Marvel Studios just revealed the first official look of Zawe Ashton’s villainous Dar-Benn from The Marvels aka Captain Marvel 2.
In an official Instagram post, Zawe Ashton strides forward holding her hammer-like Kree weapon in her hand, donning green robes and a green tint in her hair.
Captain Marvel 2 will rightly focus on its highly exciting trio of actors Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani. Zawe Ashton, on the other hand, will serve MCU’s most terrifying new villain Dar-Benn.
Ashton will play a gender-swapped version of this powerful Kree, who served as a general in the comics and will likely hold the same power in the MCU. She even brandishes a weapon similar to that of Captain Marvel’s Ronan the Accuser.
She seems to follow in the footsteps of Kang the Conqueror and the High Evolutionary on the big screen, she’ll be an important part of Captain Marvel 2 for Marvel Studios to use in the sequel’s upcoming marketing campaign.
This comes only a few weeks after Ashton made her first appearance in the trailer for Captain Marvel 2 which arrived online in April, complete with a bangle on her wrist that resembles the one which gives Kamala Khan her powers.
