‘Captain Marvel’ Promo Image Highlights Old MCU Villain

A new promotional image for the upcoming Captain Marvel film offers us a few new gifts ahead of the film’s premiere next March. For one, we see Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers suited up with the classic helmet design. But more than that, seeing Danvers assembled with her Starforce team also highlights a villain from MCU’s past. Or future, depending on how you look at it.

The image, shared on the Captain Marvel News Twitter account, gives us a look at not just Carol Danvers, but also fellow Kree warriors Captain Atlas, Minn-Erva, Bron-Char, and Korath. Who? Exactly. You remember Korath the Pursuer from Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. Well, actor Djimon Hounsou is set to reprise his role in the upcoming Captain Marvel film, as you can see in the promotional image below:

With Captain Marvel serving as a sort of prequel to future events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, perhaps we will see what led Korath down the path that eventually led to him exchanging blows with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Are you excited to see Korath return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in next year’s Captain Marvel? And how much do you hope he will be featured in the upcoming film? Let us know in the comments below. Here’s the official synopsis for the film:

“The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.”

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, Mckenna Grace, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law.

The film will fly into theaters on March 8, 2019.
