WandaVision’s Teyonah Parris Feels Honored To Play Monica Rambeau

Monica Rambeau returns to the MCU, now a grown-up and played by Teyonah Parris. While we are seeing her as Geraldine in WandaVision, we certainly know that she is in fact the adult version of Monica Rambeau that we saw in Captain Marvel.

On playing the character, Parris expressed:

“To be able in this day and age to say, ‘I get to portray a Black female superhero, and be that vision, that image that I wish, prayed I would have seen as a young girl,’ it’s really incredibly an honor and a blessing. And I’m just really excited for the opportunity, and I’m having a lot of fun. They’re a lot of fun over here [at Marvel].”

Parris also expressed:

“When I started to do my character work, I definitely went to the comic books on my own and I still am mining through who she was in the comics. And I also looked to Akira Akbar’s performance in Captain Marvel, and what she brought in. Obviously, as a child, when you grow, you change — you can be totally different than you were as a child. But I do think that there are elements of who we are as young people that remain with us. And not only that, but the relationships we have with those who are in our lives. So, the relationship she had with her mom, Maria Rambeau [or] Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel — how do those relationships influence her?”

Are you excited for Monica Rambeau in WandaVision? And her future in the MCU?
