Captain Marvel played a big role in Avengers: Endgame, helping the rest of the heroes fight Thanos and his armies, but her absence during most of the film wasn’t explored – and Captain Marvel 2 can fill in all those blanks. The first wave of films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, collectively known as the Infinity Saga, came to an end in 2019 with Spider-Man: Far From Home, which offered a glimpse at life post-Iron Man and final snap following the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Life at the MCU will continue with the introduction of new characters like the Eternals and Shang-Chi, as well as the return of well-known heroes, such as Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers made her big screen debut in 2019, in a story set in the 1990s which also served to answer some questions about the MCU (though it also created a couple of plot holes). Carol returned in Avengers: Endgame, where she rescued Tony Stark and Nebula and helped the surviving heroes confront Thanos, but after the five-year time jump, she left and came back until the third act of the film.
Carol arrived just in time to help all the superheroes and allies during the battle against Thanos, but Avengers: Endgame never explained what she was up to before she came back – luckily, this can be addressed in Captain Marvel 2.
Once Thanos was killed by Thor at the beginning of Avengers: Endgame, the story jumped five years into the future, with the world still trying to adapt to life without half the population. By then, Carol was still part of the Avengers, though she wasn’t working on Earth with the rest. Instead, she was monitoring other planets that were still recovering from the snap. After that holo-conference, Carol wasn’t seen again in the film until the Battle of Earth, where she (conveniently) arrived just in time to avoid a major catastrophe that would have killed many of the MCU heroes, including fan-favorite Spider-Man. Carol crashed through the Sanctuary II and later helped get the Nano Gauntlet to safety. Once the battle was over, Carol appeared at Tony Stark’s funeral, and it’s unknown what she did next.
Captain Marvel 2 can not only show what Carol’s next mission in the post-Endgame universe will be but it can also take some time to explain where and what exactly she was doing before she came back to fight in the Battle of Earth. The film can show Carol on some of the planets she was helping, which would not only reveal how other planets and races were dealing with the snap but also how she established relationships with them, which can come in handy in this or future stories. How exactly she helped other planets is also a mystery, which can be answered in Carol’s upcoming solo adventure. While Avengers: Endgame was an exciting event and finally brought all the heroes in the MCU together, it also left a lot of questions unanswered, which will hopefully be addressed in some of the upcoming films.
