Waiting for Endgame? Why Not Check Out Captain Marvel? by Ashlyn Edgar

Captain Marvel is set to come out in theaters Friday, March 8, and will be the first new Marvel movie of the year. Brie Larson is set to play the lead role of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, with Samuel L. Jackson, returning as Nick Fury. The movie is set in the 1990s, which in relationship to the Marvel timeline is between Captain America: The First Avenger and Iron Man. According to Rotten Tomatoes, “The story follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races” (Boden).

Avengers: Endgame doesn’t come out until April 26, so for those who are still waiting to see the aftermath of Infinity War, think about checking out Captain Marvel over spring break. If you stuck around until after the credits of Avengers: Infinity War, you saw Nick Fury sending a message before he was “Thanosed” (as Mr. Horton would say), that had a similar symbol that Captain Marvel wears on her chest.
