The Avengers: Endgame countdown has truly begun as we head into the year in which the Marvel film is released. Along with Captain Marvel, comic book fans have plenty to look forward to. Avengers: Endgame will be out in cinemas this spring, and until then there is plenty of time for fans to come up with a plethora of new theories…

What does THIS leak mean for Captain Marvel?

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Samuel L Jackson let slip some details and the Internet is reacting accordingly.

The actor, who has played Nick Fury nine times in the Marvel series, sat down to discuss the upcoming Captain Marvel solo movie, in which he features prominently.

When they got to discussing Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, Jackson said: “She’s pretty much the strongest character – in terms of someone with powers are able to do things – in the Marvel universe.

“So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it’s gonna be a dynamite thing.

Whether Jackson knew he was confirming a long-standing theory about time travel or not, the Flerken is out of the bag now.

Months ago, fans parsing the set photos for Avengers: Endgame spotted a clue to the time travel plot.

These photos showed Captain America, Ant-Man, and Iron Man with circular like devices on their hands.

Eagle-eyed Marvel fans spotted that they look strikingly similar to Thanos’ time travelling devices.

The Avengers costume suits are covered in motion capture dots, which means that visual effects will likely be used in addition for those scenes.

Even keener-eyed Avengers lovers noticed the costumes were anachronistic.

One fan tweeted: “Based on set pictures, the current fan-theory is that Tony Stark will use time travel to try and stop Thanos in Avengers 4.

“These photos of Ant-man with the 2012 Avengers, wearing some sort of wrist device makes the theory reasonable. Hmmm…”

How prominently Captain Marvel will feature in Avengers: Endgame remains to be seen.

But her time travelling abilities are likely to be integral to the resurrection of the fallen Avengers.

Captain Marvel is out in cinemas on March 8, 2019.
