Created by Steve Gerber and Jim Starlin and debuting in 1975’s Giant-Size Defenders #3, Michael Korvac was a mild-mannered computer technician on an alternate Earth, who was turned into a powerful cyborg by the Badoon race of aliens and became a pawn of the Grandmaster. As his appearances stretched on, Korvac became embued with the Power Cosmic, which he tried to utilize to shape Earth-616 in his image. Korvac went on to fight the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy multiple times over, and serves as the villain of the current Iron Man series.
While Korvac isn’t necessarily traditionally tied to Captain Marvel in the comics, he is definitely an interesting foe for her to face on the big screen — combining her cosmic nature and his history with the Avengers in an interesting capacity. Rumors had even swirled prior to Captain Marvel‘s 2019 debut that Korvac was featured in the film’s original script. The notion of Marvel possibly revisiting that storyline is definitely interesting — and the fact that they might be looking for a younger and empathetic actor to portray him is compelling.
Captain Marvel 2 is set to be directed by Candyman‘s Nia DaCosta, with a script written by Megan McDonnell, who is currently a staff writer on the Marvel Disney+ series WandaVision. The film will also feature appearances from Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau, and Zawe Ashton in a currently-unknown role.
