Ok, I know this should maybe be in Movies, but it's your opinions as comics readers I'm looking for. Who do you think should play Captain (Ms) Marvel in the new movie? Or what general look/costume/style do you think they should use?

    Emily Blunt, Natalie Dormer or Alexandra Daddario. I suppose the costume from the comics is too much to hope for ;-)

    If it 'had' to be one of those three then I'd vote for Blunt but I don't think any of them are spot on...

    Yes, that's the one.

    I think I prefer the current one. Maybe she'll go through a transition and have both :P

    If current superhero movies are anything to go by, she'll probably be dressed heads to toe in dark leather with little regard to her comic book costumes.

    Am I wrong in saying that currently in the comics are not Captain and Ms Marvel two totally different superheroes?

    Both are Carol Danvers, who originally appeared with Captain Marvel in 'Marvel Super Heroes', then his own title where she gained her powers. She has laterally been known as Captain Marvel.
    I expect they eventually dropped the "Ms" as it has dreadfully dated 70s feminist connotations about it.

    Sorry I'm getting confused thinking about the recent version of Ms Marvel with Kamala Khan who was only introduced in the comics in the past year or so!

    As in the comics now Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers and Ms Marvel is Kamala Khan

    You're right they are two different superheroes. :)

    That's correct.

    Thanks for the posts as I thought I was correct.I guess that Marvel will go with Carol Danver for the film otherwise they would have called the film Ms Marvel not Captain Marvel!

    And it's really likely that Kamala (who is a Carol Danvers fan girl) will turn up at some point as well maybe even as soon as the Captain Marvel movie.

    Yeah that would make sense especially as Isnt Kamala Khan an Inhuman? As that would also link into the upcoming Inhuman film in 2018 as well!

    Who would play Kamala Khan? How about Anjli Mohindra from "The Sarah Jane Adventures", "The Inbetweeners" and "The Missing"?

    She's too old (already 25). Her SJA predecessor Yasmin Paige, who played Maria Jackson, left for exams and they didn't want a repeat of that, so cast a slightly older actress to play Rani Chandra (by the end, she was 21 playing 18). Kamala Khan is a teenager. If they introduce her, it would probably be an unknown actress. But if the Captain Marvel film is an origin story, skipping over Carol's time as Ms Marvel, then Kamala would not be able to be a fangirl of her so soon. So I'm not expecting her to show up anyway. The Inhumans film is probably about Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, and Crystal.

    Kamala Khan's best thing to happen with Marvel since Avengers Disassembled! :)

    Amazing work by Wilson and Alphona.

    Ok so I have couple of leftfield suggestions for both roles.

    Anyone familiar with Amazon's (yes, I know) Prime series Vikings will know the character Lagertha, a warrior maiden type played by Katheryn Winnick. In my opinion she would make the perfect Captain Marvel, although I like the earlier suggestion of Natalie Dormer.

    As for Kamala Khan, what about Nazanin Boniadi, who played the role of Farah in Homeland?
