10 Major Plot Predictions For Captain Marvel

8. DeWanda Wise Will Play Monica Rambeau

DeWanda Wise's role in Captain Marvel is still undisclosed, but it wouldn't be at all surprising to see her revealed as Monica Rambeau, a character who holds massive significance for both The Avengers and Captain Marvel in particular.

Wise played the leading role in Spike Lee's Netflix remake of She's Gotta Have It, so there's no doubting her experience in sharing the screen with the film's other stars. That in itself lends weight to the theory that she could be playing Rambeau, who would later become the superhero Spectrum, in at least some capacity.

This isn't to say that Wise will throw down with Carol and get powers of her own during the feature, but having Rambeau in the film would serve as a fantastic reference to the wider Marvel lore, and open up the door for the character to potentially take on a role as a part of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the future.
