We finally welcome Captain Marvel to the MCU.
The superhero embarks on her very own quest before she'll be a part of the highly anticipated
Avengers: Endgame.
Even though her film takes place in the 90's it does offer enough material to once again
speculate when it comes to the future of the MCU in general.
We will now talk about the 5 things that Captain Marvel reveals about the future of the MCU.
But please be aware that this video does contain spoilers for Captain Marvel.
So please check it out after you've already seen the film or really don't care about spoilers.
The Mid-Credit Scene
The Mid-Credit Scene of Captain Marvel isn't really that surprising.
We cut to Captain America who is still rocking his beard, Black Widow, War Machine and Bruce
Banner who are all assembled in the Avengers headquarters building.
The team is trying to figure the meaning behind Nick Furys pager.
Suddenly the pager stops transmitting a signal and while the baffled team tries to work on
the device Captain Marvel suddenly appears behind them and demands to see Fury.
After all she gave him the pager in case of emergencies.
This emergency is now here and Carol has kept her promise by answering the call.
Thus the mid-credit confirms Captain Marvels role as a key character within the endgame.
Which is something we kinda already knew.
The interesting thing about the scene though is its chronology within the MCU.
As already mentioned Cap still has his beard when Carol arrives.
The teaser trailer for Endgame showed him with a cleanly shaven face.
This is why Captain Marvel will probably arrive near the very beginning of the film.
Ant-Man will join forces with the team in a later point in time when Cap no longer has
the beard and Captain Marvel is nowhere to be seen.
This makes us believe that Captain Marvel has once again travelled to space in order
to find Tony Stark.
After all she is able to fly through space and could now attempt to resuce the Stark
who has is running out of fuel.
PS: There is another additional post credit scene.
In it the cute cat goose pukes out the tesseract.
In the movie we learn that this little guy is in fact a flerken – a powerful alien
creature.
Captain Marvel 2
As already mentoned Carol Danvers standalone film takes place in the 90's.
Near the end of the film she leaves earth and doesn't return until the post credit scene
which takes place in present day.
That means 20 years have passed since Captain Marvel last visited earth.
What did she do during that time?
Captain Marvel 2 could answer this question by following the the example set by Wonder
Woman and Wonder Woman 84.
While the first one focuses on Diana Princes adventures during WW1 the second film will
take place during the cold war.
Near the end of the film Carol flies off in order to put an end to the war between the
skrull and the kree.
Captain Marvel 2 could explore this story thus taking place before the events of endgame.
Which other creatures did she face during her time in space?
How did the war between the skrull and the kree end?
After all Guradians of the Galaxy featured Ronan the Accuser who was described as a kree
extremist.Why did he turn into an extremist?
What did he do?
And did Captain Marvel try to stop him again?
Captain Marvel 2 could also pave the way for new heroes like Adam Warlock or Nova, who
fights alongside Captain Marvel as part of the Nova Corps in the comic books.
New Heroines Captain Marvel marks the first female led
superhero within the Mcu.
The way for more heroines.
A Black Widow film is already scheduled.
But Captain Marvel also teases a new heroine: Carols best friend Maria Rambaeu has a young
daughter called Monica.
In the comic books Monica Rambeau actually turns into the superhero Photon.
Photon also held the Captain Marvel title herself at one point in time.
This is why Monica Rambeau could be a candidate for new avengers in a future phase of the
mcu.
By then the young girl will have turned into a young woman and may step into the footsteps
of her aunt Carol Danvers.
Another potential heroine may have already been introduced in „Ant-Man and the Wasp“.
After all Scott Langs daughter Cassie really wants to fight alongside her father.
This isn't too far fetched when we take the comics into consideration.
In the comic series Cassandra Lang becomes a superhero.
As stature or stinger she has the same abilities as her father and becomes part of the young
avengers.
Marvel probably wants to secure new superhero groups for the time after avengers 4 and we
may have been introduced to two future members already.
Which new characters would you like to see after avengers 4?
New Worlds
Captain Marvel takes place both in space and on earth.
We visit the homeworld of the kree and get to see other planets as well.
We experience the war between the kree and skrull which was raged on several planets.
The movie also alludes to something that Kevin Feige has talked about in the past before:
Everything will become more epic and we will see more different alien species.
Until now we only saw a part of that in the guardians of the galaxy and thor films.
But the MCU is going to get bigger.
With characters like Adam Warlock, the eternals and now captain marvel we have a variety of
heroes who travel through space.
This is why the MCU is set to get bigger and explore both new world and new characters.
The Skrull and Kree from „Captain Marvel“ only showed us the tip of the ice berg.
The power of the infinity stones The tesseract is once again of great importance
in Captain Marvel.
The scientist Dr. Lawson uses it to create a new speed engine.
And after this device explodes Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel due to the radiation.
That means her powers consist of both cree dna and the power of the infintiy stone within
the tesseract.
That explains Captain Marvels unbelieveable abilities – which come directly from an
infinity stone.
That is nothing new when it comes to the MCU.
Let's take Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver for example who originally were expereminted on
by hydra and who gained their respective abilities thanks to the mindsone.
Vision would be another prime example for the stones abilities to give their powers
to another being.
Is it possible that the film alludes to a popular theory, that assumes that the avengers
won't need another infinity gauntlet against thanos but become one themselves?
Capain Marvel would be representitive for the Space Stone, Scarlet Witch would represent
the Mind Stone,.
We could have other avengers as candidates for other stones.
Doctor Strange could certainly be the manifestation of the Time Stone, Hulk could inherit the
might of the power stone and Thanos or Gamora could carry the power of the soulstone within
them.
What do you think of that theory?
And which Avenger would you assign one of the infinty powers?
How did you like Captain Marvel?
