Mulgrew had starred on Voyager as Captain Kathryn Janeway, the first female lead on Star Trek series for seven seasons. Shortly after the end of the series, Mulgrew would briefly reprise the role in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis, showing the character as having been promoted to an Admiral in Starfleet.
With Captain Marvel poised to do big business at the box office this weekend, Carol Danvers is about to boldly go where no MCU hero has gone before.
