Warning. A potential Avengers: Endgame spoiler follows…
With the promotional campaign for Captain Marvel now in full swing ahead of the film’s release this March, Samuel L. Jackson has been chatting to Entertainment Tonight about the Marvel superhero blockbuster. More specifically, the Nick Fury actor discussed Carol Danvers’ (Brie Larson) powers and abilities, with his final commenting potentially featuring a spoiler for April’s Avengers: Endgame.
“She’s pretty much the strongest character — in terms of someone with powers are able to do things — in the Marvel universe. So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it’s gonna be a dynamite thing. I mean, [the Avengers] are up against some really, really tough odds right now — we saw throughout Infinity War — so now we know that we need something that’s as powerful as Thanos. And at some point, we’ll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she’s capable of. She’s one of the few people in the Marvel universe that can time travel, so…”
Now, it’s long been speculated that the surviving members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will be travelling through time in Avengers: Endgame as they look to undue ‘The Decimation’, using the Quantum Realm to do so following Janet Van Dyne’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) comments in Ant-Man and the Wasp about “time vortexes”. However, could that be wide of the mark, and it’s actually Captain Marvel who is key to this?
Alternatively, there’s also the possibility that Jackson is fully aware of the Endgame theories surrounding time travel, and is just having a little fun with the fans…
