One of Marvel's most pivotal cosmic conflicts is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain Marvel, as the Kree-Skrull War makes its way to Earth.
In an on-set press junket, Jude Law, who portrays the enigmatic commander of the Kree peacekeeping Starforce, revealed the dynamic between the two warring extraterrestrial species in the film and how it informed his character.

"The Kree and the Skrulls are constantly in conflict, so both communities are living really at high alert and both obviously live with a huge wariness of each other," Law explained in a press interview with Screen Rant and other outlets. "As a commander of the military, and as a poster boy of the military obviously of the Krees, my character is somewhat judgmental and full of hatred towards the Skrulls."
While the debate still lingers whether Law will portray Yon-Rogg or Mar-Vell in the upcoming MCU film, Law's stance against the Skrulls is clear either way.

"The Skrulls to the Krees really represent despicable maneuvering and manipulation," Law continued. "The Skrulls have this way of simulating other people and turning into other things, so it's this idea of subterfuge where you're not who you really are, whereas the Kree have a kind of purity and honesty to them as I see it."
