    Hopefully she gets out of the internet shit show that Bree Larson stepped into, but casting has always been consistently good in MCU properties, so I trust she can do the job.

    I’ve only dipped my toes into comics but isn’t the current Captain Marvel technically Ms. Marvel? Did Thanos already kill Mar-Vell in the MCU timeline off screen?

        The MCU kinda does its own thing so I’m always little lost with how it compares to the comics since I’m not an expert.

          Danvers was never Ms. Marvel in the MCU.

          Mar-Vell was an undercover Kree scientist who worked with Carol Danvers on Earth before Carol was abducted. Carol worked with her with the Tesseract/Space Stone/Magic Box, got her powers when she poked it too hard, and then was abducted by Kree forces that killed Mar-Vell, had Carol's mind wiped, but she eventually made it back to Earth and took up the name Captain Marvel because she was Air Force and wanted to honor Mar-Vell.
