He was a villain in The Dark Knight Rises, he was a villain in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and now, completing the trilogy, he’s set to be a villain in the MCU too.
Yes, Orson Krennic himself, actor Ben Mendelsohn, could be in line to play the leader of the Skrulls when Brie Larson brings’ Captain Marvel to the MCU under the direction of Mississippi Grind’s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
Very little else is known. Well, I say very little, I actually mean nothing…
As for the movie itself, it will be set in the 1990s and will also see the return of Nick Fury as a pre-eyepatch, CGI de-aged Samuel L Jackson and will see Captain Marvel fighting the Skree and it could potentially be a game changer as the story will revolve around an alien invasion that will see the Skree replacing people we thought we knew… meaning that, down the line, ANYONE could be a Skrull.
Remember Fury’s line to Steve Rogers in Captain America: The Winter Soldier: “Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye.”? Well, we’re betting we’ll see just what he meant by that.
But we digress… are you excited for the possibility of Mendelsohn playing a Marvel villain? Let us know…
Captain Marvel is currently set for release in March 2019

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
