With the recent announcements concerning Phase Two of the Marvel Universe, many fans are wondering what Avengers they’ll see in the sequel to the blockbuster film, when can we expect to see them and how? Some of the highly speculated team members have been Black Panther, Ant Man, Wasp, and Vision just to name a few. The interesting aspect about all of these potential team members is that they can easily transition into the sequel without needing their own film, well besides Ant-Man but we know that is in the works.
Yesterday however, an interesting rumor hit the internet regarding a potential new member to the team in the sequel and it’s one that doesn’t make much sense. The Daily Mail is reporting that Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are currently being considered for the role of Carol Danvers aka Ms Marvel. Now before you get excited about this news, lets stop and think about this for a minute, because there are some flaws with this announcement.
First off, The Daily Mail doesn’t have the best track record for casting announcements, however, they have been right a few times in the past and these actresses do sound like legitimate contenders for the role if it does exist. Second lets really sit and think about the character Ms. Marvel and her history. Carol Danvers worked for the C.I.A and N.A.S.A and eventually came into contact with one of the Kree known as Mar-Vell (Captain Marvel). The two end up becoming romantically involved, which causes Carol to be kidnaped by another Kree warrior. There is an explosion of a Kree Psyche Magneton whch causes Carol’s genes to mix with Mar-Vell’s giving her all the powers and knowledge of a Kree while still being a human.
As you can see from the brief history lesson, there are some major story issues that would need to be addressed between Iron Man 3 and The Avengers 2. The major one would be that the Kree need to somehow be introduced into the Marvel Universe. This could be accomplished with Guardians of the Galaxy however will there be enough time to introduce both Galactus and the Kree? And what about the Skrull’s? We can’t have Kree without the Skrull’s because this is the main reason for the Kree coming to earth. Again this could be addressed or taken care of in Guardians somehow.
The next major issue is that we somehow need to be introduced to Mar-Vell and the events that transpire between him and Carol would need to happen fairly quickly and her transformation would need to happen before the end of the film I would imagine. What could happen is this transformation could take place during the entire film, and then at the end Ms. Marvel would be born.
So as you can see there are some major plot laws with this announcement, however with the way Marvel is heading with their films, these could be taken care of over time. I’m all for a Ms. Marvel character and introducing her would open an entire different story line that could take place with Phase Three. And lets be honest, who wouldn’t want to see anyone in the Ms.Marvel costume!?!?!?
