For a second time, a petition to replace Brie Larson with a gay woman of color is making the rounds and nearing 30,000 signatures. Bryon Lape reported on this petition back in May 2019, but it has come up again. Fans who support this petition want to see a Monica Rambeau as Captain Marvel and not the Carol Danvers imposter of the modern incarnation. Various rumors have stated that Monica will be a part of Captain Marvel 2, so having her as a version of Ms. Marvel is still possible.

On the same day the petition came back to life, Brie Larson announced she had some demands to be met if she is to be a part of Avengers 5. Though the exact time frame for Captain Marvel 2 and Phase 5 have not been fully announced, Brie Larson stated she wanted to make the same money as her Avengers co-stars. Rumor also has it that Marvel wants Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to take on the lead of the Avengers going forward, though the most likely road has Captain Marvel and Spider-Man in a co-learship role similar to Iron Man and Captain America. Brie Larson was payed much more the first Captain Marvel movie than Robert Downy, Jr. was for Iron Man, so the call for more money seems misplaced. How will Marvel handle the demand?

Much has been made previously about Kevin Feige deciding to bring Captain Marvel into the MCU so late in the game. Rumors between Brie Larson and Elizabeth Olson started quite soon with some stating Olson was not happy her Scarlet Witch character was placed behind Captain Marvel. The announced Disney+ show Wandavision has helped to alleviate some of the bad feelings, but it is a cosmic wonder as to their roles in the MCU phase 5. Tony Stark may also return as some manner of a hologram and give advice to Peter Parker and Carol Danvers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is wide open for the future.
