Charlize Theron as Captain Marvel [DeepFake]

► Deepfakes are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness leveraging powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Some fan art that imagined how Charlize Theron would look in the role began circulating online last week though and now a lot of people have taken to social media to lament the fact that the Mad Max: Fury Road star wasn’t cast as Captain Marvel instead.
It was always clear that the studio wanted someone younger to play Captain Marvel from the start so that they could grow into the character over a number of years, with Larson only 26 when her casting was announced. Charlize Theron might be one of the finest talents of her generation, but she’s also fifteen years older than the person Marvel ultimately chose for the role. As such, it makes sense why she didn’t get the gig, but it’s also not like the actress hasn’t been doing exceptionally well for herself lately, firmly cementing her status as one of the industry’s biggest action stars.

imagine you download just a movie "template" and choose the actors you want for each character, scarry, but possible

Charlize Theron would have been a great choice!!

James Cameron was going to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as Spider-Man. Do that one!

[joannot]

These are getting more and more realistic.
I wouldn't be able to tell it was tempered with deepfake if I hadn't seen the movie.

[BingBangPoe]

Holy shit why didn't we actually get Charlize as Captain Marvel.

[rjr]

I actually didn’t mind Larson but I Charlize Theron would have been PERFECT

[billy-the-butcher]

This makes me realise how good Charlize would've been as Captain Marvel

[LeonardoGuerini]

Do Laurence Fhisburn in place of Samuel L Jackson.

[TBrianOnline]

Splendid.
Now we need a DeepFake that can also fix acting.

[prathurs]

I wished for years she would be cast. This brought that little beauty I had lost 🙌🏻

[freemanoxenholmes]

This will soon enable actors to also work from home like the rest of us

[DerektheDalek]

Nice! I always thought she’d make a great Susan Storm/Invisible Woman myself.

[jumpcity]

never thought about here. She could have been amazing in the role.

[MatthewWeiler]

It's nice to see what Captain Marvel could have looked like.

[saifblade]

i like brie larson, but i got to say this deepfake makes the character feel more alive and human than the original.

[idanshahar]

She still has the jawline.. DeepFake should start addressing those facial features as well.. it just changes the inner face.

[jhk]

Huge improvement. Acting still flat due to Larsons voice acting being no where near what Theron could bring, but still amazing.

MCU: "Good grief! What a mistake we have done and What an opportunity we missed!"

[Optimusprime]

This makes me sad because I wanted Charlize to play Carol as soon as I heard she was getting a film :( This looks so good!

[LonelyOutlaw]

I'd like to see. The T-800 in "terminator: salvation" fixed
