Captain Marvel is releasing in India on March 8, but the first reviews are already out. Critics are already calling it one of the better Marvel movies, and a great start for Academy Award winner Brie Larson (Room) in her first superhero outing. Captain Marvel is directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden and also stars Samuel L Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Annette Benning, Clark Gregg, Gemma Chan, Lee Pace, Djimon Hounsou and Jude Law. Captain Marvel is set in the '90s and is about how the superhero fights the shape-shifting Skrulls while trying to find out the secrets of her own past. Captain Marvel Movie Review: Brie Larson Nails Her Superhero Outing and Gives You NO Reason to Complain.

When the film comes out on March 8, we are pretty sure that one thing Marvel fans would be pretty hyped about will be the mid-credit scene of the film. Like how the mid-credit scene of Doctor Strange played into Thor: Ragnarok, similarly, the scene in Captain Marvel has a key role to play in Avengers: EndGame. It also might solve the mystery as to who was the missing Avengers in the Endgame trailer. Captain Marvel: The Post-Credit Scenes Details of Brie Larson’s Superhero Film Are Out and They Have an Avengers EndGame Connection (SPOILER ALERT).

Don't know what we are talking about? Remember there was a lot of discussion about how in two scenes of the trailer, there were some obvious gaps when we see the superheroes in groups? Like the below scenes:

Before we go ahead with our theory, we have to warn our readers. If you want to protect yourself from Captain Marvel SPOILERS, kindly don't read ahead!

And if you do, well, we think you have already seen the film or are not the one for surprises! Now that we are done with the disclaimers, let's get back to the story.

So, in the mid-credit scene, we get to see Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and War Machine (Don Cheadle). They are what we presume to be in a lab at the SHIELD (or is it Wakanda?). We find out that these Avengers have gotten hold of the pager that Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) used to ping Captain Marvel, before he was decimated by Thanos' snap. As they wonder who he could be trying to sending a message, the pager stops beeping even though its battery is still working. The group is about to figure out what the heck happened, when Captain Marvel appears all of a sudden, shocking both them and us in the process. Avengers: Endgame Superbowl Trailer: Nebula’s ‘Sacrifice’, Captain America’s PTSD, Time Travel? – 11 Things You Might Have Missed in the New Marvel Promo.

Watch the trailer of Avengers: EndGame here:

Since Captain America is seen with his beard in this scene, and he is no so in the EndGame trailer, we can assume this event happens at the beginning of Avengers EndGame. If that's the case, then Captain Marvel has been with the Earth-bound surviving Avengers right from the start. Since it would have been spoiler-ish for Captain Marvel movie, Marvel executives could have edited her out from the trailer, focussing on the ones we had already met before. Smart move, we must say, as it leads to some very interesting speculations where Captain Marvel was. Now the new question we have is, will she save Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) who is stranded in space? We sure hope she does! Avengers: EndGame will release on April 26.
