Carol’s an awesome character and Brie Larson is a great actress who both deserve the right quality script to be done proper justice onscreen. And a third film could do this very well, while also adding a unique dynamic with Rogue and introducing characters from the X-Men’s lore that have never been adapted in live-action beforehand.

As of now, we have no idea whether Inde Navarrette’s Rogue is gonna start out as a villain like she does in the comics or already be an established X-Man. But if she does start out as a villain, then a third Captain Marvel film could involve a fight between her and Carol that takes them into space. And at one point, Rogue holds onto Carol a little too long and absorbs all—if not most of—her powers (but not any of her memories since Carol already dealt with those issues in her previous films).

Their fight could take them into Shi’ar territory and find themselves up against Gladiator. Carol can barely fight back while Rogue doesn’t have a great handle on her newly absorbed powers. They’re both captured and thrown into prison by the Shi’ar Empire’s corrupt leaders D’Ken and Deathbird, where they meet Corsair, Ch’od, Raza Longknife and Hepzibah. It could basically be a cosmic prison break movie where all of them team up to escape the Shi’ar.

But the crux of the movie would be about Carol struggling to be as effective without the majority of her powers. And this would give Brie Larson so much more to work with as an actress as she’d be able to make Carol more vulnerable and relatable than she has previously. This could then lead to a fun dynamic with Rogue, who would have all of this power but none of the experience with them or the means of using them for good. Thus the two of them would learn from each other and go from enemies to begrudging allies, and it would certainly be fun to see Inde Navarrette and Brie Larson play off of each other.

This movie would also be a great way to introduce both the Starjammers and the Shi’ar Empire as prominent supporting characters of the X-Men going forward, both to build up to the reveal of Corsair being Cyclops’s dad and Prof. X’s potential romance with Lilandra Neramani (who would take her rightful place as Majestrix of the Shi’ar at the end of this film).

Any thoughts on this idea?

Elordi’s a little young for the role currently at 29 but could age into being a good fit while Egerton’s at a good enough age (36) to better suit the role. That being said, both have the right kind of look (Egerton especially), acting chops and action experience for Sgt. Rock and he’s one of those actors who would likely require a big name actor to sell him to most mainstream audiences. And either actor would likely be more drawn to playing a war hero than an outright superhero.

Wasn’t definitive on either of them at the moment but thought that I would throw these picks out there out of curiosity. Any thoughts?

He’s shown that he can play characters who are intelligent, charismatic, arrogant and ruthless; CC has all of those qualities in spades and Rob would have an absolute blast in the role, regardless of whether it’s in line with the over-the-top version from the original cartoon or the more threatening version from the comics/G.I. Joe: Resolute (or a mix of all three). And his skill with voices/accents ensures that he’d do justice to CC’s iconic voice.

Of course there’s no telling if Rob would actually be available to play CC in the upcoming G.I. Joe reboot on top of any other commitments, but he’d kill it nonetheless. Any thoughts?

All of the previous DCU projects have used it so far I believe, but it’s just something that’s come to my attention. Not sure if it would be because of the show’s tone even though the other projects have used even though they differed in tone.

Just piqued my curiosity really. What does everyone else think?

Haven’t decided on the castings for every single prominent character, but these were the ones that I was definitive on at the moment.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Erik Lensherr/Magneto

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Raven Darkholme/Mystique

Connor Swindells as Hank McCoy/Beast

Sam Nivola as Bobby Drake/Iceman

Matt Wood as James “Logan” Howlett/Wolverine

Fina Strazza as Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat

Antony Starr as John Summers/Corsair

Jack Black as Mojo (voice and mo-cap)

Anne Hathaway as Lilandra Neramani

Michael C. Hall as Rev. William Stryker

So here was my initial idea: Rogue could be a villain of a potential third Captain Marvel film or perhaps in a Civil War-style loose adaptation of Avengers vs. X-Men where she accidentally drains Carol’s powers (and parts of her psyche) from her, but this would not put Carol in a coma. She’d be weak but fueled by anger over what Rogue did to her.

Horrified by what’s happened to her, Rogue goes to the X-Men for help and they take her in (reluctantly in the case of certain members) followed by Carol and the other Avengers confronting Prof. X and the others over Rogue’s actions. Carol’s angry but she and other members want this issue addressed and want Rogue to come with them. The X-Men refuse, one thing leads to another and they’re all at each other’s throats. They find out that Mystique or another villain/villains were manipulating them and both teams put their differences aside to defeat this threat, leading to some form of reconciliation.

Obviously there’s the issue of Carol being sidelined and de-powered which could be controversial if handled poorly, though it could provide internal and external conflict for Rogue. But it’s possible that Rogue will be established as an X-Man and either has her powers already or had a less traumatic incident with Carol that led to these powers and the two have a mutual understanding. And the whole Avengers vs. X-Men issue might already be covered in Avengers: Doomsday so they might not wanna go through that whole conflict again.

It’s hard to say how much attention the Eternals will get going forward outside of the comics because of their MCU film being unsuccessful. While I personally didn’t love the movie in spite of some highlights (though everyone’s entitled to their opinion of course), the Eternals are still interesting as characters and I wouldn’t mind seeing another go at them outside of the MCU’s canon.

An animated series could be a cool vehicle for them, though it kind of depends on the story/stories that are being told over a number of episodes/seasons or how possible it might be to make those kinds of stories work.

Theoretically, it could probably incorporate the vibrant colors and designs from Jack Kirby’s original run, the initial memory loss narrative device from Neil Gaiman’s run, and the complex existential aspects of Kieron Gillen’s run to make for something that’s rather unique.

But what do you guys think? Could an Eternals animated series work in the right hands in your opinions or not quite?

Samara was one of the first main contenders for the role alongside Rachel, Emma Mackey and Phoebe Dynevor. She’s definitely got the sarcastic humor and presence for Lois and previously worked with David Corenswet on the Netflix series Hollywood but things absolutely worked out for the best. Rachel’s perfect as Lois and Samara will no doubt be perfect as Emma when she makes her awaited MCU debut.

Also hoping that Emma Mackey and Phoebe Dynevor get DCU or MCU roles at some point.

Saw his name thrown out for the role on another post and honestly think that he’d be a great fit. He’s obviously a phenomenal actor in general and there’s no shortage of roles that he’d be great for. But he’s got the right look, charisma and grit for Rock as well as previous war movie experience thanks to Jarhead. And he’s a big enough name for the possible film to draw in audiences who would be otherwise unfamiliar with the character.

What does everyone else think?

He’s already got the martial arts and sword fighting experience required for either role and can handle large action set pieces effortlessly (as shown by this incredible fight scene from One Piece season 2).

Any thoughts?

He’ll hopefully do videos on both Wonder Woman films, but Wonder Woman 1984 is an absolute goldmine of atrocity and seeing him tear it apart would be glorious to watch.

And this isn’t meant to come off as an “Oh now that so-and-so has joined this franchise, that means that their friend/partner/frequent co-star etc. has to join this franchise also” kind of post. It would be cool to see Zoey join Jimmy of course but she’s insanely talented in her own right and could lend her versatile acting chops to a number of characters. Zatanna could possibly be in her wheelhouse for example.

Any thoughts?

She’s got the right look and a fitting accent for the role, as well as the seductive and cunning nature that The Baroness is known for having. Obviously it would come down to whether Lera can juggle her One Piece schedule with the shooting schedule for this upcoming film, but if so then she would be a standout as our favorite femme fatale alongside the other iconic members of Cobra.
