>Can you speak about that process, of taking all of the character work and exploration of Carol that I’m sure you had already been doing, but then projecting that out almost half a century? Was it a case of tracking the Carol you’re writing now, or trying to tell a story that can stand entirely on its own?
>KT: Well, it’s not half a century, that was a mistake in the solicit, it’s set in 2051. So for readers it’s not 50 years in the future but 31 years in the future. I think Carol in “The End” is certainly consistent with the character I’m writing in Captain Marvel now…but a lot has happened to her in those intervening years – both good and bad. When we first see her she’s in another galaxy, still fighting for justice, and she’s basically left earth, and almost her humanity itself behind. She’s magnificent but more closed off and lonely than the Carol we knew. More thoughtful and melancholy…more distant. And then something changes that.
>The first details offered are obviously tantalizing for Carol’s fans, with talk of her in “the deepest reaches of the cosmos to spread peace and justice,” now returning for a final chapter. What can fans expect, without spoiling any specific plot points?
>KT: Well, as mentioned, the solicit is a bit misleading. I would say that she has already BEEN into the deepest reaches of the cosmos to spread peace and justice, and now, something mysterious is bringing her home.
