New CAPTAIN MARVEL Details Reveal The Return Of Agent Coulson

Marvel has announced the start of production on the upcoming Captain Marvel with a press release that reveals new details about the film. The most significant information of which is that multiple MCU veterans are set to make an appearance in the Brie Larson led flick.

Current Agents of Shield and former MCU fan-favorite actor Clark Gregg is set to reprise his role as Agent Phil Coulson. Gregg hasn’t appeared in an MCU film since his character was killed at the hands of Loki in 2012s The Avengers. Since Captain Marvel takes place in the 1990s, Marvel saw it as a prime opportunity to bring back everyone’s favorite Shield agent.

Another returning character will be that of Ronan the Accuser, played by Lee Pace. Ronan you’ll remember was the main villain of Guardians of the Galaxy in which much like Coulson he was also killed off. Ronan is, of course, a Kree meaning he is a member of the same race that has a hand in granting Carol Danvers her powers. Along with Pace, Djimon Hounsou will return as Korath the Pursuer who also first appeared in GOTG.
