MCU Phase 5: 10 Insane Predictions You Need To Know

6. Monica Rambeau As Captain Marvel

For those not in the know, Carol Danvers was not only NOT the original Captain Marvel, she wasn't even the first replacement. No the original female Captain Marvel was a Black woman named Monica Rambeau, who replaced the original Captain Marvel when Marvel realized that nobody gave a rat's ass about him.

You may already know Monica as the adorable little girl in the first Captain Marvel film, but as Avengers Endgame - as well as the new trailer for WandaVision - has shown, a lot of time has passed since then, and Monica is now a grown woman.

So what if at the end of either the second or third Captain Marvel movie, something happens to Carol to make her give up the mantle, and she gives it to Monica?

I mean, why not? After all, Monica is a fun as hell and really cool character in the comics so more of her is always a good thing. With her making more appearances in the current phase, they're clearly building up to something with the character, so hopefully we're looking at the arc of the next Captain Marvel.
