When they started talking about Captain Marvel I figured they were going to go with the Carol Danvers version of the character. Which they confirmed casting Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. However, I kept thinking you can't really do her story without Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. This alien of the Kree race was my Captain Marvel. Though I say mine loosely, I only read a little Captain Marvel, he also popped up in a lot of titles I read at the back then. Since the mantle has been passed on to Carol I haven't followed Captain Marvel that much at all though, save crossovers. She's passed the original in popularity, but this isn't about her. This is about the casting of Mar-Vell in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie. Collider has Jude Law in final talks, while other sites has labeled this a thing now, to play the original Captain, Mar-Vell. Now I've been totally on board with every casting choice Marvel has made so far. This time though, I can't say they made a bad decision, I love Jude Law. I will say I have my concerns however. As awesome an actor as Jude Law is, I don't really see him as a great choice for Mar-Vell, a character who looks like Matthew McConaughey on steroids. I guess all in all that's just the visual side of it. A good performance could nullify that. I guess that's why I'm going back & forth on this, & I'm guessing by the time we see it, I'll be all in anyway. That's where I'm at though, not a great decision, not a bad decision, just maybe a questionable decision for now. What do y'all think about this choice? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
