HUMANS Star Gemma Chan Cast as Kree Geneticist Minn-Erva in CAPTAIN MARVEL

Another piece of Captain Marvel casting has fallen into place. Humans star Gemma Chan is set to play Minn-Erva in the Disney/Marvel superhero movie that stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. Per the comics-verse, Minn-Erva (aka Doctor Minerva) is a Kree geneticist and spy.

Plot details are being kept underwraps for the first female-led superhero project under Disney’s MCU. It will center on Danvers, an Air Force pilot who debuted in the comics in 1968 as a human companion to the original Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell). When her DNA was fused with that of an alien during an accident, the resulting alteration imbued her with the superpowers of strength, energy projection and flight. Minn-Erva has similar powers.

Chan is best known for AMC/Channel4’s Humans with Season 3 due later this year. This summer, she’ll star opposite Constance Wu in Warner Bros’ adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians. Next up, Chan will be in Focus Features’ Mary Queen Of Scots, opposite Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan. She’s also in Intrigo: Dear Agnes directed by Daniel Alfredson for Enderby Entertainment and distributed by Fox. Chan is repped by Sally Long-Innes at Independent Talent Group in the UK, UTA in the U.S. and Prosper PR.

Also in the Captain Marvel cast are Jude Law, Samuel L Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn who is understood to be taking on a lead villain role. As announced at Comic-Con in July, Captain Marvel will take place int he 90s before other MCU films, with the green-skinned extraterrestrial humanoid Skrulls as the main villains.

Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing with domestic release set for March 8, 2019. International rollout begins March 6. The most recent Captain Marvel script was written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet with previous drafts penned by Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman. Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing.

Gemma Chan is so impossibly beautiful. I'm surprised she isn't a bigger star.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

In the age of images of beautiful women being commonplace, Gemma Chan is still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

I loved her having a main part in an adaptation of one of my favorite shows. It gave me an excuse to look at her.

So did Finn

Finn could have Russell Case’d the First Order but instead Rose intervened and almost cost the Resistance everything.

I still can’t wrap my head around it. Those aircraft were quite shoddy- Poe put his foot right through the bottom of one- whose to say you’re not going to kill both you and him when you crash into him? But it’s all good cause we save the things we love...

 

[Organic Damage]

Gemma Chan is so impossibly beautiful. I'm surprised she isn't a bigger star.

First time I saw her was in a british horror/thriller called Exam. Couldn't believe she wasn't used more.

Not sure if playing an android on a show that isn't Westworld is a breakout role, but she seems to be moving up with more US roles.

Screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet Describes CAPTAIN MARVEL as a Fun Action-Comedy

With just over a year until Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel hits theaters, the film’s screenwriter is revealing details on the tone of the superhero project that will finally disrupt the MCU boy’s club of male-driven standalone features.

Captain Marvel screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet, currently prepping for the March 16 release of Warner Bros.’ Tomb Raider reboot, tells EW the final Captain Marvel script exists in part thanks to the time she spent honing her refreshing take on the origin story of pop cultural icon Lara Croft. While the first draft of the Alicia Vikander-starring video game adaptation centered on a comedically tinged version of Croft as a teenager, the Oscar-winning actress ultimately sought a more dramatic edge for the origin story, which prompted several rewrites.

“The mandate I got when I first signed on to the project was that we were doing something much more in the tone of sort of…. a fun action-comedy,” she remembers. “My original Lara was very sassy, and then, over the subsequent drafts as Alicia gained more creative control, she wanted it to be much more serious.”

With a well of creative inspiration left over from her first stab at Tomb Raider, Robertson-Dworet began weaving her ideas into the fabric of Captain Marvel.

“Captain Marvel has a very funny voice, and it’s more of an action-comedy, more like what we were talking about doing in the first draft I wrote for Tomb Raider…. [but] that tone survived in Captain Marvel,” she explains, noting that her work on Tomb Raiderbegan in the fall of 2015, well before she boarded the MCU project. “I love funny female characters, so as Tomb Raider got more serious, I got even more committed to the idea of Captain Marvel being hilarious.”

But she wants fans to know that her interpretation of the character is rooted in the DNA of the Captain Marvel comics: “That’s not just me inventing that,” she continues. “Carol Danvers is one of the funniest comic book characters. She’s so sassy, she’s such a smartass, she won’t take sh— from anyone, and the comic books do an amazing job at capturing that voice, and it was important that the entire Captain Marvel creative team [kept to that].”

That process was enhanced, she says, thanks to Marvel’s dedication to tasking female voices with telling Danvers’ story. She specifically credits Captain Marvel co-director Anna Boden, the MCU’s first female director, who helms alongside her Half Nelsonand Mississippi Grind collaborator Ryan Fleck.

“Certainly we were writing after Wonder Woman had come out. We already saw one example of what a superheroine looked like on screen,” Robertson-Dworet says. “So we wanted to carve our own path and make sure we weren’t retreading the same territory, and showing all facets of what women are capable of.”

Specific plot details are still under wraps, though it is known that Captain Marvel will take place in the mid-1990s. Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as S.H.I.E.L.D. spymaster Nick Fury, and Humans actress Gemma Chan was recently announced in the role of Doctor Minnerva, a.k.a. Minn-Erva, a Kree geneticist from the alien race who serves as a primary antagonist in the Captain Marvel comics.

Jude Law is reportedly set to play the male lead opposite Larson. At the time of Larson’s casting in Captain Marvel‘s titular role, the Academy Award-winning Room star was to be the first woman playing a title character in a Marvel Studios film. Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s Evangeline Lilly will beat her to the punch, however, as that film lands July 6.

“I’m hoping that sassy, funny superhero [in the film] is something people haven’t seen before, and that they’re going to be excited to see in Carol Danvers,” Robertson-Dworet finishes. “A lot of the great Captain Marvel comic books really broke ground with Carol Danvers’ voice, and that’s something we want to continue with the movie.”

Captain Marvel is currently slated for theatrical release on March 8, 2019. Tomb Raider bows this March 16.

CAPTAIN MARVEL Concept Artist Assures Fans Will Be Happy with the Official Costume

Fans finally got their first look at Brie Larson on the set of Captain Marvel, and were surprised to see the costume looked unlike the character's comic book version. Like anything on the Internet, people argued over whether it was categorically "good" or "bad."

Marvel Studios' Visual Development Supervisor Andy Park, who created a lot of the concept art and designs for Captain Marvel, recently spoke with ComicBook.com about the costume, teasing that fans would be happy with the official reveal in the future.

"I think it's always funny seeing people's reaction… People are so ready to jump on and to react and make decisions so quickly," said Park. "I would just say I would hope that they would just know from the past that judging too quickly is ... How do I word this? They're going to be happy. I think they're going to be happy.

"I mean, Kevin Feige said it in an interview. We revealed the concept art that I did, myself and other artists did, of Captain Marvel at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, so I mean, I think that alone should hopefully alleviate some of those fears that people have."

The concept art previously shown to Marvel fans showed Larson as Captain Marvel, and she appeared in her classic red-and-blue costume. Though the set photos showed her in a black-and-Kree-green flight suit, some fans are speculating that Carol Danvers will get an upgrade at some point in the '90s set film.

Park said "it's too early to judge," and that he expect fans to be happy with the official reveal.

"I remember early on when people … saw the [Thor: Ragnarok] trailer, there were some fans angry 'cause they're like, 'Why is Hulk wearing armor?' It's kind of ridiculous to get angry about it without knowing the reason why, 'cause obviously there's a reason why," Park said.

"He's not wearing it to protect himself because he needs the protection. He's wearing it because he's a showman, and he's loving that people love him and worship him, so he's playing it up. Not only that, he wore it because that's what he also looked like in the [Planet] Hulk, right, in the Hulk storyline, so it's kind of a nod to that look, as well. There's always a reason why they look the way they do."

I don't necessarily care as long as it's good, but I was kind of hoping for more gritty thriller-esque territory (what with possible shapeshifting antagonists) than having it be played for laughs.

STILL STAR-CROSSED's Lashana Lynch Replaces DeWanda Wise in CAPTAIN MARVEL

Lashana Lynch is in final negotiations to replace DeWanda Wise in Captain Marvel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The English actress would be joining the Marvel Studios feature after Wise had to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts with the second season of Netflix and Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It.

Filmmaking duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing the superhero studio's first female-fronted standalone, which stars Oscar-winner Brie Larson. Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn will also star in the film, which is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury (with two eyes!).

In the comics, Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, who becomes a hero when her DNA is fused with an alien's after an accident.

Captain Marvel — out March 8, 2019 — marks the biggest role to date for Lynch, a Shondaland alum, who starred in the short-lived ABC period drama Still Star-Crossed. Lynch, who was awarded the Laurence Olivier Bursary while a student at AES, has also appeared in indie features Fast Girls and Brotherhood.

Familiar Faces From Marvel's Past Resurface as Production on Captain Marvel Begins​

Disney just announced that Captain Marvel is officially in production and the cast list contains some very intriguing and surprising names.

They are Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, and Clark Gregg, all of whom have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before. Since Captain Marvel is set in the ‘90s, features the Skrulls, and will have some kind of S.H.I.E.L.D. connection (Samuel L. Jackson is also back), it seems likely Hounsou and Pace could be reprising their Guardians of the Galaxy roles as Korath and Ronan, and Gregg could be back in action as Agent Coulson, of Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fame.​

It was about damn time!!!! Suck on that Perlmutter!!!

This would seem to indicate that the Kree-Skrull War is going to be depicted on-screen to a far greater extent than I had imagined.

 

[minute bull]

Coulson should have been in every MCU film.
