Lashana Lynch has revealed more about her work with Marvel Studios following her X-Men-related cameo in The Marvels' Binary.

On March 22, 2024, Lashana Lynch spoke to X-Men into the MCU, she hasn't yet had any conversations with Marvel Studios about actually ing the team. Lynch did express her excitement about the future, however, suggesting Maria Rambeau variants, perhaps including The Marvels' Binary, could return.

I mean, even that sentence, I’m like, 'Am I? That’s not a sentence that’s been put to me at all; we’ve not had a conversation about that. I dipped in for, I think a day. I think I had one day on that film which is wild for it to be so impactful. I was there for a day because I was on Matilda at the time, so that’s wild. I don’t know. I don’t know. I used to find it a little bit of a hindrance to not know as I like to know what’s coming and plan, but I love now that I don’t know. I love that I didn’t know that was happening. That’s something that came across time as a slow plan. Well, for me, anyway. They probably had it planned the whole time.

I genuinely don’t know what’s next, but I think with where the franchise is going, it’s naturally going to be exciting. And I’m excited to see where it goes next.

Where Could Lashana Lynch’s Maria Rambeau Appear Next?

Lashana Lynch hasn't yet been confirmed to be returning to the MCU as Maria Rambeau or any of her variants, but there are several projects that could easily include this exciting multiversal character. Following The Marvels' post-credits scene and the mystery of Monica Rambeau being trapped in another reality, it's very possible that Lynch will return to portray Maria Rambeau's Binary, perhaps helping Monica to return to her home reality. Binary is a version of Captain Marvel intrinsically connected to the X-Men, so there is a lot of potential for her to return given the X-Men team's debut.

It's also possible that further Maria Rambeau variants could be shown to be operating as Captain Marvel, following the appearance of Earth-838's Maria Rambeau as a member of the Illuminati in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. So far, Lynch has portrayed more versions of Captain Marvel than Brie Larson herself, so it would be great to see this explored further. It's possible that flashbacks could reveal more about the MCU's primary Maria Rambeau, perhaps through an investigation of SWORD. Whatever the future holds for Maria Rambeau after The Marvels, Lashana Lynch's excitement is certainly a positive sign.
