Nov. 23 (UPI) — British actor Jude Law is in talks to co-star with Brie Larson in “Captain Marvel.”
The Hollywood Reporter said Friday that it is unclear what role the “The Young Pope” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” actor is up for in “Captain Marvel.”
Variety described the part as the male lead, but also said it had no further details about who he is.
