Moviegoers who were patient enough to watch the post-credit scene of “Avengers: Infinity War” were in for a treat when the ace up Nick Fury’s sleeve turned out to be Captain Marvel. For the initiated (those knowledgeable about Marvel Comics), they know that Captain Marvel is “Marvel’s biggest female hero” and “quite possibly Marvel’s mightiest Avenger.”

Most viewers probably gasped at the aftermath of Thanos’s snap and wondered how what’s left of the Avengers would be able to defeat the Mad Titan, who was mighty enough to wield all six stones infinity at once. With the help of Captain Marvel, their odds of doing so will rise exponentially.
But before we get to see the Avengers battle Thanos again in the unnamed-yet sequel, Captain Marvel and her alter-ego, Carol Danvers (to be played by Brie Larson), will grace the big screen first in March 2019.
Marvel Studios have always been great at keeping things under wrap and preventing big spoilers from coming out prior to their movies’ release dates. However, some details have already been made public, such as the following:
It will be set in the 1980s and 1990s and serve as an origin story, telling of how Danvers gained her superpowers.
Nick Fury, who is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, will be in the limelight once more – this time with both eyes still intact. The movie will also show Fury’s first encounter with a superhero.
Fan-favorite Agent Phil Coulson will make his way back to the silver screen. His role will be reprised by Clark Gregg.

Captain Marvel will help protect Earth as the planet will be caught in the center of an intergalactic conflict between Skrulls, a shape-shifting alien race, and Krees, a militaristic alien race that was first introduced in the MCU in “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
The film is currently in principal photography and already halfway completed.
