[post_page_title]Mar-Vell is actually a man[/post_page_title]
In the film, we learn that it’s Dr. Wendy Lawson, who worked on Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., is a Kree who’s named Mar-Vell. But in the bomics, Mar-Vell is actually a man. Mar-Vell is the first person to ever assume the identity of Captain Marvel.
This is why, initially, many fans who learned Jude Law was cast in the movie thought he would play the role of Mar-Vell. This, of course, turned out to be false – as the character was played by Annette Bening.
