Bringing Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe viaCaptainMarvelis a very big deal, but so is the introduction - or rather, expansion - of a certain cosmic race from Marvel lore, the Kree. At the start of the film, Carol is operating as a Kree warrior in the Special Forces-like group known as Star Force. That’s where we metJude Law’s character, the leader of the group, and alsoGemma Chan’s character, Minn-erva, Star Force’s expert sharpshooter. Yes, they’re both badass in battle, but there’s so much more to the Kree mentality and lifestyle that adds an interesting wrinkle toCaptain Marveland to the MCU overall, even beyond what we’ve already seen fromLee Paceas Ronan the Accuser andDjimon Hounsouas Korath the Pursuer inGuardians of the Galaxy.
WithCaptain Marvel’s March 8th release right around the corner, I got to chat with Law and Chan and opted to dig into their take on Kree ideology, specifically what components of their beliefs they’re drawn to most and what their characters might see should they paythe Kree Supreme Intelligencea visit. On top of that, they also spoke about their experience joining the MCU and shared something about themselves that’s so bizarre, a Skrull couldn’t even come up with it. Check it all out the video interview at the top of this article!
Here’s the official synopsis forCaptain Marvel:
Set in the 1990s, Marvel Studios’ “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that follows the journey of Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes. While a galactic war between two alien races reaches Earth, Danvers finds herself and a small cadre of allies at the center of the maelstrom.
