What Captain Marvel's Cast Look Like In The Comics
6. Ronan
Marvel Comics
In The Comics:
Captain Marvel took a lot of inspiration from the Kree-Skrull War, a pivotal storyline in the early 1970s that focused on Earth being caught in the midst of an intergalactic conflict. Just as he does in the film, Ronan is desperate to go to war with the Kree and is considered something of a radical.
He wears a hood, a cloak, and dresses entirely in green in that comic, before adopting a more sensible colour scheme in his later depictions.
In The Film:

Although Lee Pace has had very little to do as Ronan in the two films he's appeared in, one thing that cannot be denied is that he looks the part. The Ronan of the films is pretty much identical to the one seen in the comics, and although he takes a back seat to events in Captain Marvel, Pace still manages to convey the character's blood lust fairly well.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
