Gemma Chan Joins the 'Captain Marvel' Cast as the Mysterious Minn-Erva

The latest entry in the MCU canon, "Captain Marvel," just started production, and already has social media buzzing thanks to some early set photos. Now, fans have even more to talk about, with the addition of actress Gemma Chan to the cast.

Deadline reports that Chan, the star of AMC sci-fi series "Humans," will be starring as a character named Minn-Erva (known later in the comics as Doctor Minerva), who has the same alien superpowers as the titular character, played by Brie Larson. Comic Book Resources has a lengthy breakdown of Minn-Erva's appearances in the original Marvel comics (full of possible SPOILERS for the new film, no doubt, so read on at your own risk), and it sounds like the character is extremely eccentric, and potentially quite dangerous.

Whether Chan will be playing her as friend or foe in the flick is unclear right now, but suffice it to say, we're definitely intrigued by her inclusion. Setting aside her character's history, the actress herself has been making waves on the big screen recently, with appearances already lined up in buzzy movies like "Crazy Rich Asians" (which looks crazy awesome) and "Mary, Queen of Scots" (which features an unrecognizable Margot Robbie). It appears that a role in the MCU is just the next logical step for the on-the-rise star.

Both Chan and Larson tweeted about the actress joining the flick, and seem very excited to get to work. We're excited, too, and can't wait to see the end result of their collaboration.

"Captain Marvel" is due in theaters on March 8, 2019.

‘Fear Street’ Spoiler Review: Netflix’s Horror Trilogy Mines Nostalgia While Looking to the Future

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a three-week spree of crimes against innocent Shadysiders, ended on Friday. It’s possibly the biggest slasher-movie event since the 2018 Halloween broke box-office records for its franchise and production company. There have been other slasher flicks since then; the bloody body-swap Freaky comes to mind as one genre torch-bearer, seen mostly on VOD late last year. However, with its staggered release pattern — instant summer sequels, now available to stream! —  Fear Street  has built up a sustained momentum this month that goes unmatched by other recent entries in the genre. We took a non-spoiler look at all three  Fear Street films as they launched:  Part One: 1994  on July 2,  Part Two: 1978  on July 9, and Part Three: 1666  on July 16. Now, as the dust settles in the town of Shadyside, we’re ready to dive into the deep end with a spoiler-filled look at the plot twists, character deaths, and buried themes of the whole decade-hopping trilogy.

Yes, ‘Eternals’ Will Explain Why These Superheroes Didn’t Help Out During ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Eternals  may become the latest example of the many balancing acts that any shared universe will inevitably be asked to navigate. After all, constructing a timeline with a lived-in sense of history must stand up to scrutiny. While fans should generally approach movies with the benefit of the doubt (these are, after all, fictional works made up by human beings rather than an actual historical retelling), creators tend to obsess over these sorts of details. That’s why Marvel producers Nate Moore and Kevin Feige offer reassurances that there’s a very good canonical reason the Eternals didn’t bother showing up to help Captain America fight Thanos. Entertainment Weekly  has the lowdown on all aspects of Eternals , from director Chloe Zhao’s  influences to introductions for each of the main heroes. There’s also an interesting nugget included in the cover story about the movie’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Described as “…largely a standalone story, focusing specifically on th
