Concept art for the Supreme Intelligence not used in CM movie. Cool.

While this may have been cool to see in the Captain Marvel movie, maybe it would have been too much. We already had  the fantastical Skrulls and a flerken in the movie. And maybe something as large and ominous as the true Supreme Intelligence may have been too big a distraction from the heavy handed Thanos drama of Infinity War and the upcoming Endgame.

It would be cool, though, to see the comic book form of the Intelligence in the Captain Marvel sequel. Maybe the sequel could start with the flashback where Carol confronts the true Supreme Intelligence on Hala. We have to see something from Carol's past, she's been too many years  away. What happened out there? These initial flashback scenes could plant the seeds for the present day adventure we'll then see in rest of the movie.

Marvel.com did a nice summary article on how Carol Danvers became involved with the X-Men for more than a little while.

When Captain Marvel Became Binary

Quote

Last week, we saw Carol Danvers come into her own as a Super Hero in the form of Ms. Marvel and even join the Avengers! But, that first stint definitely ended on a strange note when she gave birth to Immortus' son Marcus, vaguely fell in love with him, and then went back to his home dimension of Limbo.

 

In the landmark AVENGERS ANNUAL #10, Carol made her way back to Earth only to get ambushed by Rogue who used her mutant powers to absorb Ms. Marvel's powers and memories! In the wake of losing herself, Danvers fell from the Golden Gate Bridge. Luckily for her, Spider-Woman was nearby and saved her life.

 

Danvers soon recuperated with help from Professor X, who saved many of her memories—but not the emotions attached to them. She then had a heartbreaking reunion with the Avengers; upon seeing her old teammates, Carol revealed that Marcus had her under a form of mind control that finally broke when he continued to age at an accelerated rate in Limbo. With him gone, she studied Immortus' machinery enough to free herself.

 

She felt betrayed by her friends because they didn't show concern for her strange pregnancy or do any investigation into Marcus' claims. However, Carol knew that she could rely on her own strength to get through those trying times.

 

To recuperate, Carol spent a good deal of time hanging out with Charles Xavier and his merry band of mutants in UNCANNY X-MEN in the early '80s. During this time, Wolverine tried to reminisce with her about missions they ran together back when she was Air Force Intelligence and he served in the Canadian Secret Service (in UNCANNY X-MEN #153), but she couldn't remember! However, you can read one of those exploits in WOLVERINE.

 

In UNCANNY X-MEN #158, Carol sparred with her new friends the Starjammers and then learned that, when she'd been turned into Ms. Marvel, her physical form had been evolved into that of a peak physical specimen—a trait she still held even with her powers gone. To help her new friends, Danvers infiltrated the Pentagon so they could delete the X-Men from every database. At the same time, she also got rid of the Ms. Marvel and Carol Danvers files.

 

While on a space adventure with the X-Men in UNCANNY X-MEN #161-#164, the former Ms. Marvel got singled out by the Brood because of her unique physiology, and they experimented on her. The alien parasites got far more than they bargained for with Carol Danvers though, when their tinkering turned Carol into Binary, a being who could tap into the unprecedented power of a White Hole.

 

Danvers used her Binary abilities to take out all the Brood she could find, but eventually the team returned to Earth. There, Carol had a tense meeting with Rogue, now an X-Man (in UNCANNY X-MEN #171). Feeling betrayed by another group of friends and heroes, Carol took off on her own.

 

Not long after, Binary joined the Starjammers and began traveling the spaceways with them. Though she did not appear nearly as regularly in that time frame, she did appear in NEW MUTANTS #19, MARVEL FANFARE #24, and UNCANNY X-MEN #200-#201. Along the way she became very close with her teammate Raza, the cyborg pirate.

 

Binary did play a huge part in the Operation Galactic Storm event in 1992. In this epic, the Avengers wound up in the middle of a war between the Shi'Ar and the Kree. In QUASAR #34, Binary used the majority of her power from the White Hole to save Earth's sun. Afterwards, her new associate dropped her off at Avengers HQ where she recovered.

 

In AVENGERS #350-#351, Danvers witnessed quite the reunion as the Starjammers dropped in while Professor X and Cyclops also paid the team a visit. When Raza attempted to kill Black Knight, Binary joined members of both squads to track down the Starjammer.

 

When they tracked him down, Raza admitted only to his longtime friend Carol that he did it in exchange for the safety of his secret son! Danvers went even further by lying to her teammates and telling them that his mind had been tampered with by the Kree, resulting in the attack.

 

At the end of that adventure, Carol declined a return to both the Starjammers and the Avengers, though she wouldn't be away from the stars or the Super Heroes for long!

The original art page of Carol Danvers confronting the Avengers in Annual #10 sold last year on HA for $8,200.

She had her chance but wasn’t meant to be.

Well Carol Danvers isn’t a mutant so of course she can’t be an X-Man. Plus there just wasn’t room for Rogue and Carol in the same X-mansion. Rogue needed help and Carol preferred being among the stars anyway. This spirit of Carol Danvers was captured to perfection in the Captain Marvel movie btw

Turns out Joss Whedon was going to introduce Captain Marvel in Age of Ultron. But then Feige killed that appearance.

INFINITY SAGA Box Set Deleted Scene Screenshots Feature AGE OF ULTRON Captain Marvel Stand-In & More

Marvel's Infinity Saga Box Set was released back in November (with a hefty $549.99 price tag), and some screenshots from several of the deleted scenes have now found their way online.

There are previously unseen shots of Hank and Janet Pym suited-up in Ant-Man and The Wasp, Professor Hulk from Avengers: Infinity War, Odin visiting Earth in Thor: The Dark World, and much more.

We also get our first look at the actress that stood in as Captain Marvel in Age of Ultron before Brie Larson was cast in the role.

t's been well documented that Joss Whedon wanted to introduce Captain Marvel in Avengers: Age of Ultron before Kevin Feige nixed the idea, but a scene featuring a stand-in for the character was filmed, and we have our first look at the mysterious actress here.

I hadn't heard this before.

Yes, Captain Marvel was supposed to show up with the other Avengers at the very end of Age of Ultron when Captain America almost says "assemble!" Thank goodness they didn't go through with that. Captain Marvel's intro as a logo in Nick Fury's pager was epic.

I heard this sometime between theaters and before it was out on Blu-ray/DVD

Surprised you're late to the party on this one!

Never heard this before. But I remember after his engagements with the MCC in making Age of Ultron he initially walked away saying no more MCU films. Then later backtracked on this. So this may be some of what they inserted themselves into in order to drive the -script.

Whedon is a big hypocrite (personally, and in business). He claimed that The Avengers projects were "too big", but he wanted to cram them full of characters. He did a fantastic job, regardless of that. Feige reeling him in is definitely to thank in-part for that.

He made the mistake of not letting Ultron kill the weak ones, though.

Can they get this girl to play Captain Marvel in the sequel?

The laughable thing is you’re probably serious about that. You forgot to add “Waa! Disney, please make this unknown stand-in a centerpiece of the MCU instead of that evil Oscar winning now superstar Brie Larson because Imma 40 year old dude (pause for sniffles) and she hurt my feelings one time!” Kevin Feige should get all his advice from you people, then the MCU might actually be a successful franchise instead of the massive failure it is today.
