The Kree have already appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy and a few Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes, and now the word is that we’ll see one of the species’ greatest heroes appear in Captain Marvel.
Following the announcement at San Diego Comic-Con of Captain Marvel being set in the ’90s and that the Skrulls would be the main antagonists, Marvel Studios Kevin Feige revealed that the movie would lean into the mythology of the Kree-Skrull War.
According to MCU Exchange, Mar-Vell will play a key role in Carol Danvers’ origin story just like in the comics, and the Psych-Magnetron accident will be used to show how she obtains her powers.
The outlet also notes that Carol’s DNA becoming half human/half Kree will be used to explain why she’s aged so slowly (or not at all) when she eventually shows up in the present day MCU.
