10 Bold Predictions About Every Upcoming MCU Movie
1. And It Will Set Up Secret Invasion
Nobody knows where the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be heading in the long run, but Captain Marvel could offer a few hints about that, given that it's broadening the series' timeline by taking the action back to the '90s.
The shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrull will serve as a movie's antagonists, and there's probably a good reason it's set more than two decades before Infinity War.
What if Captain Marvel is about to drop a huge bombshell by confirming that the Skrull invaded Earth many decades ago and have been hiding in plain sight, masquerading as some of the world's mightiest heroes?
Confirmation that Carol Danvers will be up against the nefarious extraterrestrials has sparked wild fan speculation about which characters might actually be Skrulls in disguise. Nick Fury's name crops up a lot, with some claiming that his plan to bring the Avengers together was motivated by a sinister ulterior motive.
Regardless of whether the Skrulls have already found their way to Earth, their inclusion in Captain Marvel makes a Secret Invasion adaptation a strong possibility further down the line. There's a good chance this film is all about sowing seeds for the MCU's post-Thanos future.
