Who is Dar-Benn? Mysterious villain in ‘The Marvels’

Zawe Ashton will be playing the gender-swapped version of Dar-Benn from the comics

Dar-Benn is a Kree soldier and a member of the Accuser Corps, a group of powerful warriors tasked with maintaining the Kree Empire's dominance in the galaxy

She is not a well-known character in the Marvel comics, making her inclusion in The Marvels all the more intriguing

Dar-Benn is expected to pose a formidable threat to the film's protagonists, Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan

The Kree have been depicted as a powerful and dangerous race of aliens with a rigid code of conduct in the MCU

Dar-Benn will likely be a fierce warrior, dedicated to her mission and loyal to the Kree Empire

The Kree have been engaged in a prolonged war with the Skrulls, another alien race that we have seen earlier in the MCU

Dar-Benn's presence in The Marvels may tie into the upcoming MCU TV series titled Secret Invasion, which deals with the invasion of Earth by Skrulls

Little is known about Dar-Benn's specific motivations and actions in the film, but we can expect her to be a significant antagonist

Ashton's real-life partner Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, may interact with her character in future Marvel projects
