Samuel L. Jackson has admitted that he wasn’t being truthful when he spoke about Captain Marvel’s time travel powers.
Captain Marvel is almost upon us and soon fans around the world will get to see for themselves just how powerful the character is and what she might be able to do in the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
One of the stars of Captain Marvel, Samuel L. Jackson, had previously teased that the hero utilised time travel abilities and that this could potentially play a part in the fight with Thanos. However, this doesn’t appear to be a power she actually possesses as the actor has admitted that he made that ability up after a long day on set.
Speaking to KROQ’s Kevin Ryder, the actor said: “We were just blowing smoke. It was actually a mistake, we were tired, end of the day, they had a bunch of people on set… They bring reporters to set and you’re working all day and they want you to stop in the middle of the day and go talk to a table full of people for nor reason. It’s like, “really?”
Although Captain Marvel doesn’t possess the ability to time travel, it has of course been heavily rumoured that Avengers: Endgame will see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes travelling through time in their efforts to undo ‘The Decimation’ and defeat the Mad Titan Thanos.
