'Captain Marvel' Has Marvel Fans Coming Up With Wild Theories for 'Avengers 4'

A newly-released batch of photos showcase the upcoming Marvel Studios solo film, which will see Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becoming a full-fledged superhero in the wake of the Kree-Skrull War. It's safe to say that hype is pretty darn high for the upcoming film, in part thanks to the story's larger role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Put yourself in our positions two years ago," Avengers co-writer Stephen McFeely explained in a recent interview. "We’re looking at a blank wall, and it says Avengers 3, Ant-Man and [the] Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers 4. So there are four big shoeboxes, and we’re responsible for the bookends.

“My hope is the conversation you and I will have a year from now, you’ll have a sense of the choices we’ve made over the course of an entire year of Marvel movies,” McFeely continued. “There’s a relationship between them all.”
