Captain Marvel (At Least Her Logo)
The question of whether Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel would make her MCU debut in Infinity War or not has long been a discussion for fans. Recently, it was confirmed that Marvel higher-ups had decided that it would be best to keep Carol Danvers’ introduction for her own solo movie next year. However, that doesn’t mean the character has nothing to do with this one.
In the film’s aforementioned solitary post-credits scene, just before he turns to dust, Fury manages to send an S.O.S. on his communicator device. And the icon on the screen of his device will be instantly familiar to fans of the comics. With the star symbol and the blue and red motif, it’s clearly a nod to Captain Marvel.
Upon reflection, Avengers: Infinity War is packed enough without adding Brie Larson into the mix as well, but we’re pleased the character got a reference to some degree. It looks like the heroes will be getting some help when Avengers 4 rolls around next year and given the events of the end of the movie, they’ll need all the assistance they can get.
