Even though Captain Marvel takes place almost two decades before the events of Marvel's Infinity Saga, it was actually filmed after the latter story's concluding event - Avengers: Endgame.
Avengers: Infinity War and its follow-up were filmed back-to-back in the summer of 2017, while filming didn't commence on Captain Marvel until the start of 2018. No doubt this would've been an unusual scenario for Larson, who though familiar with the Captain Marvel script, would have to carry her experiences from the events of that film into Endgame, without even having interacted with the prequel's co-stars.
It's an odd situation, but one that'll be fascinating to see play out firsthand. Remember, these are two very different versions of the character that Larson has portrayed - one only at the cusp of understanding her potential in 1995, and the other having spent years in space getting to know her powers - so having to switch back and forth between them in such a short space of time couldn't have been easy.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
