DeWanda Wise joins Captain Marvel
Now "co-star" is a vaguely loaded word - does that mean she will play the co-lead to Larson's Air Force pilot Carol Danvers?
Created by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr., Monica is one of Captain Marvel's lesser-known inheritors. The film is slated for a March 2019 release-date, with Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck assuming the role of director. You see, in January 1982, Marvel released the graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel, featuring Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, passing away.
Marvel is owned by Disney, parent company of ABC News.
Thus, Monica Rambeau is particularly well situated to be introduced as a supporting character in Captain Marvel's new movie.
She's fought alongside some of Marvel's greatest heroes and was a longtime member of the Avengers, eventually becoming their leader after being chosen by Avengers founder Janet Van Dyne. Fans are already speculating that the role will be Monica Rambeau, a.k.a. Spectrum.

Two large lottery jackpots up for grabs to start 2018
That means it is more likely for the grand total to roll into the next drawing - increasing jackpots. The $343 million prize would be the eighth-highest won, according to the Mega Millions website .
Filling out the cast around Larson is Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Jude Law.
Though their paths rarely cross in the comics, we know that the MCU is built from concepts taken from Marvel rather than direct storylines. In the comics, Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau share a love/love/hate relationship but hold a substantial amount of mutual respect for one another.
Fans are already speculating who Wise is playing, but it is hard to tell.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wise is the latest of the casting news for the upcoming "Captain Marvel" film.
