Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 New Rumours & Leaks You Need To Know
3. DeWanda Wise Has Reportedly Joined Captain Marvel
Among the new faces that could pop up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during Phase Four is that of She's Gotta Have It star DeWanda Wise. According to the ever-reliable Deadline, she's been cast opposite Brie Larson in Captain Marvel.
There's no word on who Wise is playing, but Monica Rambeau - a cosmic heroine who goes on to become a key member of the Avengers in the comic books - seems to be the most likely candidate.
Captain Marvel will be Marvel's first attempt at a female-led superhero movie, and it will serve as a prequel of sorts to the other MCU films, taking place during the 1990s, a time when Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury had two eyes.
Jude Law will play the male lead, Mar-Vell, and Ben Mendelsohn has been cast as the big bad, Kree military officer Yon-Rogg. The shape-shifting Skrull are also expected to cause Larson a few problems in the movie, and their introducing could even pave the way for an adaptation of Marvel Comics' classic Kree-Skrull War event.
