Captain Marvel Trailer: 5 Huge Plot Hints

5. Carol Danvers Has Forgotten Who She Is

This is the most obvious plot point throughout the trailer, as the opening establishes her as a fish-out-of-water on Earth. So when she somehow made it to Space - the Kree might have wiped her memory, which could be what they're doing in the shot of her upside down in a machine. But however she lost her memory, it's quite possible this is Marvel's backdoor route into doing an origin story.

We're going to cross the streams over to Fox for a second to borrow from their origin story methods in Deadpool. Throughout the first film, his backstory was explained through flashbacks and memories. It was an unconventional superhero origin story, while still giving us the main adventure. Captain Marvel could be adopting a similar style.

She tells Nick Fury that she keeps getting flashes of memories, as if she had a life on Earth. Obviously we know she did, she was a pilot in the airforce. So if the film opens with her crash landing in Blockbuster, and the main story is Carol trying to figure out who she was - chances are all the flashbacks will explain how she got her powers and became a Kree warrior. Maybe.
