Nia DaCosta’s Captain Marvel sequel has now formally arrived at the “Okay, let’s guess who the bad guy’s going to be” phase of its existence, with Deadline reporting that Zawe Ashton will be playing the villain in Brie Larson’s return to the role of everybody’s favorite cosmic MCU badass. Ashton is probably best known to audiences for playing Josephina in 2019's art-horror satire Velvet Buzzsaw, along with starring roles in Netflix’s Wanderlust and British comedy series Fresh Meat.
