Actor Teyonah Parris recently gave some insight into her role as Monica Rambeau on WandaVision and spoke about the possibility of her character following the path she took in the source comics.
"Monica Rambeau has held many monikers over the decades and I think they’ve all been really special in a very particular way," Parris said when asked if Rambeau will ever become Captain Marvel. "I don’t know how or who she will be in the MCU. Because when I tell you, she changes names and she kicks butt in all of them."
While Akira Akbar portrayed a younger version of Monica Rambeau in 2019's Captain Marvel, Parris made her debut as an adult version of the character in WandaVision. Parris will also reprise her role as Rambeau in the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel.
"So, I don’t know who she will be in her superhero form," Parris concluded. "But I am excited by the thought of many of them."
Created by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr., Monica Rambeau was the first female Marvel Comics character to take the role of Captain Marvel. The character debuted in 1982's The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 and has been known by several different hero names, including Photon, Pulsar and Spectrum. In the comics, Rambeau served as a member of the Avengers and even led the team at one point.
Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes.
