CAPTAIN MARVEL Directors Explain What a Goose Spinoff Film Would Entail
Goose The Cat was one of the more popular and most talked about characters that was introduced in Captain Marvel. Audiences seemed to love him because of the crazy unexpected part that he plays in the story.
As it turns out, the cat is actually a Flerken and the directors talked about Goose, what it is capable of, and what they would like to explore in a spinoff film.
In case you aren’t familiar with what a Flerken can do, when the tentacles of his sucked people into him, they are taken to another dimension. While talking to Empire Podcast, Boden and Fleck were asked about Goose and if he was always part of the plan, and they explained:
"Definitely always. It was one of the very very first ideas when we were all getting in a room together with the guys at Marvel and our co-writer. We were throwing ideas on a blackboard with no idea what the structure of the story is gonna be, just like what might we want to see from the comics in this movie, that was definitely one of like the very top things we always wanted to see in the movie. It's so awesome in the comics. I mean...a cat...who's a Flerken...who has pocket dimensions? I mean that is, there was no way that wasn't going to end up in this movie."
Fleck then went on to talk about what he would like to see a sequel explore and says he would like it to go inside the Flerken and envisioned a comedic scenario involving Talos.
"I wonder what goes on inside. Like you said if there were a spinoff, maybe we go inside the Flerken. Like what if Talos got sucked in and then you could spend time with a Flerken and Talos. It's what he feared all along, that he was going to end up in pocket dimensions inside that Flerken.”
Boden went on to expand on Talos’ fear of Flerkens, saying:
"Well, that's also from the comics. I mean in the comics it's Rocket who's scared of the Flerken, and we didn't have Rocket in this movie, but we just thought it would be so funny for Talso who's like our baddie, our villain, and he's kind of threatening this whole group of people and then he sees this little cute adorable cat and it scared the living bejesus out of him, so we thought that that was just a funny scene and a funny moment and so that's where we kind of flipped the idea and turned it into the Skrull that's scare of the Flerken.
I enjoyed Goose and I wish they would have actually explained that it serves as a gateway to pocket dimensions. I think that’s something cool that the audiences and fans would have liked to know.
Would you be up for a Marvel spinoff film that focuses on Goose?
