Goose the flerkenmakes her triumphant returninThe Marvels,reuniting with Larson’s interstellar hero Carol Danvers.

“That’s why you have two cats.

So, if one goes, ‘Do you know what?
They both have their strengths and weaknesses, so they back each other up that way.”
When they’re not socializing with superheroes, both Nemo and Tango are ordinary cats living in ordinary homes.
“Cats are so different to dogs,” Vaughan explains.
“Cats are naturally quite nervous because that’s what keeps them safe.
So, you have to slowly teach them that nothing around is going to harm them or bother them.
It is quite a slow process.”
“I hope that changes.
But until it does, a lot of the CGI budget goes towards me and the cat.”
(Or might they be flerkens?)
“It was massive fun,” Vaughan adds.
“Everybody turned up to watch the kittens.
How can you not?
They were so much fun and naughty!
Still, are Nemo and Tango ready for their close-up?
Are they aware of their impending stardom, counting down the days untilThe Marvelshits theaters?
Not exactly, Vaughan says with a laugh.
“They’ve got however many fans of Goose around the world, and they’re literally oblivious.
They’re just off doing their own thing.”
The Marvelsis in theaters Nov. 10.
