If you’re a big supporter of the Carol Corps and can’t wait for Captain Marvel to make her live-action MCU debut, hold onto that feeling for a little while longer.

“But wait”, you say, “wasn’t there just an interview with the Russo Brothers claiming Captain Marvel debuts in the movie?” Well, yes and no. The interview, which reveals Captain Marvel was planned to appear somehow in Infinity War, is newly released. Joe Russo even said he loved her costume. However, it’s from a set visit taken last year during filming, and was only recently allowed to be released.

What’s happened since then? For starters, San Diego Comic Con 2017, where the Russos said Carol Danvers wouldn’t debut until her 2019 solo movie. This is technically newer information than these recently published interviews. Also fresher press are the set photos of Brie Larson in costume. There were conflicting reports on just what the filming was for. Depending on who you asked, it was either an early start on the Captain Marvel film to take advantage of tax breaks before putting filming on hiatus to resume later this year, or it was for a scene in Infinity War or even possibly Avengers 4.

Although there’s a lot of confusing information to process, one voice has come down from the heavens to make things clear: Disney has confirmed that any word of Captain Marvel in Avengers: Infinity War is old news, and the current stance is that she won’t appear.

Might they be trying to hide a surprise in the post-credits scene? It’s certainly possible, but don’t get your hopes up. Brie Larson will take flight in the role when she’s meant to, and any way you cut it, it’ll be in less than a year.
