Also, the target audience for movies is typically younger people. Younger people are going to be more familiar with the current Captain Marvel. Not the Captain Marvel from decades ago. That's their father's Captain Marvel.
Face it, when you get old, you are no longer part of the target market for most movies and pop culture in general.

If the goal of movie studios is to over-saturate the market with super heroes and make it so the average non-comic book guy doesn't give a shit... it's working.

Captain Marvel had his own cartoon show and live-action show, not to mention repeated appearances on DC's various animated shows in the past decade. No one outside of comic book fans has any idea of who this Captain Marvel is from Marvel/Disney.

Hrmmm. Sounds like what some people said of Guardians of the Galaxy too. If they sell it well.... they will come.

Don't lump them all together. The MCU is doing good. Pieces of shit like Fantastic Four and the Spider-Man movies don't even compare. People will ignore that shit, but make a good comic movie and people will still love it.

Of course if the market get over saturated and audiences get burned out on comic book flicks the folks here will blame WB/DC for stepping in and ruining things for everybody.

Still. Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel... will be taken care of for sure. Marvel probably doesn't want to fuck up the female superhero on a global scale. Again. Within the movie industry, this is very unique and a hell of a gamble that others can't afford to some degree. Marvel can gamble like a motherfucker now especially.

This is a key brand that Disney has identified as wanting to exploit in films. Captain Marvel will be a key element of the Marvel film universe going forward. They want to imprint their own female hero on the masses and there are no iconic design elements from the comics impeding their progress. She is basically a blank slate with the masses, which is like manna from heaven in Hollywood.

My Captain Marvel has always be Danvers. That Marvel was before my time. And I didn't care for the Rick Jones late 90s or early 2000s one.

Interesting that they're going with Captain Marvel and not the newer Ms. Marvel.
Multiple ways this could tie in with Agents of Shield, if it happens to still be on by the time this comes out.

Would have been pretty neat if they went with Kamala. Just to add more ethnicity to roster. I ALMOST wanted to see that happen just to see how people would accept her. How is she as a character btw? Haven't read her stuff.

I think that might have been an interesting on Disney's part, to start a MCU franchise aimed at tween-teen girls. CA is in the spy genre, Thor is fantasy, GotG is space opera, IM is techno-thriller action. They already have MCU spread out over multiple genres, so expanding it further would make sense.
