One of the uniqueness of the Captain Marvel movie is the timeline. This movie happened in 1990! At that time, SHIELD still existed, figures like Alexander Pierce still alive and unknown as HYDRA members, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson are young, while in space Ronan the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer are still alive. We will see the Marvel universe, both space and Earth, with a fresh perspective.
In addition, the selection of actors and movie characters also allows at least six Marvel Cinematic Universe mysteries below to be discussed and answered. Anything? Let's see.
- Where Is Carol Danvers In The Modern Era?
Since it was announced, the premise of Captain Marvel alone has aroused speculation. If the movie happened in 1990, what happened to Carol Danvers? Is he settled in Kree? Retired as a superhero? Experiencing a similar fate with Cap, only in space? Or is he exposed to a phenomenon like a wormhole, then so liberated he was already in 2018?
Captain Marvel comic version is one of the strongest Earth heroes. Which version of Cinematic Universe also seems so. He should be able to help Avengers overcome the threats of Chitauri, Ultron, and even Thanos. Apparently he will not be involved Infinity War either. I wonder why?
- What Happened To Nick Fury's Eye?
Mystery Marvel Cinematic Universe this one had felt will not be answered. Since it first appeared, Nick Fury's version of MCU has long since lost one eye. (Just like him in Ultimate version and Marvel's main universe anyway). Fury was used to the disability. Instead, he uses his damaged eyes as a backup plan when something happens in SHIELD, as he points out in The Winter Soldier.
But still, it seems there is a curious audience: how Fury lost one eye?
Given Captain Marvel would happen in the 90s, maybe we can finally see for ourselves how the incident that caused Fury lost one eye. The author really suspected that the eyes of Fury are lost next to the alien act, not just because of the attack from the human enemy.
- Everywhere Nick Fury After Age of Ultron?
Still in touch with Nick Fury, the author feels Captain Marvel will answer the mystery to where he actually lost after Age of Ultron.
Last seen, Fury has collected the loyal SHIELD remnants to fly Helicarrier assist Avengers in Sokovia. Then he and his men disappeared, although he should be very useful in Civil War. Now, in Infinity War even SHIELD and Nick Fury are not in the promo material.
Perhaps Fury and SHIELD members are hidden first and will appear surprising in Infinity War. But the author is suspicious of Marvel Cinematic Universe mystery this one will be answered in Captain Marvel.
Possible: Fury knows that Thanos will come since the Age of Ultron. Then he, who knew Carol Danvers, had been looking for the mighty woman for a long time. If true, mid-credits Captain Marvel could have shown an old Fury splashing into Carol if the Earth is in danger, so Captain Marvel slid into Avengers 4.
- What Makes Ronan So Mad at GotG?
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan the Accuser is a fanatic. He continued the war with Xandar despite being not officially endorsed by Kree. He even plans to destroy Xandar with Power Stone. The ambition was almost successful, luckily Star-Lord and GotG could stop him.
Given the Captain Marvel will happen in the past, we may be shown Ronan in times where he is at least more sane. Then the exact reason why he was so angry with Xandar can be explained.
Was it Ronan at GotG that was Skrull, and the original Ronan had been arrested or killed? That is an interesting possibility.
- What Happens to the Skrulls?
At The Avengers, Marvel Studio uses the Chitauri race as a warrior of Loki to be confronted by Captain America and his comrades. Interestingly, Chitauri was used as a substitute for Skrull in The Ultimates comic. So there is the impression Marvel uses Chitauri because Skrull is a package with a Fantastic Four license, which they can not use.
But apparently not, Skrull will be used on Captain Marvel. Then why this race transformer is inaudible today? Does this movie end with the annihilation of their people? They decided to hide after losing from Kree in this movie? Or they decide to get ready to infiltrate the Earth and actually have replaced certain figures for the preparation of Secret Invasion?
