8 Plot Threads To Continue In Captain Marvel 2
4. Mar-Vell's Revenge
Like Jude Law, Annette Benning is a big name star who may well have been booked in for future appearances in the MCU. However, her career has more of a Glenn Close trajectory, and we’re still waiting for her reappearance following her solitary cameo in the first Guardians Of The Galaxy movie, so time will tell if Mar-Vell will get another shot.
The MCU rarely looks backwards, relentlessly pushing forward with new characters, bigger plots and even stronger foes. We know they won’t bring her back without good reason, but even though she’s dead there’s still some things left hidden about her.
When, where and why she switched sides in the war was largely brushed over to allow Danvers her own epiphany; the Skrulls were innocent all along, and the Kree the aggressors. However, with the secret engine technology it has a Cold War, double agent feel to it, one which could be hugely intriguing if explored.
Whether her role as the Supreme Intelligence gets reprised is another matter, seeing as Danvers conquered her in the third act. However, the fact she’s the one Danvers most admired means she’s essentially a mentor, and that could mean Danvers learning more if her memory returns.
