The Captain Marvel movie is set in 1995 and follows Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, as she tries to protect Earth which is caught up in the middle of an alien altercation. In this movie, Lashana Lynch plays Maria, Carol Danver’s best friend.
Lashana steals the show as Captain Maria Rambeau, a former United States Air Force pilot who ends up fixing up old aeroplanes before reuniting with Carol, who everyone thought died in a plane crash years earlier. Maria helps Danvers and Nick Fury to fight the Kree and would later create S.W.O.R.D and became its director. If you watched Marvel’s Wanda and Vision, you’d recognize Monica Rambeau, Maria’s daughter, who was only a child when Captain Marvel came to earth.
She is set to reprise her role as Maria Rambeau in the upcoming movie The Marvels (2023).
3. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

With the Multiverse comes new possibilities, like characters making a comeback as different people in another universe. Although Lashana played Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel (2019), in this film, she plays Captain Marvel, part of a superhero team loyal to the Illuminati. Unexpected plot twist, right? Lashana Lynch admitted that the possibilities of the Multiverse were unique because even death isn’t the end of your character in the MCU. Here is a movie review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
4. No Time To Die (2021)

Daniel Craig said goodbye to the James Bond character in the latest installment of the 007 movie franchise, No Time to Die (2021). Which was one of the many reasons the movie made a record-breaking $56 million in its first week. In the film, James Bond is no longer an MI6 agent, instead living a quiet life with Madeleine in Jamaica – or at least he tries to.
The movie is three hours long and gives us a close enough look at Lashana as the next 007. Lynch plays Nomi, an MI6 agent sent to find James Bond to help with the new villain in town who happens to have a connection to Madeleine. Nomi is captivating and witty on screen, giving us hope for what the future of the franchise will look like. Lynch described her character in the movie as a ninja-strong, savvy, and funny woman who pushes Bond to think in a way he isn’t used to. And she delivered.
5. Still Star Crossed (2017)
