The highly anticipated trailer for The Marvels dropped at D23, revealing Zawe Ashton’s character as the antagonist in the upcoming film. Ashton, who was cast in 2021, had been tight-lipped about her role, and fans were eagerly waiting for a glimpse of her character.

Ashton’s Character In The Marvels

In the trailer, Ashton can be seen surrounded by Kree, holding a staff similar to the one wielded by Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy. Her character exudes power and confidence, fitting perfectly into a movie full of strong female leads. Based on her staff, the Kree’s reverence for her, and her powerful aura, Ashton is speculated to be the new Accuser following Ronan’s demise in Guardians of the Galaxy. However, unlike Ronan, Ashton’s character is not blue and is likely the human-passing kind.

Ashton’s Powers

Ashton’s character appears to have powers that come from her tech and armor, as she is seen shooting a Captain Marvel-like blast from her wrist gauntlet. The intricate detailing on the dotted outlines up her chest and down her arms is also visible in the trailer.

Speculations about Ashton’s Character

Fans are speculating that Ashton’s character may be either of the current Accuser Corps members Inndig-O and Lauri-Ell, who have also wielded the Universal Weapon in the comics. However, until more information is revealed, these glimpses of her character are all fans have to go on.

The Marvels is shaping up to be an action-packed movie with an exciting villain played by the talented Zawe Ashton. Fans will have to wait until the film’s release to learn more about her character and how she fits into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
