The marketing blitz forAvengers: Endgameis well underway, which means we now have the first clip from the upcoming superhero epic. In the clip, the characters hatch their scheme to acquire the Infinity Stones and undo the Thanos’ snap, but during their conversation, Rhodes (Don Cheadle) asks where Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) has been all this time. She explains that Earth isn’t the only planet that needs protecting, and, in case you didn’t know, it also has a wealth of superheroes already.
This ties back toKevin Feige’s earlier commentsthat perhaps Nick Fury did try to call Captain Marvel in the past, but one way or another, she knew that there were superheroes already on the job. And to be fair to the character, this is the first time in MCU history where the entire universe has been on the line, not just Earth. If you see Captain Marvel as an intergalactic protector and not just one for Earth, her actions make some semblance of sense. That being said, it’s still difficult to square her actions of protecting other planets when there are people on Earth she cares about, so perhaps that will be more fleshed out in her future movies. It’s a minor point, and ultimately not worth getting bogged down in.
