10 Reasons A Captain Marvel Film Would Be Awesome

By Dante R Maddox /

1. The Field Is Wide Open

I think the biggest hurdle to a Wonder Woman movie is that Amazonian perfection is a bit hard to come by, and anyone €“ even a model like Gal Gadot €“ is probably going to fall short of this. The premise makes casting the movie is almost impossible, so good luck generating confidence from the most fickle group of whiners since the Spanish Inquisition (because no one expected that). But Carol, while apparently hot is no Susan Richards (within the lore The Invisible Woman is widely considered to be the bees knees) and for better or for worse Hollywood isn€™t lacking for beautiful women with talent. The quest to find Captain Marvel among the multitude of talented actresses could be what propelled the film into the sure thing category. Personally, I think that Cate Blanchett should play Captain Marvel and not because I€™m wrapping this list up and I€™m calling back to my opening, but because she€™s more than awesome, in fact I would write a top 10 reasons she€™s awesome if my editors would let me. In the end, Carol Danvers creates an embarrassment of riches in terms of potential, casting choices and ease of transition from page to screen. Somehow I feel like this list is preaching to the Disney choir, so maybe they€™ll take it as words of encouragement. Let€™s cross our fingers and hope Kevin Feige was more than hinting.
