMH. That doesn't look like a stripper costume like the black and gold one.
