And Kara already shares some similarities with the current Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers. Notice the same last name? They are both agents of an organization about aliens (DEO and S.W.O.R.D.). They both have blonde hair and can fly and have super strength. They both have physiology of alien races that start with KR. Yeah, it would be hard for Marvel Studios to make their Captain Marvel film.

whoa whoa whoa wait a second. You really messed things up here.

The Character Carol Danvers known as Captain marvel is the Captain marvel from MARVEL COMICS and don't have ANYTHING to do with DC Comics (originally Fawcett Comics) Captain Marvel Billy Batson and his Marvel Family!

DC Comics AND Marvel Comics BOTH have a Superhero that is called "Captain Marvel", but DC Comics changed the Name of their Hero to Shazam with their "New 52" Reboot. The current Captain Marvel from DC Comics is STILL Billy Batson!

Also "Supergirl" debuted in 1959 was adopted by Fred and Edna Danvers and took the Name Linda Lee Danvers in her first Comic Run. Thats why he is named KARA DANVERS in her new TV Show.

But probably is this also the reason for Marvel Comics "Captain Marvel" named Danvers too. Marvel Comics has copied Characters from DC Comics often enough.
