Rogue One’s Ben Mendelsohn in talks to play Captain Marvel’s villain

There’s no word yet on which villain. With Marvel’s track record, I would expect him to play “Captain Marvel, but evil,” or “Evil Army Guy,” though he also looks exactly like a principal, so there’s that possibility, too. My real hope is that he’s a secondary villain and that the movie uses the opportunity to bring in the Marvel alien race called the Skrulls. But, again, Marvel’s track record indicates that he’ll just play a generic evil guy.

Even so, I’m glad to see news trickling out for the movie, just to continue to remind us that it exists and is really happening.

Captain Marvel is set to release shortly before Avengers 4. The first comes on March 6, 2019, while the latter drops two months later on May 3.
