With Captain Marvel set to release in theaters March 2019, details are starting to come at us more often, and with the recent development that Lashana Lynch would be joining the cast, its time for the theories to start. Lashana Lynch will be replacing an actress that is no longer participating in the film, DeWanda Wise.
There is no set character tied to Lynch yet, but The Hashtag Show has insider information that has given a clue to who she may play. Information also surfaced that DeWanda Wise, was the second choice for the spot with the first choice neglecting to take the role on.
We are told that Wise was set to play the mother of a young child who would be a “contemporary” of Carol Danvers.
That doesn’t give a lot of answers to the question at hand, but it does open the door for fan theories and speculation to who she might be playing. THS revealed who they believed could be a contender for the character and that is non-other than Monica Rambeau herself. This could be far from the reality as Rambeau is not a supporting character in the Captain Marvel comics and doesn’t have much history with Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers herself.
The reason this theory is so popular at this moment is because apparently the original actress they wanted to play the role was a very close resemblance to her (there is no release yet on the name of the actress who originally turned down the role).
Captain Marvel has apparently began filming and the wait is killing us. With Carol Danvers being played by Brie Larson, a character who is not being named yet and the movie releasing just over 2 months prior of Avengers 4, it might be one of the biggest films in the new year. If the theories turn out to be correct or not, we know that Lashana Lynch will do a fantastic job in her role no matter what it is.
