One of these actors was Jude Law playing Yon-Rogg, Carol Danvers Kree mentor on Hala.
Seemingly trustworthy at first,Yon-Rogg turns out to be the films main villainasthe Krees true motivesare revealed.
Yon-Rogg had the makings of a decent villain, but his potential was ultimately wasted on limited screen time.
Luckily for Law, he got to reprise his role as Yon-Rogg in season 2 ofWhat If…?
A character cant really develop if theyre only limited to one appearance, especially villains who need fleshed-out motives.
Yon-Rogg was a somewhat interesting twist villain because the Kree are introduced as Carols ultimate allies.
He killed Carols original mentor and weaponized her newfound powers for the very cause she was helping to fight.
Spending more time on him couldve made him feel more sinister, but his characterization was pretty underwhelming.
He said,I wish Id been allowed to have a bit more fun with the part.
I wanted him to be more arch.
Yon-Rogg’s What If…?
This version of Yon-Rogg was freed from prison to aid Nebula, though he eventually turned on her.
Nebula is able to regain control of the mission and Yon-Rogg meets his demise.
The tone ofWhat If…?leans toward humor, so Law did get his wish in a way.
Its especially notable since it doesnt look like Marvel has any intention of bringing his character back at all.
