Between the post-credits of Captain Marvel and the new Avengers: Endgame trailer, the amount of footage we’ve seen of Carol Danvers opposite Earth’s Mightiest Heroes adds up to to mere seconds, but the fans have already found a potential superhero pairing to ship.
In the trailer that dropped this morning, Carol’s arrival is saved for a near-wordless post-title stinger. The brief clip sees Thor looking into Captain Marvel’s eyes while he summons his weapon. As the Stormbreaker axe flies hazardously close to Carol’s head, she looks completely unfazed, and seeing how she didn’t flinch, Thor declares: “I like this one.”
We’d heard about this clip previously in reports from a Disney shareholders event earlier this month, but now that the internet has seen the footage with their own eyes, an enraptured Twitter fanbase is crying out for more Thor and Carol scenes.

Thor already found himself as one half of a popular pairing when he buddied up with Rocket in Avengers: Infinity War, and going by some leaked promo art that emerged last year, it’s likely that the two of them will be a duo once more in the upcoming sequel. Still, Captain Marvel will surely need somebody to bounce off, and as two immensely powerful, frequent space travelers, she and the God of Thunder could have plenty to talk about.
Another thing that the pair have in common is that they both presumably have pretty big grudges to bear against a certain Mad Titan. While it’s believed that Carol will be a key player in turning the tide against Thanos, it remains a fairly popular prediction that Thor will be the one to land the final blow against the purple tyrant, succeeding where he failed at the end of Infinity War. That’s just speculation for the time being, but we’ll find out what’s next for Thor and his new friend when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th.
