Avengers 4 theory: Carol Danvers DIES in Thanos’ Snap in Captain Marvel end credits scene

Next year Captain Marvel gets her own solo movie, one that is set in the mid-1990s.

However, we know she’ll play a role in Avengers 4 since the Avengers Infinity War post-credits scene saw Nick Fury contact her just before he turned to dust.

No doubt the Captain Marvel end credits scene will feature a teaser for Avengers 4, but a new fan theory reckons Carol Danvers dies in the snap too.

Reddit user ChovvyChofChop writes: “So I’ve seen a lot of theories regarding Avengers 4, and I even have some theories of my own, but I can’t seem to place where Captain Marvel would fit in.”

They continued: “Given all of the set photos that we’ve seen and some plot information people have managed to piece together, it seems like Iron Man and Ant-Man are going to have substantial roles in Avengers 4.

“This led me to think about where Captain Marvel fits in.

“I think Captain Marvel’s post-credits scene will be set in the present day with her receiving Fury’s pager message.

“But just as she sees that she’s needed, she begins to turn to dust and is confused as to what is happening.”

They added: “Cut to black with a similar tagline appearing like the one we saw in Ant-Man & The Wasp (‘Ant-Man & The Wasp will return…?’)

“This sets up more hype for Avengers 4 and subverts audience expectations as everyone is expecting Captain Marvel to swoop into Avengers 4 and save the day.

“This also lends the story to be more core-Avengers focused and have it be up to them to save the day.

“I believe Captain Marvel will still be in Avengers 4, possibly after the original Avengers reverse the snap, but she will not be a major player for the majority of the film.”

Meanwhile, Avengers 4 is rumoured to be titled Avengers Annihilation.

The name was leaked by MCU Cosmic and other Hollywood writers claim there have been angry phone calls at Disney.

Hopefully, an official announcement will arrive sooner rather than later.

Captain Marvel is released in UK cinemas on March 8, while Avengers 4 will follow on April 26, 2019.
