Just a couple of days ago, director Anthony Russo appeared to clear up any speculation about Capatin Marvel appearing in Avengers: Infinity War by making it “official” that we won’t be seeing Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes until 2019’s Avengers 4.
So, that’s that question put to rest, right? Well, not exactly, as Anthony’s brother and fellow co-director Joe Russo has now seemingly revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Carol will in fact be introduced into the MCU in this April’s Infinity War:
“We have some great female characters in this,” said Joe. “Captain Marvel is in it, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, we have Wakanda is coming in and there’s a whole group of characters that are coming from the Wakandan universe, from the Black Panther universe. Amazingly strong characters, strong-willed characters, and we have the Guardians, and two of the Guardians are daughters of Thanos so there’s a really strong connection to the main villain of the story and I think you’ll see in the film that they’re very pivotal to the storyline and I think the arcs are fantastic so, we’re really really proud of being able to introduce Captain Marvel in this one.”
It is possible that Joe is referring to both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 as “this one”, but the duo have made it clear in recent days that they view the two as separate movies, so who knows?Fortunately, we don’t have long to find out either way.
My bet – Carol will appear in a post-credit scene, in the costume we saw back in January.
