No. They are entirely different characters that actually coexisted way back when, as friends. They just had USAF Colonel Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel adopt the name of Kree Captain Mar-Vell to honor her dead friend.

There *was* sexbending in the movie but it wasn't Captain Meh herself: it was in replacing Kree Spy Walter Lawson with Kree Spy Wendy Lawson.

And it wasn't the sex-bending that made it a poor movie but the bad script, poor direction, and bad editing. (The CGI wasn't particularly good, either. It was closer to CW grade than other Marvel or DC movies. They cheaped out.)

The other gripe was in casting a 20-something trendy actress for the role of a 40-ish comic book character when there were established age-approoriate actresses of substance available and interested.
