Your support makes all the difference.A new leak has seeming revealed the villain who will terrorise the Avengers over the course of Marvel’s Phase Four.
While the apparent leak has been reported by multiple publications, as with all apparent Marvel spoilers, take this with a large pinch of salt.
According to The Mirror, an internet user named “TheMarvelScoopMaster” has revealed numerous details regarding the second Captain Marvel film.
The sequel will allegedly take place between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, placing the film’s setting between the 90s and early 2020s (due to the five-year jump after Thanos’s snap).
The ‘leak’ continues: “The film will involve the Kree once again and the Skrulls, and focus on their conflict. Carol learns of a ‘super weapon’ and goes on a search for it, only to realise it’s Korvac.
“She sympathises with him; her and Korvac bond over being guinea pigs for the Kree basically. So when he betrays her and turns heel she’s left devastated.”
Korvac, also known as The Enemy, is a dimension-hopping villain in the comic books who is imbued with God-like powers. After learning to use the Power Cosmic, Korvac heads to Earth with the intention of reshaping it into a utopia.
The leak adds that Korvac will not be too powerful in Captain Marvel 2, but will grow in strength and return as a reoccurring threat in future Avengers films.
Last week, The Independent reported on a potential leak that may have revealed Marvel’s plans for next decade, including further Doctor Strange, Thor and Avengers films. Again, take them with a pinch of salt.
For everything we do know for sure about Phase Four, read The Independent’s summary here. Marvel president Kevin Feige is expected to unveil the studio’s upcoming slate of films at San Diego Comic-Con, which take place 18-21 July.
