Yon Rogg`s revelation also came after Annette Bening admitted on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that she portrays the Supreme Intelligence in the film – the leader of the Kree empire. Law also admitted that all members of Star Power have their own relationship with the Supreme Intelligence. In November of last year, it was reported that Jude Law was in talks to play the male lead in Captain Marvel, and he was originally slated to play Dr. Walter Lawson, aka Mar-Vell, Carol Danvers` mentor. In the comics, Mar-Vell was the first Captain Marvel, and Carol adopted the codename in his honor. Yon-Rogg is not a good guy at all. He began his career in the Kree Army as a colonel. After Mar-Vell (again the original Captain Marvel, not Carol Danvers) started becoming the star member of the military, Yon-Rogg became very jealous and did everything in his power to ruin his rival. He sends Mar-Vell to Earth, which is considered a planet of backwoods, as a kind of punishment.

With all this, you might be wondering how there is a character named Mar-Vell in a Captain Marvel comic. As the release of Captain Marvel approached, there was confusion as to who exactly Jude Law would play. This did the film no favours. Marvel has already confirmed that the plot of Captain Marvel is inspired by the Kree-Skrull war. Considered by critics to be one of the best comic book arcs of all time, writer Roy Thomas launched an arc in The Kree-Skrull War in which Earth was caught in the crossfire between two warring alien races. In an epilogue for the Omnibus edition, Thomas admitted that the arc was inspired by World War II. He imagined the Kree and Skrulls as two “predatory, galaxy-wide races involved in war, and that their conflict would spill over to Earth and turn our planet into the cosmic equivalent of a Pacific island during World War II.” Thomas avoided treating both sides as heroes and instead portrayed both races as equally monstrous. After months of speculation about who would play Jude Law in Captain Marvel, Marvel itself has confirmed that he will play Yon-Rogg. When the cast of Marvel Studios` latest superhero movie was announced, all actors were given character names. All but one. Jude Law was chosen, but Marvel never explained exactly who he was supposed to be in the film.

Fans (and some movie journalists) have widely speculated that Law would play Mar-Vell, aka OG Captain Marvel. I felt like it would be one of those “worst-kept secrets,” like starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan in “Star Trek Into Darkness.” If the identity of Jude Law`s character wasn`t a surprise, Marvel Studios would have released him by now. However, thanks to his secret, it seems increasingly likely that he won`t play Mar-Vell – but there`s another Kree who fits in: Yon-Rogg. By casting Law as Yon-Rogg, Captain Marvel could establish a layered antagonist who has a complex relationship with Carol Danvers for a possible sequel. Even if she fights the Skrulls, Carol could be at war with one of her closest friends and allies. it certainly wouldn`t be a first for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You only have to wait until March 2019 to be sure. Originally, the trademark for the Captain Marvel name belonged to Fawcett Comics and was associated with a completely different character.

Fawcett stopped publishing in 1953, which led Marvel Comics to protect the name in 1967 and continue to publish comics under the name in order to retain the brand. Tom Bacon is one of Screen Rant`s employees, as well as a mentor to new writers, and a member of the Care team, which provides support and listening to members of the Comics group. A longtime fan of major franchises like Star Wars, Doctor Who and Marvel, Tom is thrilled that his childhood is back – and this time it`s cool. You can find it on Twitter @TomABacon. A graduate of Edge Hill University, Tom remains closely associated with his alma mater as a volunteer chaplain. He is heavily involved in his local church, and anyone who consults him on Twitter will quickly learn that he is also interested in British politics. To preserve the brand, Marvel continued to produce Captain Marvel comics with various characters adopting the name, including Carol Danvers – who remains Captain Marvel to this day. If Yon Rogg`s revelation is true, it could be a huge plot point for Captain Marvel; However, if it was so crucial to a mystery that leaks like this would completely spoil the movie, I can`t imagine Marvel letting those details come out into the world, Funko POP! or not. This is the studio that never allowed the Infinity War actors to see the entire script, and is known for creating fake scenes to deter people from the real smell of the story. If Law Yon-Rogg is, it`s important, but probably not a “I`m your father” moment. But from my perspective as someone who follows movie news closely, it would have made more sense not to start so much speculation about Law`s role.

Leave him as “Kree Starforce Commander”, and I would have been really surprised if he was the villain all along. The canon of Captain Marvel comics is well known to its followers, but it seems to me that Dr. Lawson`s revelation – while great – didn`t require as many excuses. Looking at new information about Captain Marvel, it seems increasingly likely that Jude Law isn`t playing Mar-Vell after all. An encounter with the villain Nitro eventually led to Mar-Vell`s death when he was exposed to a gas called compound 13, which caused him to develop cancer. His Nega groups — formed by the Kree — helped him survive for several years, but without access to advanced Kree medical assistance, Mar-Vell died in Marvel`s first graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel (1982). Although there have been initial reports that Law was chosen as Mar-Vell, it is interesting to note that they have never been officially confirmed. Shortly after being chosen, Law went to great lengths to avoid a direct response. “Yes, it has been reported that I play Mar-Vell,” he remarked. “I will not confirm or deny this.” Moreover, he immediately changed the subject. At the time, Law`s restraint seemed strange. But now that the marketing campaign for Captain Marvel has finally begun, it`s becoming clear that Marvel intends to be just as secretive about Law`s character.

Over the years, Yon has been a thorn in Mar-Vell and Carol`s side, which he accidentally found in Ms. Marvel turned into causing the accident that fused its DNA with Kree genetics.
