What’s interesting about the rumor is that it asserts that the Kree will be involved, adding a little more weight to that other rumor that Kevin Pennington will be actually playing Noh-Varr. It’d be interesting if that were the case, because it’d seem like they were melding the character with Mar-Vell (who, of course, originally started as Kree sleeper agent.) I was kind of skeptical about Noh-Varr’s inclusion in the movies when I first heard the rumor because... well... the character’s debut had him burning “F*** YOU” into New York City to tell off SHIELD. I suppose all enemies can eventually become friends, though. So why couldn’t Noh-Varr be a SHIELD agent?
The AVENGERS movie, whenever it gets made, is going to need some larger-than-life threat for the team to fight and I doubt it’s going to be mainstays like Loki or Kang or the Masters of Evil. I really do think it’ll be a version of the Skrulls, although the exact details are likely still in the air. Maybe they will be brainwashing the Hulk into their control, as Slash Film speculates?
