Check out what several movie experts have to say about Captain Marvel:
#CaptainMarvel is RADICAL! An awesome 90s period piece & total recalibration of the MCU as we know it! From the brief Winter Soldier cameo to the six full episodes of Friends that play consecutively through a majority of the film’s runtime, this might be my favorite MCU flick yet

#CaptainMarvel is a hit. As a lot of us have been trying to tell a small crowd of folks, please do not hesitate if you are thinking of seeing the film. It’s going to leave you very happy & hoping for more much like Guardians.

1. Cat people will love this movie.
2. Several truly magnificent music moments for this 90s kid.
3. Carol's hero moment was very cathartic/true to the female experience, imho.
4. The MCU feels more complete now that Carol is in it. ♥️
#CaptainMarvel is pure joy. I cannot wait for the generation of little girls who will grow up with Carol Danvers as a hero.

Captain Marvel's star Samuel L. Jackson, who has played Nick Fury in all the MCU movies, has talked about Carol Danvers' superpower including time travel. Jackson has revealed in his earlier interviews how time travel is going to play a major role in bringing Carol Danvers to the present time when Thanos has used all the six Infinity Stones to decimate half the universe.
Even Avengers: Endgame movie synopsis reveals the importance of Carol Danvers. As per the official synopsis, following the devastating events caused by Thanos in Avengers 3 or Avengers: Infinity War, Earth's mightiest heroes do not have time to mourn their losses and the remaining Avengers on planet Earth have to come together to stop the Titan god and "call on the services of Captain Marvel."
Marvel Comics fans have been watching these superheroes on the big screen from the last two decades. From Iron Man to Thor, fans have fallen in love with these superheroes. But at the same time, it was genuinely hard for the creators to bring a new character to the team and make the fans fall in love with her over just one movie.
Endgame movie directors, Joe and Anthony Russo revealed in the past that it was always a concern from their end about one character overpowering other characters, and also added "we're all acutely aware of the dangers of having an overly powerful character. [But] we like sensitive storytelling, so... we found a thoughtful way through it."
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is slated to release on March 8, 2019, followed by Avengers: Endgame movie which is slated to release on April 26, 2019.
