Ben Mendelsohn Explains Why Captain Marvel Misses Out A Lot In The MCU After Her Movie


It looks like Captain Marvel is going to be pretty intense, because Ben Mendelsohn says it's going to take a lot of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies for Brie Larson's Carol Danvers to recover from the events of her standalone movie.

The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor has been set to play a Skrull leader who's going to become Captain Marvel's opposition in the planet Talos, and during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mendelsohn decided to give a few details about Carol's journey.

According to the award-winning Australian actor, fans are going to love Carol's arc in Captain Marvel, but the fight is definitely going to take a toll on the former pilot when the film comes to an end.

"It's very touching, actually," Mendelsohn said. "I mean, you want her to win. Now, unfortunately, not every fairytale turns out that well. Sometimes you meet a Skrull. But Carol's resourceful. She's going to have a few films to get over this and maybe come back from this. We'll see."

This is definitely an interesting reveal. Fans have been wondering why Captain Marvel's been missing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for so long. Where was Captain Marvel when the Avengers needed her? Where was she when the Earth was threatened by Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) army of invading Chitauri?

It turns out that the events of Captain Marvel might force Carol to take a break – one long enough for her to miss out on a whole decade.

Captain Marvel hits cinemas July 5, 2019.
