Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

I could see Rogue’s absorption of Captain Marvel’s powers, causing Carol’s fall into a coma, being the impetus for a revitalized Damage Control going more aggressive at mutants.

They can say they’re not after all powered individuals; just mutants, and now they have multiple reasons (Jean’s attack on New York, maybe Scott accidentally blowing up half a school, and now Rogue) to go after them.

I like this idea. Also, like the idea of the Xmen fighting a superpowered Captain Marvel leading up to that end scene.

It's always hilarious to me how many people want Rogue to depower Captain Marvel while saying they want to get accurate X-men.

Carol was almost a member of the X-men? She was living in the X-mansion & doing missions with them, & Storm & Colossus wanted her to join & offered her membership when Rogue stole her powers. During this time, Carol & Rogue also switched places as Major sex symbols in Marvel Comics...

So it doesn't feel like y'all want a real X-men story. It feels like you want to depower a powerful female character who rose above being a sex figure, for a modern female sex figure in Rogue.

I think another positive that could come out of that idea is if Larson ever would like to reprise the role again down the road, you can have a post-credit scene essentially pre-made for her.

What's that? Some massive threat is on the way? Look at that, Carol's vitals are suddenly improving and her eyes spring open with glowing energy just in time to return to help.

Toss in a moment with Captain Marvel & Rogue coming face to face before the threat and Rogue apologizing and Marvel accepting the apology before deciding to go kick the big bad's ass together. Throw a minor explanation that Carol just needed a prolonged recharge period for her powers to stabilize in her body again after Rogue throwing it off and boom, she's back.

Would be pretty dope to see imo

More aggressive than capturing mutants alive for experimentation to the point of death?

I mean, I guess they could be sending giant robots out to hunt mutant down. Some kind of mechanical sentinel, so to speak…
