“And for me, Monica is ambitious, she's compassionate, she's a leader, and she's also pretty funny in the comics.” With so much lore behind the Monica Rambeau character in the comics, there’s certainly plenty of material for her to chart a course into the future of the MCU, but right now Parris is focused on enjoying the moment. “What I wanted to do was go to the source material to find out who this woman was,” she said. But before any of that materializes on screen in the MCU, Parris emphasized how it was her goal to first introduce audiences to who Monica Rambeau is as a person. She’s considered one of the more powerful Marvel superheroes, and she’s been the leader of the Avengers to boot. In the comics, her ability to manipulate all kinds of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum gives her the power to fly and blast villains into next week. That’s not to say that Monica’s powers won’t come in handy. Acting Director Hayward and pretty much everyone at SWORD considers Wanda a threat that needs to be neutralized, so it speaks volumes about Monica that she’s choosing to address the situation with compassion instead. “I think when she sees Wanda and realizes what's happening, I do think that this parallel experience of grief is what is drawing her to be more compassionate with Wanda,” Parris said of her character.

Having just suffered a tragic loss herself, Monica is able to empathize with Wanda and understand what she’s going through after the loss of Vision. Though we witnessed Monica gain new super powers in Episode 7 thanks to a third trip through the Hex, her best tool to help Wanda may be something else entirely. Watching Monica Evolve Into a SuperheroBefore Monica confronts Carol in Captain Marvel 2, she has to help Wanda put an end to the Maximoff Anomaly in WandaVision. This could allow the upcoming sequel to deliver a character study of Captain Marvel, dissecting the hero’s triumphs and flaws to better define where she stands in the pantheon of the MCU, while also establishing what makes the other two Marvel-ous ladies unique. Marvel idolizes Captain Marvel, whereas Monica will be critical of her. While Parris’ tease of Monica’s future is small, it does paint a big picture about the dynamic between the leading ladies of Captain Marvel 2. As you can see, there are are plenty of reasons for Monica to have beef with Carol, and now we know Captain Marvel 2 will address that drama. Either way, the thinking is Monica blames Carol for her mother’s death. Or perhaps Monica is upset with Carol for not being there for her sick mother while she was Snapped out of existence. Maybe Carol encouraged Maria to go on more space missions and that’s how she got exposed to too much cosmic radiation. It could be Maria only got cancer in the first place because Carol exposed her to dangerous radiation with her powers. As Episode 4 of WandaVision showed in horrifying fashion, Monica was snapped away by Thanos and returned in The Blip, only to learn that in the intervening five years her mother passed away from cancer. Play The going fan theory on why Monica might not be so happy with Carol has all to do with Monica’s mother, Maria Rambeau. So I think there's space there for us to further investigate what's happening with those two,” she said. “I think that we know Monica will be in Captain Marvel 2 with Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan. Monica gets lost in thought at the mere mention of Carol, and that moment is a hint at what’s to come, according to Parris. But it seems something changed in their relationship over the years.
CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 MOVIE
You’ll remember the child version of Monica from the Captain Marvel movie set in the ‘90s looked up to Carol Danvers because she was a superhero who was best friends with her mother in the Air Force and affectionately referred to her as Lt. Darcy Lewis about Wanda’s growing powers, a passing mention of Captain Marvel triggers an unexpectedly troubled look on her face. As Monica talks with Randall Park’s Agent Jimmy Woo and Kat Dennings’ Dr. Setting Up Captain Marvel 2While there are many, many fan theories about WandaVision, there’s one particular scene in Episode 5 featuring Monica that left fans buzzing with speculation.
