Whether Law joins the film or not (but I hope he does), this confirms Mar-Vell is going to be in the movie, which is awesome .

Not surprised Keanu Reeves turned it down. It's not his thing right now. Jude Law. Hmm. Interesting. Mendelshon also seems to be confirmed, too.

I never heard of Reeves being offered Marvel role. Except Dr. Strange years ago.

11/22: I meant I read/heard during John Wick PR, he said wasn't interested in signing one of Marvel's long term contracts but his dream gigs would be Batman and Wolverine.

11/28: Rumor is Mendelsohn is playing Yon-Rogg.

If so...called it .

I hope they can still fit in the Supreme Intelligence, he is way too important to Kree mythology to not leave out.

Yeah, I've been wondering when the MCU would get to the Supreme Intelligence.

This might explain why he wasn't mentioned at all in Guardians .

Once I saw the Watchers in GotG v2, I knew Marvel was getting deeply serious about the cosmic facet of MCU. Which lends credence to them (DISNEY) trying to get FOX. Not just for F4 characters, but even Star Wars stuff FOX still retains rights to.

11/30: Might film in Louisiana now.

 

[Magmaster12]

It's probably easier than filming a NASA base in Florida or Georgia but I'm still shuttering at the last Superhero movie made in that state.

Here's info on a casting call for the Skrulls and speculation on who they might play.

Jesus, the internet really wants to convince us they're setting up Young Avengers this week.

11/30: Well, it's about tax concerns and logistics. Filming in Louisiana is a lot closer to Pinewood in case they have to wisk Larson for a reshoot.

12/5: A new character description "Supporting Lead Male (35-59) Intelligent, but can throw a punch. Open ethnicity. Sounds like he may be tied to a well-known character" which has led to speculation of Rick Jones -- if true, oops -- cuz he already exists in the MCU in the present. He's a student at Culver University who is a known contact of Banner when he first went on the run.

 

[Magmaster12]

That's also way too old to be Rick Jones in any capacity.

I know Rick is very heavily associated with the Captain Marvel legacy but it would feel kind of weird to see him make his film debut in this instead of a Hulk movie (even though we probably were never going to see him in a Hulk movie at this rate) .

Also seems like they're casting kind of old if it's Rick, especially since he's the perennial "young sidekick" of the Marvel Universe...

 

[Yojimbo]

True, but they aged up characters before like Bucky.

And Hank and Janet .

12/5: I'd guess Michael Rossi over Rick Jones but I don't think he's well-known.

12/8: Alleged production notice reveals the official start date of January 22 in LA.

 

[reflection01]

Geez. That description could be any male supporting character in a superhero film.

 

[Yojimbo]

Ben Davis joins as cinematographer. He worked on past MCU movies like Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange.

 

[RoryWilliams]

DeWanda Wise from the Netflix series She's Gotta Have It has joined the cast.
