RUMOR: Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) reference in the Avengers?

RUMOR: Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) reference in the Avengers?

First mentioned by a source who had pre-screening information, and confirmed by a reputable poster at CBM. Now more people who have seen the early screening are also talking about Captain Marvel. Coincidence?

First brought up by a reliable source here back on February 8th who's colleague was in the December screening. The source also has a "Timeline of Events" here regarding the spoilers they posted.

Now a different source of the January/February screening are mentioning Captain Marvel as well - February 15:

Just spoke with a good friend who happened to see an early pre screening of #TheAvengers. Simply wow! MIND = BLOWN!

Quote:
#TheAvengers aliens are wow! No way! At least I know they not the Redacted, phew!

Quote:
Seems #Hawkeye may be my new favorite badass Avenger #TheAvengers oh and the #Hulk may steal the show RE: Avenger pre screening

Quote:
RE: Apparently #TheAvengers pre-screening was missing a lot of musical score and CG on some were not yet cleaned. But wow still awesome!!

Quote:
I haven't seen the Avengers yet but listening to my pal, I want to see Avengers 2 already!

Quote:
Is future Guardian of the Galaxy movie extension of #TheAvengers? Damn I wanna see Thor vs Captain Marvel do it @Marvel

Quote:
@Marvel you guys need to get Guardians of the Galaxy moving before Avengers 2!

Quote:
@Disney @Marvel we need a Captain Marvel movie to go with Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers 2 ASAP

Quote:
@twhiddleston I hope they nominate you villain of the decade #TheAvengers loved your performance on #Thor btw

Quote:
"If Jason Bourne was a superhero, he would be Hawkeye with a bow and arrow" - LOVE IT #TheAvengers @Marvel @Disney


And check this out, there are also reports verified by CBM that Marvel's original plan for Agent Coulson was to give him cosmic powers, and even give him a son who was going to play Wendell Vaughn aka Quasar:

Coincidences?



Agent Coulson as Captain Marvel?

Could it be?

Not to mention the fact that Marvel Comics is now bringing the original Captain Marvel back from the dead since the 1980's back into the comics?

UPDATE: According to the same source of the February 8th information, it may possibly just be a small reference, or possible hint to the alien forces:


As far as Captain Marvel goes, I've asked and asked and asked, and was told he's not physically in the movie. I think he was brought up in our conversation as an example to make a point regarding the alien species.

Trust me, I grilled and grilled my colleague over this so much so that if I ask one more time, I would be ex-communicated from anymore info. I was assured Captain Marvel, flesh and blood, is not in the main movie, just like Red Skull, or Thanos.

Now as for any kind of Captain Marvel reference (someone here mentioned like maybe a Nega-Bands cameo which would be effing awesome), my colleague wasn't sure if there was any, since my colleague (again not a big comic person) never really heard of CM before until a friend who also saw the screening started talking about it and the other aliens in the Marvel Univ.

How cool would it be if Coulson is Captain Marvel! It be cooler if Carol Denvars is in The Avengers movie so then we get Ms Marvel in a future movie.

TOO BAD AGENT COULSON IS REALLY A SKRULL!!!

@ironman53

Its from at least 3-4 different sources including our very own MarvelFreshman.

I'm seriously to the point now that I block out any Avengers info that mentions the word 'Redacted'. All this indepth info gathering, and they can't get a single word like 'redacted' figured out?
Viltrumite - 2/16/2012, 1:42 PM
At this point, which character hasn't been rumored to at least get a mention in The Avengers?
ClarkStark - 2/16/2012, 5:02 PM
@Nephillim

Wow, so any CBMer with a "Clark" are just full of shit then?

Might as well round up everyone that has a CMB username with "Mister" too, to make it complete!

What an arrogant ignorant.

Fiege denied Skrulls and a Kree/Skrull war but never denied Kree makin an appearance. I know im just hoping for it but Captain Marvel, whether it's a reference or uneasier egg setting up something for the future, would be too cool for words. He was a character I definitely wasn't expecting to hear about on the big screen.

Hmm... I don't know. They also denied any new hero appearing in this movie.

But they debunked Skrulls and looks like in the end that's what the aliens are.

I'd love to see Captain Marvel referenced in The Avengers!!

We will see a lot of easter eggs in the movie. Observe everything.
CraptainAmerica - 2/19/2012, 11:11 AM
I still maintain that the Kree are involved.

My hope is that Danvers will be referenced by the end of the movie. I'm also a HUGE fan of the Ultimates Mahr-Vehl...someone above suggested that Coulson could be? I don't agree but what an awesome idea!!!

As for the "redacted" reference...makes me skeptical
WruceBayne - 2/23/2012, 3:46 AM
I'm kind of weary on these extremely vague "reliable sources". Other than saying Captain Marvel might be in it, it was a whole bunch of nothing said. For someone "who knows a guy that knows a guy that seen The Avengers" had no more info than someone who hadn't seen it.
Shaman - 2/24/2012, 5:10 AM
Avengers is a sausage fest, they need Ms Marvel so i'm all up for some Kree easter eggs!!! Hell, i wouldn't even mind it if Ms Marvel gets introduced before Mar-Vell!

who playing cap marvel

IDK sounds skeptical, A friend, of a friend said.....
FlamingCarrot - 3/28/2012, 9:34 AM
Carol Danvers is going to be the new 'Captain Marvel' in July. there's solicits in a comic book insider I have, so if there's any reference to Captain Marvel in this movie, I bet it will be Ms. Marvel :)
CaptainCinema - 5/24/2012, 7:14 PM
Having MAR-VELL, the real Mar-Vell on the big screen would be the smartest and coolest thing Marvel has ever done. No more impostors, no more fill in's, no more clones, this character was made for the big screen.

If you really do your homework on it, there was a lot of controversy surrounding them killing him off as the character had just been seperated from rick jones.

Carol sucks as Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel is her own character.

I say bring easily the most underrated superhero of them all to the big screen. This guy combines the ultimate flagship superhero with star wars (dont tell me cosmic awareness isnt a precursor to the force), star trek, flash gordon, and avatar all rolled into one.

MAR-VELL FOR AVENGERS 2!!! KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED, MARVEL PLEASE DON'T LET US DOWN!
