Avengers Infinity War ending symbol: Why are fans going crazy about the after credits?

The final scene of Avengers: Infinity War was devastating for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe far and wide.

But the end teaser shows a new character may be about to make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and save everyone.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

In the post credit scene, Nick Fury sends a distress signal on a device before being destroyed himself.

The signal image? A star on a red and blue background — the abstract version of a superhuman woman, Captain Marvel’s Symbol.

Fans are rightly freaking out over the introduction of Carol Susan Jane Danvers known as “Marvel’s biggest female hero” by fan site Comics Alliance.

Brie Larson has been cast as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel for the solo movie, slated for release on March 6, 2019.

The next Avengers film will feature the superheroes who survived villain Thanos’ destruction, and Captain Marvel is likely to make an appearance.

The Captain Marvel symbol at the end of Avengers: Infinity War could be the answer to the Avengers problem.

Who is Captain Marvel?

Captain Marvel is an ex-pilot from earth whose DNA was infused with her her Kree alien co-pilot’s during an explosion, granting her superhuman powers.

The Captain Marvel solo film is set in the 1990’s and follows Danvers as she becomes Captain Marvel, during an intergalactic battle between Earth and two alien worlds.

The chance of her appearance in a fourth Avengers film is also very exciting to fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Captain Marvel has been both a member and ally of the Avengers in the Marvel Comics Universe continuity.

Why is Captain Marvel’s appearance so exciting?

Fan theories are circulating the internet. Reddit user TruthOfAlecius pointed out that, in the comics, there is a seventh stone called the Ego Stone, which Captain Marvel could use to bring down Thanos.

Another theory comes from Ant-Man’s Quantum Realm, a space between atoms where time and space are irrelevant.

Is it possible that the Avengers who were killed by Thanos can be brought back from this Quantum realm?

According to Reddit user accountfornerdstuff it is possible if Ant-Man and Captain Marvel team up.

Captain Marvel may also be capable of handling the stone Thanos used to destroy the Avengers.

The after credit teaser of Captain Marvel’s appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is creating a hotbed of theories and excitement.

But can Captain Marvel return Nick Fury’s call and rescue the Avengers?

We’ll have to wait for Spring 2019 to find out.

Captain Marvel release date is March 6, 2019. Avengers 4 release date is May 3, 2019.
