When IGN and a small group of press visited the Atlanta set of Avengers: Infinity War in 2017, we knew that Captain Marvel was rumored to appear in Infinity War. At the time, we received confirmation that she would indeed be in the film while talking to both the directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, and writers, Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. We even spotted actress Brie Larson’s personal mailbox on our walk through the production office, meaning she had been filming on this very set.

However, soon after that set visit, the Russos revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 that Captain Marvel would not be appearing in Infinity War, after all. The assumption is now that Carol Danvers will make an appearance in Avengers 4, which releases May 2019, only three months after her solo movie, Captain Marvel, debuts in March. Even though she is no longer in Avengers: Infinity War, we still learned some interesting details about how the writers and directors -- who are also behind Avengers 4 -- plan to use the character.The meatiest bit came from Markus, who made it sound like Carol has a personality similar to Steve Rogers, only with a bit more oomph.“[Captain Marvel is] in some ways the closest to Captain America which is a weird, now rare kind of character which is sort of a person who’s right and knows they’re right and doesn’t really want to hear it when you tell them they’re wrong,” Markus said. “So, with all these flawed, f***ed up people and Quill who’s a mess and Tony who’s a massive ego all contorted. It’s fun to get another person with a clear vision in there and going, ‘Shut up.’”Another piece of information came from Joe Russo. When asked which character had the best costume in Infinity War, he said, “I think Captain Marvel had a great outfit.” But we’re actually not sure which costume he was referring to.Select press were shown concept art of her costume , which looked like the red, blue and yellow version of the comics, but recently leaked set photos showed her wearing a costume colored black and green , possibly relating to her Kree origins. (There’s also speculation that her green costume is a green screen version of the actual suit, though that seems unlikely.) We don’t know what her look was going to be in Infinity War, but given how many eye-catching superhero suits we’ve seen in the trailers, it must have been mighty impressive for Joe to choose it as the best.From what else we’ve gathered, Captain Marvel will be an action-comedy that takes place in the ‘90s. It will also feature a younger version of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury (before he lost his left eye), and we know that meeting Captain Marvel will be his first experience ever encountering a superhero . The villains will be the shape-shifting, green aliens known as the Skrulls.
