What ‘Captain Marvel’ actress will Emilia Clarke replace?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made a big announcement about recasting.
The ‘Captain Marvel’ characters are gearing up for the film’s sequel, ‘The Marvels’ and Marvel Studios has even already released the film’s trailer — but the company has released some last-minute updates that they have changed the cast.
Emilia Clark is set to take over the role of the grown-up G’iah, daughter of Talos and Soren, replacing two former actresses who played the character in the original movie, Auden L. Ophuls and Harriet L. Ophuls.
‘Captain Marvel’ hit theaters in February 2019 and grossed more than $1.1 billion at the global box office. Soon after the success of the superhero movie, Marvel revealed fans should start anticipating a sequel.
Who is in ‘The Marvels’ cast?
Clarke will be joining Brie Larson, who plays the lead character as Captain Marvel, along with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos and Keller, who will also be reprising their roles for the sequel.
The ‘Captain Marvel’ sequel has been a long time coming, having faced several obstacles in its long road to production.
The sequel was first announced in 2019. After announcing several delays, in early 2023 Marvel announced ‘The Marvels’ would be postponed even longer than expected.
Fans have been left without answers ever since — until the recent release of the sequel’s trailer, along with several casting announcements.
When will ‘the Marvels’ finally be released?
As the film’s production was delayed several times, so was its premier. ‘The Marvels’ movie has continuously been postponed.
With the original release date set to be July 8, 2022, it is now scheduled for more than a year later, November 10, 2023.
What is the ‘Captain Marvel’ sequel about?
Marvel Studios has released a trailer and synopsis for the upcoming film. The plot is a continuation of where the 2019 original movie ended.
Brie Larson’s character, Carol Danvers, who is the young woman that has a superego, Captain Marvel, has “reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence.”
“But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe,” the official synopsis released from Marvel continues. “When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.”
“Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as ‘The Marvels’,” the synopsis concludes.
