Captain Marvel Is Coming
The question of whether Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel would make her MCU debut in Avengers: Infinity War or not has long been a discussion for fans. Recently, it was confirmed that Marvel high-ups had decided that it would be best to keep Carol Danvers’ introduction for her own solo movie next year. However, that doesn’t mean the character has nothing to do with this one.
The film’s solitary post-credits scene sees the return of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) for the first time since 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. The pair are tragically affected by Thanos wiping out half of the universe, but before he turns to dust, the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director manages to send an S.O.S. message.
The icon on the screen of his device will be instantly familiar to Marvel comics fans, too. With the star symbol and the blue and red motif, it’s clearly a nod to Captain Marvel, meaning Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will be getting some help when Avengers 4 rolls around next year.
