Warning: Captain Marvel spoiler follows…
While Marvel Studios has announced details for much of the cast of Captain Marvel, two roles in particular have been kept under wraps in Jude Law’s ‘Star Commander’ and Annette Bening’s mystery character.
Thanks to a Marvel Legends Series action figure, we know that Law is portraying the Kree warrior and Mar-Vell villain Yon-Rogg, and now it seems that another leaked piece of merchandise has confirmed the identity of Bening’s character.
As per the Captain Marvel Hero Storybook, it appears that – as speculated by many – Bening is playing the Supreme Intelligence, an A.I. which serves as the ruler of the Kree Empire. Take a look here, via MCU Eternal…

It’s quite a departure from the comics, where the character is portrayed as a giant floating green head, although it may well be that Bening is simply a humanoid avatar and we’ll still get to see the Supreme Intelligence in its original form at some point in the movie.
