If they're doing Thunderbolts, this would make a ton of sense.

Una-Rogg (Earth-616)

My guess is Una-Rogg, Yon-Rogg's daughter. Yon-Rogg is still alive after the events of Captain Marvel and it's likely that his daughter is passing some generational revenge.

Much as I love Moonstone, she and Carol have never played well off each other.

Spoiler

Though her stint as Ms Marvel was gold, it's best moments had nothing to do with Carol.

Superia would be cool though.

Man going from Vod in Fresh Meat to MCU, fucking hell yeah!

 

[Spectromixer]

that's cool

In the spirit of continuing to build towards Young Avengers:

I know, I know: Skrulls aren't evil in this universe. Doesn't mean R'kll can't be a problem.

Broken first by Illuminerdi. Just an FYI.

 

[Alien Bob]

She's probably gonna be Quicksilver from the Roger Corman's Fantastic Four version of the Marvel universe.

Funny way of saying Moonstone outgrew Carol

 

[Neoxon]

that's cool

I almost forgot about this. It makes the casting news even more awesome.

 

[FootieGamer]

She was really good in Fresh Meat. Never would have expected her to be the main villain in an MCU film!

 

[Tribal24]

Maybe she is playing rogue? I'm hoping they adapt the story somehow

 

[Pineapple Taco]

Isn't Ms. Marvel supposed to be in this too? Maybe that will give some hints to Ashton's character?

 

[ThatMeanScene]

Illuminerdi was ahead of this news with an article yesterday. Their articles says Zawe's playing an African-American character so I'm leaning towards Moonstone over Veranke.
