Captain Marvel Is Coming
Before he turns to dust himself, Nick Fury is able to send an S.O.S. on his old-fashioned pager. The emblem and colour scheme on the screen tells us everything we need to know about who he’s contacting: Captain Marvel‘s coming!
Though we don’t get to meet Brie Larson’s superheroine here, these final moments of Avengers: Infinity War do a nice job of teasing Carol Danvers’ arrival in the MCU next year, as Captain Marvel is released in March of 2019. It also leaves us with many questions: we know that the movie is set in the 1990s, so where has Carol been all this time? If Fury still has a way of contacting her, why didn’t she help out with the Chitauri invasion or Ultron’s attack?
Apart from setting up her own solo movie, this scene also suggests that Captain Marvel will have some sort of role to play in Avengers 4 as well. We’ve been told that Carol’s power set will be pretty incredible, so she could prove to be a key weapon against Thanos, much like the role Adam Warlock played in The Infinity Gauntlet comic.
