The Oscar-winning actress appeared at the special Marvel Studios Hall H panel to confirm she will play the iconic role of Carol Danvers in the upcoming "Captain Marvel" film.
Less than two minutes of research shows that Captain Marvel, by that name, has alternately been both a male and a female character off and on for thirty years.Daehawk wrote:Why are they calling it Captain Marvel instead of Mrs Marvel? Cap is a male. Is this another femnazi movie?
Umm, there are a probably quite a few women in the military who would punch you in the nuts if you called them Mrs. instead of their rank, captain.Daehawk wrote:Why are they calling it Captain Marvel instead of Mrs Marvel? Cap is a male. Is this another femnazi movie?
This is a Marvel movie about a Marvel character that has nothing to do with Shazam. The Shazam movie will be named Shazam, as DC retired the 'Captain Marvel' name for that character years ago - for obvious reasons.Daehawk wrote:Never seen Shazam as a female. Bet they never make a male Isis.

Captain Marvel succumbed to cancer in one of Marvel’s first ever graphic novels, The Death of Captain Marvel, in 1982. However, the company still needed to use his name to maintain control: step forward Monica Rambeau.
Although Monica was made by her creators Roger Stern and John Romita, Jr. to be the new Captain Marvel—and relatively rare at the time, as a black female superhero—Marvel never really intended to have her star in her own series as Mar-Vell did. She was essentially an entirely new hero to boot: she had no connections to Mar-Vell, and even her powers to manipulate and transform into any form of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum were nothing like Mar-Vell’s own.
