Kevin Feige Says Brie Larson’s ‘Captain Marvel’ Will Lead The MCU

In an interview for Captain Marvel: The Official Movie Special, Kevin Feige discussed how Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers will lead the MCU moving forward.

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame will mark the conclusion of the first decade worth of MCU stories, with many suspecting lead heroes such as Iron Man and Captain America will take their final bows by the time the film ends. However, Kevin Feige noted Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel will soon take the lead after Avengers: Endgame concluded the first three phases of the MCU and recounted how her appearance at Comic-Con after landing the role foreshadowed this:

“When we found out that Brie Larson might be interested in joining our world, we had a number of meetings. She was a huge fan of the character in the comics. One of the highlights of my career at Marvel was introducing her at Comic-Con and having her come out on stage and stand there with literally almost everybody else from our movies. There she was at the forefront, and it was a great foreshadowing – not just for how audiences are going to embrace Brie as this character, but also for how Captain Marvel is about to take the lead and be at the forefront of the entire Cinematic Universe.”

Brie Larson will reprise her role as Captain Marvel in Avengers: Endgame.

A culmination of 22 interconnected films the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Benedict Wong, Jon Favreau, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, with Gwyneth Paltrow, with Josh Brolin as Thanos.

Avengers: Endgame will be released in theaters on April 26, 2019.
