There have been whispers across the Marvel fandom for some time now that we could expect Carol Danvers (a.k.a. Captain MarvelOpens in a new tab), whose own standalone film is set to release in March of 2019Opens in a new tab, to show up in one of the Avengers films as well. Though Marvel insisted that Danvers would not be making an appearanceOpens in a new tab in Infinity War, the internet has been abuzz with unconfirmed rumors concerning the character’s involvement in Avengers 4, and sightings of Brie Larson on the May 2019 film’s set. And now, we have official word on the matter.

In an interview with IndiewireOpens in a new tab, Feige not only confirmed that Captain Marvel will appear in Avengers 4, but that her story will be a huge part of the conclusion of Marvel’s Phase 3Opens in a new tab. As Feige explained, “We’re really focusing on Captain MarvelOpens in a new tab and the work that Anna and Ryan are doing. It’s going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years. Really, the focus now is on delivering Captain MarvelOpens in a new tab and then bringing Captain Marvel’s storyOpens in a new tab into the finale of everything we’ve started thus far.”

With the huge success of DC’s Wonder WomanOpens in a new tab, it’s great to see that Marvel will also be investing in their female characters, a whole lot of whom will be introduced in Thor: RagnorakOpens in a new tab and Black PantherOpens in a new tab. On Captain Marvel, Feige doesn’t get into specifics of how her story will bleed into Avengers 4. However, since the Captain Marvel film is set in the ’90s, it stands to reason that when we first meet her in Avengers she’ll already be an established hero, and the standalone film will give us her origin story.
