Captain Marvel Directors Talk About What A Goose Spinoff Would Be Like


Brie Larson might have been the leading star in Captain Marvel, but somehow, Carol Danvers' cat, Goose, managed to steal the Avenger's thunder. A cute little scene stiller, Goose the Flerken became one of the most popular and most discussed characters in Captain Marvel.

Fans just can't get enough of Goose, so much so that some have started petitioning for a Goose spinoff movie on social media. Though it might take a while for Marvel to announce new projects after Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden talk more about Goose, her capabilities, and what would it be like if they explored a spinoff movie centered around the feline.

Speaking in an interview with Empire's podcast, Boden and Fleck were both asked whether Goose was always part of the plan in Captain Marvel.

"Definitely always. It was one of the very very first ideas when we were all getting in a room together with the guys at Marvel and our co-writer," Boden explained. "We were throwing ideas on a blackboard with no idea what the structure of the story is gonna be, just like what might we want to see from the comics in this movie, that was definitely one of like the very top things we always wanted to see in the movie. It's so awesome in the comics. I mean...a cat...who's a Flerken...who has pocket dimensions? I mean that is, there was no way that wasn't going to end up in this movie."

Fleck then went on to suggest what kind of Flerken sequel he'd like to have, saying that he'd love to explore the insides of a Flerkin (the alien race has pockets of space and time hidden inside them), envisioning a comedic scenario between Goose and Talos.

"I wonder what goes on inside. Like you said if there were a spinoff, maybe we go inside the Flerken. Like what if Talos got sucked in and then you could spend time with a Flerken and Talos," the director imagined. "It's what he feared all along, that he was going to end up in pocket dimensions inside that Flerken."

There are a whole lot of possibilities that can be explored, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige doesn't mind the idea of a Goose spinoff series on Disney+ exploring the Flerken's origin. After all, the studio's already working on a number of series for Disney's upcoming streaming service, so why not one about Captain Marvel's cat?

Captain Marvel is currently screening in cinemas.
