Lee Pace is bringing Ronan the Accuser back for Captain Marvel, and he couldn?t be happier. First introduced to moviegoers in 2014?s Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan appeared to take the typical route for Marvel Cinematic Universe villains.
Pace appeared on New York Live recently to promote his new Broadway show Angels in America, but the interview wasn?t going to end without a bit of MCU talk. He was unsurprisingly tight-lipped about Ronan?s role in Captain Marvel, but he is looking forward to bringing the character to life in a new way:
I know nothing. I don?t know anything. I wish I could tell you all the secrets, but I don?t know any secrets! I?m excited to be back.
Even though, in the MCU, Ronan is only known for his hatred of Xandar and the alliance formed between them and the Kree, Captain Marvel should put him in his natural habitat. With the movie largely revolving around the Kree-Skrull war, it would make sense for Ronan to be one of the leaders of the army at that point. Pace may not know any secrets at this point, but there?s probably a good chance he gets to show more of Ronan?s ruthlessness.
Since Brie Larson?s Carol Danvers will be intervening in this war, it should give Pace and Larson a chance to interact.
