With the upcoming Captain Marvel movie details being released, it might make one wonder where the character has been during the current Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ben Mendelsohn explains that the reason might be that she needed the time away to recover from the film’s events.
Mendelsohn should know as he will be playing the role of Talos, the Skrull leader. While talking to EW, Mendelsohn explained that fans will be hard-pressed not to root for Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, but her story will take a toll on her and might explain why she has been away.
“It’s very touching, actually,” Mendelsohn said. “I mean, you want her to win. Now, unfortunately, not every fairytale turns out that well. Sometimes you meet a Skrull. But Carol’s resourceful. She’s going to have a few films to get over this and maybe come back from this. We’ll see.”
Despite Mendelsohn’s admiration for Captain Marvel. He still believes that if push came to shove, the Skrulls could have taken her.
“You’ve gotta be a bit more careful of Carol than the Kree, But I think as far as we’re concerned in the Skrull world, she’s kind of like a major obstacle. I still think we can take her. If we had to — if we had to, had to, had to — we could take Carol.”
