The special Captain Marvel Carol Corps issue is out today. To celebrate the arrival of Captain Marvel #17 I wanted to share the final part of my one on one with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick at GeekGirlCon.
The Carol Corps would love to see Carol Danvers make the leap from comic books to television or a movie. Could we see Carol on an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or an Avengers sequel or possibly her own series or solo movie?
I asked DeConnick what’s the most important for filmmakers to get right about Carol in transitioning the fan-favorite Avenger from comic book to other mediums.
After saying she had never been asked that before and admitting that wouldn’t happen with a laugh but “let’s pretend” Kelly Sue said:
“My advice would be to remember do not mistake job for character. And I think that could happen is that we could focus on Carol’s “military background” so much…that we could make her a harpy. She could very easily be Margaret Houlihan (of M.A.S.H.) and I prefer her as Chuck Yeagher. I prefer her as a pilot with swagger and I think you have to remember that yes, she’s military, so was Chuck Yeagher. She is an adrenaline junkie. She is ruthless and driven. And she’s not adverse to breaking the rules I don’t think. Remember Carol’s an iconoclast. That would be my advice.”
Sounds like an amazing character to interact with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers!
Would you like to see Captain Marvel on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or an Avengers sequel?
Captain Marvel #17 is out now.
An All-New Captain Marvel #1 arrives in February. See what DeConnick says about why the Avenger is getting a new number one here.
