The twelfth film in my MCU Reimagined Idea (see: https://www.mycast.io/stories/the-mcu-reimagined-2008-present), a project that reimagines the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a setting where it's more consistent and Marvel Studios had the rights to all their characters from the start. Unlike most of the other films in this project this is playing around with a headcanon I've had for a few years but rearranging it to fit into this reimagining. After saving the Earth in The Avengers, Captain Marvel heads back into space to continue her fight against the Kree Empire and freeing planets that have been exploited by their rule. During her fight, she faces off against a Kree Colonel named Yon-Rogg and her former mentor, Ronan, who is now an Accuser. Now to end the war against the Kree, Captain Marvel must team up with an old friend and a resistance cell called the Nova Corps Poster by mattplummerdesigns on posterspy
