>>‘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.
>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.
Ian Brown
She's totally getting her powers by replicating whatever accident granted Carol hers. Evil version of the hero, hot water discovered.
Camden Turner
>Minn-Erva (aka Doctor Minerva) mnn
oh so she's gonna die then
Josiah Allen
>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
Bentley King
>Minn-Erva is going to be in a movie before Moonstone What strange Bizarroworld are we living in?
Zachary Morgan
>Gemma Chan Oh gracious... S-so when's this movie coming out?
Jack Parker
Then Mar-Vell and Carol will be the romantic couple in the movie and he will end up dying in the end
Isaac Lee
but shes doing captain marvel
Parker Nguyen
Yeah the good one
Matthew Gonzalez
Next year around March.
Jordan Cruz
He's been described as her mentor.
Leo Long
Lol
Andrew Wright
>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.
Carter Morgan
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.
Levi Allen
>Implying Brie isn't hot
Parker Morgan
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.
Alexander Gray
Sorry not into pancake ass and butterface
Jack Cox
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.
Eli Martinez
I wonder if she'll be blue?
Landon Perez
I wonder if she will be thicc?
Jose Hughes
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.
Jackson Lewis
Geez, what’s with your hateboner for DC/WB
Aaron Ramirez
Plus, all the Kree in GotG were blue.
Charles Cooper
This will be Mantis all over again.
Luis Martin
Ya know her whole purpose in the comics was to try and fuck Captain Marvel...
Jack Sullivan
Mantis wasn't always green skinned
Henry Reed
What a stupid name for a character.
Oliver Sullivan
Maybe if did some fucking exercise. Maybe.
Isaac Hughes
People are going to complain about this being another minority actor hidden under face paint.
Jayden Garcia
If Minn-Erva ends up being some kind of villain SJW will complain.
Isaac Allen
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.
Asher Moore
We'll we've only seen blue Kree thus far.
Henry Sullivan
PFFF HAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHHAA
Jaxson Bennett
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.
Caleb Sullivan
That's totally what Minerva is going to be
Dominic Morris
We've seen at least two.
Ronan and the Kree Ambassador that Nova Prime called a Prick
Aaron Nelson
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.
Jose Wood
Great Sup Forums thread
Ryder Hughes
Asian character took up a whole subplot with the gambling planet
Caleb Jenkins
Yeah a chubby dumpy looking asian with 80% of the lines in Casino world being communist class envy.
That's not attractive.
Jackson Taylor
>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?
Juan Young
>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.
John Allen
>now. Man if only I had that asian romantic co star collage on me.
Adrian Allen
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
Tyler Flores
She's hot. At least she's not a nignog.
Carter Brooks
>she's not a nignog. So this thread isn't gonna 500+ replies?
Blake Campbell
I'm near unreasonably attracted to Kelly Marie Tran. But I'm also so into frumpy plain janes that it's ridiculous.
Nicholas Davis
So since this is set during the 90s, will the film reference or cameo Ronan?
Jeremiah Perez
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
Chase Jenkins
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.
William Adams
and the one in Agents of Shield >inb4 not canon
Dylan Rogers
Gemma Chan was in The Last Jedi?
Oliver Hall
The Kree in AoS are so shitty and low budget I'm glad Captain Marvel will ignored them.
Isaiah James
CRAB PEOPLE
Liam Howard
She's British, maybe she'll go undercover as "Jessica Drew".
Christopher Hall
>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
Leo Gutierrez
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.
Christopher Cooper
The problem is that Gamora is pretty much just green Black Widow.
James Cox
Don't forget the "every race has a token black member" rule of the MCU. Djimon Hounsou's character was still kree in GoTG.
James Rodriguez
There were some pink people in GOTG, like Dey's family. I don't know if they were Kree, but they might be.
Logan Walker
>Djimon Hounsou who?
Jacob Peterson
I would love if he was a minor supporting character and we see a different side to him.
Eli Williams
This is like, the ultimate form of this meme.
Carson Wright
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?
Carson Cooper
fucking KILL yourself you fucking carol jessica autist
Hunter Price
No.
Sebastian Powell
Pink Kree are just regular White people.
Juan Sanders
>Djimon Hounsou's character was still kree in GoTG. That's never stated on-screen.
Alexander Gomez
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.
Brayden Powell
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?
Andrew Nelson
>Gemma Chan
yesssss based dommy mommy
Ian Russell
Also Widow is like second in quips only to Tony. Gamora doesn't really quip much at all.
Caleb Cruz
Who do you think they cast for her cameo?
Xavier Morgan
They're never doing Kamala
Nathan Rogers
Too haram
Eli Roberts
Okay, but is she going to turn into a giant cg monster at some point?
Hudson Stewart
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
Ryder Morales
But also Asian, so maybe Wendy.
Carson Bennett
She was legit my top choice for Psylocke, but I'm thankful she won't be a part of those dreadful X-Men films.
Hudson Evans
Sequel.
Juan Garcia
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
Anthony Rodriguez
We're getting a Ghost in A&W. Maybe we'll get a Beetle in the next Spidey.
