Captain Marvel: 13 Major Questions After The New Trailer

6. Is Annette Bening The Supreme Intelligence?

Although there isn't much of her, Annette Bening's character is (sort of) revealed in the trailer, and any Annette Bening is a good thing. She speaks directly to Carol Danvers, telling her of her genesis and what the Kree had done.

The trailer doesn't reveal who she is, but it does leave one obvious candidate: The Supreme Intelligence.

In the comics, the Supreme Intelligence is an AI who rules the entire Kree race, possessing immeasurable intellect alongside a number of other powers. Of course, having a computer interface as the ruler of an alien race might not translate too well to screen, especially not when you can have Bening fill the role instead. The setting, appearance, and dialogue all suggest someone in charge and seriously powerful, so else could it be but the Supreme Intelligence?
