And apparently, so will be Ronan the Accuser.

Let's keep in mind, though, that Captain Marvel will be a prequel movie.

Sooo... who wants to bet that they make Coulson a Skrull imposter?

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

Seeing this all over social media and (maybe it's just what I've seen) but I worry they're messaging this wrong. Most headlines make it sound like Coulson rejoins the Avengers in some way rather than (I assume) the story just taking place before Avengers. Sets up a lot of fans making the wrong assumption and being disappointed.

Does it, though? Sure, it proves that TPTB haven't entirely forgotten that Coulson exists, but if the movie is truly set in the 90's - as I've read - and that is the only time period we'll see Coulson in, then that doesn't connect the current MCU any more than his past appearances in Thor, Iron Man and The Avengers did.

HOWEVER, his appearance in this movie could serve as a way to foreshadow his reappearance in the current MCU time, whether that happens at the end of the Captain Marvel movie itself (post-credit scene, anyone?

) or in any future instalment of the franchise. One recurring argument in the discussion about Coulson's possible reappearance in the movies has been that it might seem pretty much out of left field - especially for those not following AoS - and would require some setting up. Thereby it would have taken time and focus away from the main characters and story of whatever movie he would have appeared in, thus making it happening less realistic in the first place. But making a younger Coulson an active character in Captain Marvel would be a great set-up for current Coulson to show up again as well, providing, of course, that AoS hasn't killed him off by then.

I'm getting a little "caseyrook-ish" over this news - or at least how it's being spun on social media.

It's great news in general of course and given that we've been told Captain Marvel is at least partially taking place in the past it makes perfect sense and doesn't contradict anything other than the trolls that like to go around trumpeting "MCU is only the films" etc.

However, I keep seeing references about Coulson being "back from the dead" etc. Could be me just being over-sensitive and perhaps too clever for my own good (hence the reference to caseyrook), but I'm worried this will get blown up too much.

At this time, my official expectation is still that Captain Marvel will be similar to Captain America: The First Avenger in that most of it will take place in the past and it will somehow end with our hero in the "present". i.e. Danvers is a top pilot, somehow meets a Kree scout of some kind (Mar-Vell or another character in that role), gets powers etc. all in the past. Then somehow gets moth-balled or goes off Earth or something so that she can return to the MCU and be in other films.

So with Coulson, I expect him to be a part of the past sequences which makes perfect sense since he was involved with Stark, Thor, Cap etc. (Though yes I expect the "past" in CM will be well before 2008.) I do not expect Coulson to appear in any of the scenes happening "now" in the film but of course that's possible and would be awesome.

I guess my worry is that the hype will be so much that I will end up expecting Coulson to basically be a co-star in the film and I'll be sitting staring at a blank screen while they're sweeping up popcorn waiting for the post-post-post-credits scene where Coulson is introducing Danvers to Stark or something.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT

Clark Gregg will be in Captain Marvel!!!
