The Russo's might have just confirmed Captain Marvel for Avengers: Infinity War Part 1.

During an event at the Smithsonian Institute, the Russo's were speaking about the upcoming Infinity War, when they mentioned Captain Marvel by name. A fan quickly pounced, asking "did you just confirm Captain Marvel". Russo replied "Um....Captain Barvel. Totally different character." You can see the reactions to the comment via the #MarvelatSI hashtag here.

It is pretty safe to say that the Avengers will not be enlisting the services of Captain Barvel, though I'm amazed there isn't already a character going by that moniker. Safe to say that when Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 debuts in 2018, it will include Carol Danvers in some way, and hopefully at some point, in costume.
