10 Characters Who MUST Appear In Upcoming Movie Sequels
7. Monica Rambeau - Captain Marvel 2
Like Ripley, Monica Rambeau is another character who would technically be returning, though not in the straightforward manner of Snoke or Frozen’s Duke.
Her movie only came out this year, so while not much time has passed off screen, the fact Captain Marvel is set in the 90s means quite a bit of time might have passed on screen.
They may choose to have Danvers’ adventures as isolated stories, taking place pre-Iron Man et al, in which case Monica Rambeau certainly will return, but not in a very exciting capacity.
A time skip would open the door for an older Monica though, and therefore hopefully bring Spectrum into the MCU. Monica develops photon energy powers in the comics, something which makes her both a unique and incredibly cinematic choice for the MCU going forward.
Doing so would make it harder to build on Danvers’ relationship with Maria, but avoiding it would make her solo movies feel inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
Perhaps moving forward they can find a happy medium, but one way or another Spectrum surely must join Marvel’s roster of superheroes soon.
