In similar terms to the Cinematic Universe transition, Carol also perfectly fits into just about every MCU project currently running or on the horizon. The recent episode of Marvels Agents of SHIELD introduced a Kree male, and it just so happens that Carol Danvers got her powers from basically the same transfusion that two characters from the show just received (cr*p, did I just say that?!?!?). Secondly, the new Guardians of The Galaxy film will feature Ronan The Accuser who is also a Kree warrior, another link to that race. While it is still early and reports are still coming in, we do know that Netflix will be running several Marvel based TV shows in the near future, one of which should be the show Alias starring Jessica Jones, who just happens to be (you guessed it) Carol Danvers' BFF. Basically, she's a bridge between the Defenders, the Cosmic Universe, the regular MCU and even Agents Of SHIELD at a pinch, and drafting her into the superhero fray could solve all sorts of continuity coincidences and headaches the writers will need to circumvent to bring the disparate elements of their universe together.
