Surprising Casting News
Hello, and welcome to your weekly discussion post! Sorry this is a day late. This week's topic is about the upcoming Disney+ series, WandaVision. Aside from having one of the dumbest titles ever, Marvel announced some casting spoilers:
"The show will also feature Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. You might remember the character from Captain Marvel; played in that movie by Akira Akbar, Monica is the daughter of Carol Danvers' best friend, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch). In the comics, Monica eventually takes on the title of Captain Marvel herself after she gains powers when she is exposed to extra-dimensional energy." (TV Guide)
I loved Monica in Captain Marvel, and I'm excited to see her again. I previously had little interest in Wanda's or Vision's stories, but this might be enough to make me tune in. Since they're re-casting the role, it's safe to assume that we'll be meeting a grown-up Monica, roughly 20 years after the events of CM. I doubt they're going to make her Captain Marvel right away, though, since the MCU already has one of those (and she's awesome!). And I'm curious to see how they connect Monica's story to Wanda and Vision, since I don't think either of those characters has ever met Captain Marvel, or knows who she is.
What would you like Monica's role to be in this series? And do you think we'll see her mom, Maria?
