Brie Larson introduced Marvel fans to Carol Danvers on the big screen in 2019 in Marvel Studio’s first female-driven superhero film Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers, with the help of Nick Furry and the newly created SHIELD program, figures out the truth about her past while also helping to save planet Earth from an intergalactic conflict. The next time we see Carol Danvers is in the end credits of Avengers: Infinity War. After that, she makes a brief appearance in Avengers: Endgame while she helps defeat Thanos.
Fans of Captain Marvel are looking forward to what this sequel will bring. For those who cannot wait until 2022, there is a recent comic book run for fans to enjoy:
