that is interesting indeed. I alwasy thought there was enough of a difference between Shazam and Superman to warrant having both characters.

Well the market wasn't as saturated with superheroes or Superman Allegories back then so you had a Guy with Black Hair square jaw and some red in his color scheme with a similar skill set and you could see why DC felt defensive.

Add in the fact the he was outselling Superman (and everyone else) and you have all the ingredients to run someone out of the superhero business.

"But what that legal ruling overlooks is the fact that DC was so threatened by Captain Marvel, more than anyone else (like these other guys they sued), because Captain Marvel actually outsold Superman for a while, even being the first superhero to come up with his own movie serials. (To this day, they're considered the best of the serials by many experts.)"

Shazam is a much more interesting character than Superman and Shazam is also a better name for him than Captain Marvel.

At least with Marvel's Captain Marvel it made sense as it was based on a military rank.

I really hope they introduce the Kree in this.
I think Brie is a quality actress, but she might be too adorable. I always picture Marvel as a leggy knockout like every single other female character in the Marvel Universe.

Which is messed up because Namor was the first flying brick technically.
 
Brie Larson just walked on the stage at the Marvel Studios Comic-Con panel.

She is officially playing Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel.
 
I'm happy with this choice. I would have rather had Emily Blunt, but Brie is a decent sub.

Thank God it's not fucking Ronda. THANK GOD!!!

It's Official: Brie Larson Cast as CAPTAIN MARVEL; New Official Logo

It's official: Brie Larson is reporting for duty as Marvel's first leading lady, Captain Marvel.

The Room actress, who appeared in Comic-Con's cavernous Hall H earlier on Saturday to promote Warner Bros.' Kong: Skull Island, made an appearance during Marvel's evening presentation to confirm reports from last month that she will play Carol Danvers in the 2019 movie, an Air Force pilot who gains powers after her DNA becomes fused with an alien after an accident.

Captain Marvel has had a meteoric rise as a comic property since a 2012 reinvention by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, which saw Danvers (who had previously gone by the name "Ms. Marvel") find new direction and new respect as a superhero and member of the Avengers. The relaunch inspired much fan devotion, which fueled demand for the character to become the star of Marvel's first female-led movie.

The movie, which has a script by Guardians of the Galaxy's Nicole Perlman and Inside Out's Meg LeFauve, was originally announced with a July 2018 date, but was later shifted back to a March 8, 2019 release.

Comic-Con: Brie Larson Confirmed to Play Captain Marvel
 
The Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel logos are weak. Especially compared to the awesomeness of the Ragnarok & Vol 2 logos.
 
Thank goodness it's not Ronda Rousey! I vaguely remember the Ms. Marvel logo looking nice... as well as the wedgie bodysuit costume.
 
I can live with the confirmation of the casting. Brie does good work.

This Brie girl is alright, I guess. Her face kinda bothers me, reminds me too much of the girl with the scrunchie from Napoleon Dynamite. But Ms Marvel is a kickass character, so I'm sure it'll work out no matter who they cast.
 
Her stature is only thing that worries me. Shes an amazing actress with the chops to pull it off, but Carol Danvers is not a slight woman, she's able to physically match most Marvel men and is never depicted as being short.

With the timing of her announcement, I'd wager we see her introduced in P1/P2 of Infinity War.
