If a hero is only as good as their villain, Ben Mendelsohn has made a lot of heroes look really good. He hopes to do the same for Brie Larson’s titular protagonist in next year’s Captain Marvel. He also hopes to clear up a lot of bad press the Skrulls have received over the years, and maybe even make Skrullin’ happen.
Mendelsohn plays the villainous Talos, a leader of the shape-shifting Skrulls who also poses as Nick Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson) boss at S.H.I.E.L.D. In addition to invading Earth, Talos is in the middle of a war with another alien race, the Kree, from which Captain Marvel gets her powers.
Ben Mendelsohn on “Skrullin” and what makes ‘Captain Marvel’ a “beautiful, badass superhero story”

Ben Mendelson is hit or miss for me. He almost always overreacts.
