What Captain Marvel's Cast Look Like In The Comics

1. Goose

Captain Marvel Chewie

In The Comics:

For starters, the Goose of the comics isn't actually called Goose. They're actually called Chewie (in reference to Star Wars' Chewbacca) and though they too resemble your average ginger tabby, they're also secretly a Flerken.

In the comics, Carol doesn't actually find out that her pet is of alien origin until she encounters the Guardians of the Galaxy, with Rocket Raccoon the first to display the same kind of fears Talos does in the film.

It might even be possible, however, that Chewie gets introduced in a sequel. Could Goose be their mother? Time will only tell.

In The Film:

Captain Marvel's Goose is a veritable scene-stealer from start to end, and though they don't get up to any egg laying, they possess all the tentacles and pocket dimensions the Flerken of the comics have too.

Goose was actually portrayed by several different cats, and a buttload of CGI. Still, one did at least manage to attend the Captain Marvel premiere, and even dressed up for the occasion.

Unlike in the comics, where Nick Fury loses his eye to a grenade, Goose is revealed to be the one responsible in the MCU. They also end up vomiting the Tesseract onto Fury's desk, although their whereabouts in the run-up to Endgame is anyone's guess.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
