Dragonlord's CAPTAIN MARVEL Movie Adaptation 2.0

This is my revised script for the Captain Marvel movie. There are a few major changes from the original story I made back in 2015. Gone are the numerous Avengers appearances. The main character has a more personal journey. Overall, I think this is significantly better than the first adaptation I made.

Rick Jones used to be a key Marvel supporting character sharing a rich history with the Hulk, Captain America and Captain Marvel. Thought it would be cool to finally utilize Rick in here since Marvel Studios doesn't seem to care about the character.

As for the plot summary of the movie, I tried to be brief and concise with some while others are a bit more detailed. Most of the action scenes and character development are just glossed over, leaving the imagination up to the reader.

Important: If you see a YouTube video, play it. The music is specifically designed to compliment the story. Thanks.

The movie starts with an exciting action-packed sequence involving a S.W.O.R.D. raid on a secret Skrulls base in an office building in Dallas, Texas. The Skrulls are alien shapeshifters and the bad guys for this movie. S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department) is a counterterrorism and intelligence agency whose purpose is to deal with extraterrestrial threats to world security.

Leading the raid is Captain Carol Danvers with thirty S.W.O.R.D. agents. She and four other agents, informally dubbed the “Exo Squad,” [work in progress name] are injected with an experimental enhancement serum called KRX3 that gives the recipient three times the abilities of a man in peak physical condition. The effects last only for a few minutes. Only a very select few of people in the world seem to be compatible with the serum.

Abigail Brand, a half-alien S.W.O.R.D. agent, is also among the assault team. Accompanying the raid and part of the support team are tech wizard Rick Jones and Dr. Walter Lawson, the creator of the experimental KRX3 serum.

[Play the video and just listen to the score]

The raid team encounters resistance from the Skrulls which results in a firefight. The Exo Squad cuts through the Skrulls like butter (think Captain America and Winter Soldier against normal armed opponents). A Skrull detonates a bomb which takes out a chunk of the top floor and kills several S.W.O.R.D. agents. Abigail survives the blast but is dangling on with one hand holding a steel bar while the other holding Rick Jones. A trio of Skrulls approach Abigail and Rick to finish them off.

Abigail yells for assistance. The chopper doesn’t have a clear shot at the Skrulls trio. Carol, who is on the other side of the building and out of ammo, asks what floor Abigail is on and orders the sniper from the chopper to drop his rifle on her mark. Carol's wrist watch beeps an alarm indicating that the KRX3 serum will wear off in a few seconds.

In an exhilarating action sequence, Carol runs up a flight of stairs and gives the command to the sniper to drop his rifle. She jumps out of the window. She catches the rifle in mid-air, lands on the other side of the building and shoots the Skrulls. A second later, her KRX3 boost expires.

After the raid, the scene changes to the S.W.O.R.D. headquarters where we are introduced to the insufferable asshole and head of the organization, Director Henry Peter Gyrich. We get to see Carol interacting with Rick, Abigail and Walter. She’s tight friends with Rick. There is chemistry between her and Walter but Walter never takes it further. In the locker room, Abigail thanks Carol for saving her life. Carol responds coldly and leaves. One of the girls consoles Abigail, saying to not take it personally since Carol has trust issues ever since the incident in New York.

That night, the Exo Squad and Walter mourn for their fellow comrades in a bar. They’re in a table, drinking, laughing and telling their war stories. Carol mentions her distrust and dislike of all aliens. Without missing a beat, Carol asks who is packing their weapons. The Exo Squad nods and acknowledges the ten potential threats hanging around the bar for the past 10 minutes.

Turns out their suspicions were correct as some of the bar customers turned out to be Skrull agents. After a brief shootout, all the Skrull attackers are killed. The team leave through the bar’s backdoor. Outside, they encounter more human-disguised Skrulls including Kleiser, the leader of the Skrulls forces on Earth. Kleiser introduces himself and proposes that they hand over Walter to the Skrulls and the Exo Squad gets to walk away unharmed. Kleiser explains Dr. Lawson has been a major thorn to their operation.

The Squad rejects the offer. Kleiser scoffs at them, saying they don't even know Walter really is. A shootout ensues. Two of the Exo Squad members are killed. Carol tells Walter to leave while they cover him. Walter flees. Carol gets shot and goes down. The last two remaining members of the Exo Squad put up a good fight but are eventually killed by Kleiser, who displays tremendous fighting prowess.

Carol is crawling and bleeding profusely. Walter returns with his car and blasts the Skrulls with some never-before-seen high-tech weaponry that baffles Carol. Walter gets Carol in the car and they drive away. Walter explains to Carol that she’s dying and they need to go to his nearby warehouse to save her life. Carol blacks out.

Dragonlordxxxxx · Jan 28, 2016

When Carol wakes up, she finds herself in strange, advanced state-of-the-art laboratory inside Walter’s warehouse. Walter reveals to her that his real name is Mar-Vell and he is secretly an alien from the Kree Empire sent to Earth to monitor Skrull activities. The Kree and Skrulls have been in conflict for thousands of years. Unbeknownst to the Kree Empire, Mar-Vell has been secretly experimenting ways to create human super soldiers to help mankind in their inevitable war against the Skrulls.

Suffering from extreme blood loss, Carol was given an emergency blood transfusion by Mar-Vell who is genetically congruent with her. While posing as Dr. Walter Lawson for years, Mar-Vell began screening humans who are genetically compatible with the serum and Carol is one of the very rare persons who is a match.

Kleiser and an army of Skrulls show up outside Walter's warehouse. Unable to get past the lot's hi-tech defenses, Kleiser decides to detonate a Gene Bomb. Seeing the situation from his monitors, Mar-Vell realizes that they are surrounded and can't fight their way out. Mar-Vell injects Carol with a new and more powerful but untested KRX10 serum he has been working. He puts her in his family-crested space suit and places her in his stasis pod to give her a better chance of surviving the Gene Bomb blast.

The Gene Bomb goes off and Carol witnesses Mar-Vell vaporized. Her stasis pod eventually shatters and she is also engulfed in the blast. Moments later, Carol rises from the rubble transformed. The Skrulls attack her. With a mix of confusion, anger and joy, Carol dispatches her attackers with her newfound powers. The Skrulls unleash a 20-foot war-bot but Carol prevails. Kleiser and the rest of the Skrulls escape.

A couple of teenagers capture the battle in their phones. When asked by one of the teens what her superhero name is, a groggy Carol instinctively answers "Captain..." but stops midway. She thinks about Mar-Vell and his sacrifice. "…Marvel," she finishes.

Dragonlordxxxxx · Jan 28, 2016

Back in S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, Carol is debriefed on what transpired. While waiting in the interrogation room, Carol gets a tip from Rick Jones that Director Gyrich has ordered that Carol be locked up for being a Kree spy like Mar-Vell. After fighting her way through S.W.O.R.D. personnel, Carol and Rick escape the facility with a little assistance by Abigail. Gyrich orders a national manhunt for Carol and releases to the media that she is an alien spy.

A week has passed by, Carol tests out her powers in a remote canyon with Rick Jones monitoring and analyzing her progress. Carol possesses superhuman strength, endurance, stamina, flight, physical durability, a limited precognitive "sixth sense," absorb energy and discharge explosive blasts of radiant energy. She can fly at roughly six times the speed of sound. Being a huge Dragon Ball fan, Rick begs Carol to do the Kamehameha Wave. Carol declines.

Due to the KRX10 serum and the explosion from Gene Bomb, Carol's physiology has been perfectly amalgamated into a human/Kree hybrid. Carol opens up to Rick about the irony of her condition, about how she is now what she despises the most and how her anger issues are misplaced. She narrates how she was forced to stop a bank robbery yesterday but was taken aback by the public's looks of mistrust, fear and hatred for her. The ugliness disturbs her but more so because she is guilty of the same offense.

Carol and Rick’s hunt for Kleiser leads them to another Skrull base. After defeating the Skrulls there, they find out that Kleiser is en route to S.W.O.R.D. headquarters with a Skrull army for an assault. They also learn Kleiser’s plan is to gain access to the huge Skrull Omegaship that is lying dormant hundreds of feet underneath S.W.O.R.D. headquarters. The U.S. government has been studying the ship and trying to reverse-engineer the Skrull tech for the past few years. Rick tries to warn HQ but all communications seems to be jammed. Carol quickly flies to S.W.O.R.D. headquarters.

The shapeshifting Skrulls have infiltrated S.W.O.R.D. headquarters, killing many of its agents along the way. Kleiser gets on board the Omegaship and preps it for launch. The Omegaship is equipped with fighter ships and hi-tech armory but Kleiser's true objective is the laboratory inside the ship that has been rumored to contain the Super Skrull serum. The serum is said to be a breakthrough in the evolution of the Skrull physiology, capable of shapeshifting in an instant and regenerating destroyed cells rapidly. Though the formula hasn't been perfected, Kleiser hopes to bring the lab to the Skrull homeworld for their top scientist to finally complete the concoction and create a Super Skrull army to rule the cosmos.

Dragonlordxxxxx · Jan 28, 2016

Carol arrives at S.W.O.R.D. headquarters just in time to save Abigail and the rest of the S.W.O.R.D. personnel from being executed. The Omegaship rises above the ground. It will take a few minutes for the Omegaship to charge up and be fully operational. The marines, army and air force arrive to take out the ship. Kleiser sends out his own fighter jets and ground troops to run interference.

As the battle on the ground ensues, Abigail Brand encounters two Henry Gyrichs. The two Gyrichs plead their case that they are the original and the other is a Skrull. Abigail shoots one of them in the forehead. Gyrich asks how did she know for sure who was the Skrull. She replies she didn't know. She turns around and walks away smirking.

After dispatching a few Skrulls fighter ships, Carol makes her way to the Omegaship. On the ground, Rick accesses the schematics for the Omegaship and tells Carol to go to the engine room and smash it to prevent the ship from flying out of Earth. Carol does so and the Omegaship starts to crash.

The Omegaship is steadily heading towards the nearby city. Carol gets to the front exterior of the mothership. Rick tells her even at full power she can't put the brakes on something that size. Carol says she's not trying to stop the ship's fall but to redirect it away from the city. This will be the quintessential Captain Marvel heroic scene similar to Spider-Man 2's classic train scene. After her inspirational and valiant effort, Carol succeeds in clearing the ship out of the city where it safely crashes just on the outskirts of town and saves thousands of lives in the process. Carol couldn’t get clear in time and was buried underneath the ship.

Unable to take the Skrulls defeat, Kleiser takes a potion from the ship’s lab and drinks it causing his shapeshifting abilities to be boosted to extraordinary levels. Kleiser’s 30-feet grotesque appearance is reminiscent of the alien monster from John Carpenter’s The Thing. The now deranged and murderous Kleiser rampages through the city streets, killing civilians and military personnel alike. Every time Kleiser takes damage, he just regenerates at an accelerated pace.

Rick is chased by Kleiser and eventually catches up to him and kills him. Carol wakes up from her precognition. Rick hysterically yells to Carol over the com that Kleiser is chasing him. Carol crawls out of the ground. She tells Rick she’s empty and needs an extra boost. She punches a hole in the ground and grabs the power line underneath. Rick warns her she might not survive the ordeal. She proceeds and absorbs the electricity. The entire city's power goes out. Glowing white hot and intensely bright, Carol hovers above the ground with the air around her crackling with electricity.

Dragonlordxxxxx · Jan 29, 2016

A sonic boom can be heard. Over the horizon, a shining object is moving at supersonic speed and heading towards Kleiser. Carol tackles Kleiser. The two fight all over the block. No matter what Carol does, Kleiser just regenerates.

Carol firmly plants her feet on the ground, unloads all the energy she absorbed and releases it into one long devastating energy beam at Kleiser. Kleiser doesn’t go down. He steadily walks towards the beam, towards her, regenerating at a rapid pace. Carol pours it on. She’s screaming, her eyes are bright white, her face filled with rage, pain and determination.

We see glimpses of Carol’s past. She, her husband and their 2-year-old daughter are running from a group of Chitauri on the streets of New York. The husband gets shot in the leg. He gives the child to Carol and begs her to leave him. Carol reluctantly agrees and runs. Carol briefly looks back and sees her husband stabbed multiple times by the Chitauri. She cries but doesn’t stop running. An explosion on the ground hits them, knocking out Carol and killing her daughter.

Kleiser is still walking towards Carol and is just a few meters from her. All the rage pent up over her family’s death and the guilt she feels over the years on surviving, Carol lets it all go in her energy beam. Kleiser screams and is disintegrated.

Rick is geeking out because Carol just did the Kamehameha. Carol vomits blood. Her heart gives out and she collapses to the ground. Rick yells for help and that she's not breathing. Fade to black.

Epilogue

Carol wakes up in the hospital. Rick is in the room. She has been in a coma for almost a week. After a while, Carol opens up to Rick about her deceased husband and child and how she misses them every day. She talks about her passion for flying planes before the New York incident. She quit the Air Force and signed up for the KRX3 program to quench her thirst for vengeance against all extraterrestrials. But it was just Carol's way of avoiding facing the reality of her loss.

In the aftermath, Gyrich was forced to resign as S.W.O.R.D. director due to the Skrulls debacle. Abigail has been promoted as the second-in-command in S.W.O.R.D. and their new headquarters is going to be aboard a orbital space station known as the Peak. Carol resigns S.W.O.R.D. but has become friends with Abigail. Carol tells Abigail that she needs some time to re-examine her life but if they need her, just give her a call.

Carol visits Mar-Vell's apartment. She discovers a key which leads her to one of Mar-Vell's secret lair. Carol's Kree genetic makeup allows her to bypass security. Her eyes widen when she sees Mar-Vell's spaceship capable of interstellar travel. She smiles.

The End.

Post-Credits Scene

A uniformed Kree officer walks hurriedly in the corridors. He arrives at a large room. He reports to someone unseen yet that Mar-Vell's starship has been activated. A loud booming voice interrupts him, informing him he already knows. The camera reveals it's the Supreme Intelligence, the artificial intelligence that rules the Kree. The camera quickly zooms out of the room and out of the building and settles in a panoramic shot of the Kree homeworld with thousands of Kree soldiers and war vehicles boarding a transport ship. End post-credits scene.

Dragonlord's Fantasy Casting Vol. 12: CAPTAIN MARVEL

For the 12th edition of the Dragonlord Fantasy Casting, I thought I'd try something new and come up with a story for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, which is scheduled to be released on Nov. 2, 2018.

The challenging part of conceptualizing a Captain Marvel movie is that the character is not very well-known nor is her origin story that strikingly memorable. Even her solo comic books series is dull and forgettable. On top of it all, there's a prevailing notion among many that female superhero movies don't work.

However, I do believe I have constructed a "script" for a really good origin story for Captain Marvel that will make the female heroine an instant fan-favorite. The following casting write-up and character profiles all correlate to my fan-fiction and not to the actual source material.

YVONNE STRAHOVSKI as CAPTAIN MARVEL

One of the best agents of S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department), Carol Danvers was transformed into Captain Marvel when she was mortally wounded by the Skrulls and saved by the Kree scientist Mar-Vell when he gave her an experimental serum. Ever since the NBC's spy comedy series Chuck debut in 2007, I've always thought Yvonne Strahovski would be outstanding as Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel. She has all the right stuff - beauty, height, acting, build, and action experience. The 5'9" Australian bombshell is also known for her roles in Dexter and 24: Live Another Day. She'll next be seen in the ABC drama The Astronaut Wives Club.

DEVON BOSTICK as RICK JONES

Rick Jones is S.W.O.R.D.'s resident computer genius and techie wizard. What he lacks in field experience, he makes up for it with his youthful gung-ho spirit and gumption. He would eventually becomes Carol Danver's closest ally and confidante. Rick's lifelong dream is to work alongside Captain America, which he does later on the film. Devon Bostick is my choice for Rick Jones. The 23-year-old Canadian actor just has that likable sidekick aura and he looks harmless enough that the audience won't mistakenly perceive him as Carol's love interest. Bostick is best known as the bully older brother in Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He can be currently seen in The CW's sci-fi drama The 100.

DAN STEVENS as MAR-VELL

Posing as Dr. Walter Lawson, Mar-Vell is a Kree scientist sent to Earth to monitor Skrull activities. Mar-Vell has spent years finding humans that are compatible with his KRX3 serum which enhances the physical abilities of the recipient three fold. Mar-Vell wants to help the humans in the inevitable invasion from the Skrulls. Dan Stevens is my pick as Mar-Vell. Better known as the honorable Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey, Stevens' career has been booming with a star-making turn in the well-received indie thriller The Guest and key roles in Night at the Museum 3 and A Walk Among the Tombstones.

ELODIE YUNG as ABIGAIL BRAND

Abigail Brand is one of the elite agents of S.W.O.R.D. and comes from a mixed heritage, being half alien and half human. She is also very intelligent, and fluent in many extra-terrestrial languages including several Kree and Skrull languages. A few of her peers, including Carol Danvers, look down on her and give her a hard time due to her alien nature. I've been dying to cast Elodie Yung in one of my fancasts and Abigail Brand would be perfect for her. The charming French-Cambodian descent actress was remarkable as an action heroine in District 13: Ultimatum and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

JACK COLEMAN as HENRY GYRICH

Henry Peter Gyrich is the director of S.W.O.R.D. (the Sentient World Observation & Response Department), an offshoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. that deals with extraterrestrial threats. Afraid of that which is different, Gyrich has often hindered the effectiveness of superheroes and has been among the first to blame them for society's ills. In a nutshell, Gyrich is a major tool of a boss. Heroes alum Jack Coleman has the bureaucratic look and smugness down to pat. Coleman is set to reprise his Noah Bennett role in the Heroes Reborn limited series.

RICHARD SAMMEL as HERR KLEISER

Got a link to you Capt. Marvel adaptation? I'd like to check that out.

Here's the new version of the Captain Marvel movie adaptation.

Dragonlordxxxxx · Jul 5, 2016

I've been revising my Captain Marvel movie adaptation and I think it's better than the first one that I made in 2015.

I finished working on the story since Feb. 2016 but haven't really shown this thread to the public until now. Lemme know what you think. Is it better than the first one? Thanks.

Loiosh · Jul 5, 2016

I desperately have to get to bed but I'll check this out in detail tomorrow after work and it give it my full attention.

Anung Un Rama · Jul 5, 2016

Less Avengers is an improvement (I really like the first one, too).
Opening song is perfect for a scene like that.
The only critique I have is that the beginning seems a little rushed with the Skrulls/ Mar-Vell back to back.
Perhaps the Badoon or another race could be taken down in the beginning? Then Danvers & Co. are ambushed by Skrulls so as to eliminate them before they're discovered.
Then pick up where you introduce Mar-Vell?

TheRuthlessOne · Jul 5, 2016

I'll read this in a few.

bookmarked

Bobby Boulders · Jul 5, 2016

Somehow I missed the first one.

But I will be checking both stories out. Stuff like this is really cool to me.

Thanks for the suggestion, always appreciated especially coming from you.

There is a reason though why the beginning has to be an assault on a Skrulls headquarters. 1.) To quickly establish that the Skrulls are a threat. That they have already firmly planted roots and hiding out in the open. 2.) It establishes why Kleiser and the Skrulls want Dr. Walter Lawson a.k.a. Mar-Vell dead because he is a constant thorn on the Skrulls operation. And without Lawson, the anti-Skrulls task force would not be as effective. Hence, the bar scene.

That makes sense. Diggin it.

@Dragonlordxxxxx

I like it, it feels like it has a more serious tone similar to the parts of the 1st Iron Man and the Last 2ncap movies. The only thing that sucks is that Marvel doesn't own the Skrulls because of the Stupid FOX Fantastic 4 tie in , they would be so perfect for a villain for Captain Marvel Right off the bat and I like seeing the Kree mythos expanded on.
