Kelly Sue DeConnick on Captain Marvel in Movies

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.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has officially joined the cast of Avengers: Age of Ultron according to The Wrap. The star of Kick-Ass will play Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver.

The hotheaded hero is devoted to protecting his fragile but powerful sister. Quicksilver was married to Crystal of the Inhumans. They have a daughter named Luna.

Kelly Sue DeConnick at GeekGirlCon

Kelly Sue DeConnick made her first appearance at the third annual GeekGirlCon 2013 in Seattle. The celebration of women in geek culture was an opportunity for the Carol Corps to show their support for the writer of Captain Marvel and the author’s continuing mission to inspire women who want careers in comics.

I’ve seen DeConnick reach out to young women after Emerald City and Rose City Comic Con panels to encourage them. The Captain Marvel writer recently made headlines at the Women of Marvel panel at New York Comic Con for saying she was “willing to be disliked…willing to be called names, willing to make people uncomfortable so my daughter doesn’t have to.”

DeConnick’s success and passionate support of women in the creative field made her the perfect guest for GeekGirlCon. Continue reading Kelly Sue DeConnick at GeekGirlCon

Janet Van Dyne is famous for her fashion sense and ever-changing uniforms. The mighty and mighty chic Avenger is currently serving on the Uncanny Avengers Unity Squad after coming back from the microverse in the previous Avengers volume.

I had a double take this weekend at GeekGirlCon 2013 in Seattle – the third annual celebration of women in geek culture.

You have to admire the dedication of a cosplayer who works not one but two looks for the hero they love. I salute this geek girl I met at GeekGirlCon. On Saturday she sported the retro Wasp look complete with headpiece and visor seen here with a woman with great taste in an Avenging Archer! Continue reading WASP Double Cosplay at GeekGirlCon
