>>‘Captain Marvel’: Gemma Chan Joins Cast As Minn-Erva

>>EXCLUSIVE: Another piece of Captain Marvel casting has fallen into place. Humans star Gemma Chan is set to play Minn-Erva in the Disney/Marvel superhero movie that stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. Per the comics-verse, Minn-Erva (aka Doctor Minerva) is a Kree geneticist and spy.

>>Plot details are being kept underwraps for the first female-led superhero project under Disney’s MCU. It will center on Danvers, an Air Force pilot who debuted in the comics in 1968 as a human companion to the original Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell). When her DNA was fused with that of an alien during an accident, the resulting alteration imbued her with the superpowers of strength, energy projection and flight. Minn-Erva has similar powers.

>>Chan is best known for AMC/Channel4’s Humans with Season 3 due later this year. This summer, she’ll star opposite Constance Wu in Warner Bros’ adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians. Next up, Chan will be in Focus Features’ Mary Queen Of Scots, opposite Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan. She’s also in Intrigo: Dear Agnes directed by Daniel Alfredson for Enderby Entertainment and distributed by Fox. Chan is repped by Sally Long-Innes at Independent Talent Group in the UK, UTA in the U.S. and Prosper PR.

>>Also in the Captain Marvel cast are Jude Law, Samuel L Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn who is understood to be taking on a lead villain role. As announced at Comic-Con in July, Captain Marvel will take place in the 90s before other MCU films, with the green-skinned extraterrestrial humanoid Skrulls as the main villains.

>>Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing with domestic release set for March 8, 2019. International rollout begins March 6. The most recent Captain Marvel script was written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet with previous drafts penned by Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman. Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing.

>Minn-Erva
More like Ming-Erva

>fucking Minn-Erva is going to be in a movie
What a time to be alive. Hope Atlas makes it in too. They're some of my favorite recurring side characters. Wish they'd pop up more often.

She's totally getting her powers by replicating whatever accident granted Carol hers. Evil version of the hero, hot water discovered.

>Minn-Erva (aka Doctor Minerva)
mnn

oh
so she's gonna die then

>This summer, she’ll star opposite Constance Wu in Warner Bros’ adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians
Well at least she got out before they signed her on to some other horrible piece of shit

>Minn-Erva is going to be in a movie before Moonstone
What strange Bizarroworld are we living in?

>Gemma Chan
Oh gracious... S-so when's this movie coming out?

Then Mar-Vell and Carol will be the romantic couple in the movie and he will end up dying in the end

but shes doing captain marvel

Yeah the good one

Next year around March.

He's been described as her mentor.

Lol

>Gemma Chan
>Will DeWanda

Finally we have two hot women in this movie so it's worth watching.

Pretty sure that's just speculation, all we know is that Jude Law will play Mar-vell. That said I can see him being in a mentor role because he's older than Brie.

Man, they really aren't going to make a Thunderbolts movie, are they?

The only "core" member in the MCU is Zemo. Even if you extend it to Masters of Evil, its just Zemo and Klaw.

>Implying Brie isn't hot

I'm happy that Moonstone isn't part of the movie, I love her but her main powers are a bit similar to those of Carol, I don't want another evil counterpart as villain.

Sorry not into pancake ass and butterface

Why doesn't Carol use the extensive rogue gallery that KSD, Stohl and other A+ writers created solely for her instead of having to borrow Mar-Vell's.

I wonder if she'll be blue?

I wonder if she will be thicc?

She's a Kree, the Captain Marvel concept art shows the Kree as being blue and I don't think they will do the whole Pink Kree thing.

So yeah she most likely will be blue.

Geez, what’s with your hateboner for DC/WB

Plus, all the Kree in GotG were blue.

This will be Mantis all over again.

Ya know her whole purpose in the comics was to try and fuck Captain Marvel...

Mantis wasn't always green skinned

What a stupid name for a character.

Maybe if did some fucking exercise. Maybe.

People are going to complain about this being another minority actor hidden under face paint.

If Minn-Erva ends up being some kind of villain SJW will complain.

Of course they're gonna complain, the question is whether Marvel will cave in or not. They said nothing about Saldana being painted green but then again, Nebula stole Gamora's spotlight.

We'll we've only seen blue Kree thus far.

PFFF HAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHHAA

Gamora gets a bad rap. She was really cute when she was talking about Xardu Hasselfrau and how if Ego was evil she would just kill him. Reminded me a lot of Aeryn from Farscape. Too bad Saldana doesn't have Claudia Black's sexy voice.

That's totally what Minerva is going to be

We've seen at least two.

Ronan and the Kree Ambassador that Nova Prime called a Prick

Woo, as a guy with Yellow Fever it's so nice that they guarantee a token Asian character in big movies now.

Here's hoping she actually gets to do things and be in the movie longer than 2 minutes like Last Jedi.

Great Sup Forums thread

Asian character took up a whole subplot with the gambling planet

Yeah a chubby dumpy looking asian with 80% of the lines in Casino world being communist class envy.

That's not attractive.

>communist class envy.

I don't like Rose either, but that's bullshit. When did the right become so deranged that "Slavery is bad!" is seen as a communist sentiment?

>slavery

I know they covered that but I seem to remember the main thing Rose bitching about being the animals and how all the rich people there were arms dealers.

>now.
Man if only I had that asian romantic co star collage on me.

off the top of my head there's
>Starfire
>Beast Boy
>that chick from ST Beyond
>The bad guy from ST Beyond
>Electro
>Domino
>Blink (kinda)
>Triton
>Nebula

She's hot. At least she's not a nignog.

>she's not a nignog.
So this thread isn't gonna 500+ replies?

I'm near unreasonably attracted to Kelly Marie Tran. But I'm also so into frumpy plain janes that it's ridiculous.

So since this is set during the 90s, will the film reference or cameo Ronan?

So? Let them complain this isn't some indie webcomic Disney doesn't really care. This flick is gonna make AT LEAST 6 hundred million

People will complain no matter what, if she had been white it would have been "Oh another white actress why couldn't she had been a PoC" and then they would go and write some pseudo intellectual essay about how it's oppressive.

and the one in Agents of Shield
>inb4 not canon

Gemma Chan was in The Last Jedi?

The Kree in AoS are so shitty and low budget I'm glad Captain Marvel will ignored them.

CRAB PEOPLE

She's British, maybe she'll go undercover as "Jessica Drew".

>Mummy in the 2017 Mummy

But you could argue the other side.
>Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta
>Hugo Weaving as Red Skull
>Tom Hardy as Bane
>Heath Ledger as Joker
>Jack Nicholson as Joker
>Faggot guy as Emo Joker
>Ron Perlman in Hellboy
>Frasier in X-Men
>Shield guy as Thing
>Lou Ferigno as Hulk
>Rita in Power Rangers
>Nick Stahl in Sin City

I feel that every Marvel property will eventually become a film at the rate they are going. They're plowing through material at a rapid pace, especially with 3 films a year.

The problem is that Gamora is pretty much just green Black Widow.

Don't forget the "every race has a token black member" rule of the MCU. Djimon Hounsou's character was still kree in GoTG.

There were some pink people in GOTG, like Dey's family. I don't know if they were Kree, but they might be.

>Djimon Hounsou
who?

I would love if he was a minor supporting character and we see a different side to him.

This is like, the ultimate form of this meme.

This film has my legit curiosity because I have no clue how they will play it. Will it be GOTG but Dr. Strange in tone?

fucking KILL yourself you fucking carol jessica autist

No.

Pink Kree are just regular White people.

>Djimon Hounsou's character was still kree in GoTG.
That's never stated on-screen.

Never got this comparison. Black Widow is a spy and a charmer, she acts like everyone's friend. Gamora is a surly stuck-up holier-than-thou jerk. She's every bit as much an a-hole as the other Guardians.

Well at this point in the timeline, The Kree would still be at war with Xandar, and apparently The Skrulls. Perhaps their entire reason for ending the war with the Nova Corp was to focus all efforts towards The Skrulls. Would they ask the actor back? Do they care enough to reference him?

>Gemma Chan

yesssss based dommy mommy

Also Widow is like second in quips only to Tony. Gamora doesn't really quip much at all.

Who do you think they cast for her cameo?

They're never doing Kamala

Too haram

Okay, but is she going to turn into a giant cg monster at some point?

Sir I'll have you know that Minn-Erva is perfectly respectable kree name, like all of these actual kree names from marvel characters.
>Mar-Vell
>Att-Lass
>Gla-Ree
>Dea-Sea
>Hav-Ak

But also Asian, so maybe Wendy.

She was legit my top choice for Psylocke, but I'm thankful she won't be a part of those dreadful X-Men films.

Sequel.

Gemma Chan has no body to make a super hero, another miscast

>Finally we have two hot women in this movie so it's worth watching.


Hot women?
2 skeletons, m8
2 fridges
3 fridges, I forget Larson

We're getting a Ghost in A&W. Maybe we'll get a Beetle in the next Spidey.
