Jude Law’s Captain Marvelcharacter was notably absent from the film’s sequel, but the MCU can still nail his return in an upcoming project. Captain Marvel set plenty of records for Marvel during its 2019 release. It was the studio’s first female-led movie with Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson starring in the titular role, and it went on to gross over $1.1 billion at the box office. Alongside Larson, the cast featured other big names, such as Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick Fury, Annette Bening as Mar-Vell, and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos.
