Ben Mendelsohn in Talks to Join CAPTAIN MARVEL

It seems like the rich get richer. Academy Award-Winning actress Brie Larson is set to star as the main character, legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson is set to co-star, and now esteemed actor Ben Mendelsohn is in talks to join Captain Marvel as the main villain.

The news is coming from The Wrap, and they believe that Mendelsohn could be playing the leader of the Skrulls. The film will be set in the 90’s with Captain Marvel fighting the shape-shifting aliens with a two-eyed Nick Fury. For more details on that click here. We still don’t have an official confirmation from Marvel, but it’s pretty much a done deal.

Marvel President Kevin Feige spoke with Indie Wire about their plan moving forward – after the fourth Avengers film. He mentions how Captain Marvel will play a big role in bringing the MCU’s current story to a close. We’re really focusing on Captain Marvel and the work that [directors] Anna [Boden] and Ryan [Fleck} are doing, Feige said. It’s going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years. That is a focus for the next six movies we have to finish and get out. He went on to say: Captain Marvel doesn’t start shooting until March, but Larson will appear in the untitled fourth Avengers film. Really, the focus now is on delivering Captain Marvel and then bringing Captain Marvel’s story into the finale of everything we’ve started thus far.

Captain Marvel looks to be a major player in the MCU; we can’t wait to see how it all plays out. For more news on Captain Marvel and the rest of the MCU, stay tuned.
