Actresses to play Carol Danvers

With Marvel recent announcement of phase 3 of their movie franchise, we were greeted to the good news that a Captain Marvel movie based on the character Carol Danvers are in the works. What have not been revealed is which actress is going to play the lead character. Today I am gonna give you my choice for actresses that can play the role, and as for a rule I will not choose an actress who is currently playing a role in either the marvel or DC universe movies.

Before I begin, just a little recap on who is Captain Marvel, From her real name Carol Danvers, she is former Air force pilot who was working as head security for a NASA base. It’s while working at that base, she came into contact with the alien superhero Mar-Vell who ( and you guessed it ) was the first Captain Marvel. While aiding Captain Marvel in his adventure Carol Danvers was captured and was experimented on, which rearrange her DNA that made her half-human and half-Kree, which in turn gave her superpowers. With her powers she aided Captain Marvel under the moniker Miss Marvel until his death. During her superhero career, she worked with many other heroes including Spider-man, the X-Men and the Avengers. Her powers consist of superhuman strength and agility , flight, energy absorption and photonic blast.

Using her photonic blast.

Now lets start with the list.

1 - Ali Larter

 

As Nikki Sanders in Heroes.

Best known for her dual role of Nikki Sanders and Tracy Strauss on the TVshow Heroes , Ali Larter has been acting since the late 90’s , she also plays the role of Claire Redfield on the movie franchise of Resident Evil. A part from the fact she looks like Carol Danvers in my head, she has the experience in acting that can help the dual role of tough as nail military and confused as learning her new powers in the movie franchise. She still have to film the final Resident Evil movie and she stars in the TV show Legends, so in the time management point of view it will be difficult for filming, but in my head it’s a good choice.

2 - Anna Torv

As Olivia Dunham in Fringe

Best known for the voice of the video game character Nariko from Heavenly Sword and starring as FBI agent Olivia Dunham in the TV Science Fiction Drama Fringe, Anna Torv is my second choice for this list. I chose Anna Torv mostly for her acting, during the (wonderful) seasons of Fringe , she has proven she will go wherever the character needs her to go , she has that perfect mix of beauty and determination that would be needed for her character to stand firm in front of the likes of Tony Stark and Steve Rodgers. She haven’t done anything significant since the end of Fringe which can cause her popularity to go down a little bit , but who knows anything can happen and Captain Marvel could be her second coming.

3 - Katee Sackhoff

As Starbucks in Battlestar Galactica 2004 reboot

Admit it you knew this was coming , and you are right , with the popular trend and to the delight of my partner Protoformal,  my best choice for Carol Danvers is Starbucks herself Katee Sackhoff. Known for her portrayal of Kara Thrace of the Battlestar Galactica 2004  reboot , Katee Sackoff brings a bad-ass vibe to the character and an army of fanboy. Seriously who wouldn’t pay to see Katee Sackoff hold her own against Ronan the Accuser and with the Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet coming up we can already imagine her kicking ass side by side with the Hulk.

Fingers crossed!!!!

Fell free to leave a comment and to give your personal choice of actress to bring Carol Danvers to life on the silver screen. Hope you enjoy the read. See you all soon.
