If you want to know how to watch Captain Marvel, you’ve come to the right place. Bridging the gap between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, 2019’s Captain Marvel takes us back in time to 1995 on a fantastical journey starring some familiar faces from the MCU.
Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel is a Kree warrior with extraordinary powers who can’t pinpoint her personal history. She’s sent on a daring journey that sends her crash landing to Earth, where she’s tracked by a younger version of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Though the pair is wary of each other to start, they find that they’ll need to rely on each other to uncover the truth about a plot that threatens the universe as they know it.
Not only does Captain Marvel pave the way for the events of Avengers: Endgame, but it takes us back to a simpler time on a dazzling adventure that keeps its viewers glued to their seats.
