6. Carol Danvers Is Never Referred To As 'Captain Marvel' In The Film
Marvel Studios
Carol Danvers has gone by the name of Captain Marvel for the last decade, and even though Brie Larson plays the title character, she's never actually referred to as 'Captain Marvel' during the course of the film. The closest it actually comes to giving her a name is when Fury is singing The Marvelettes during the ending, but no one ever addresses her by her superhero title at any point.
It's a little weird, admittedly, but it turns out it might be intentional. In the comics, it's actually Captain America who encourages Danvers to take on the title of Captain Marvel, and though the context of that comic is far removed from what's actually occurring on the big screen, it would seem as though Steve Rogers and Carol will have a lot in common come Endgame.
Chris Evans is due to bow out of the MCU after the release of the next Avengers, while Larson is set to become the franchise's leading force. It's a tale of two captains, and though fans are yet to see how they interact onscreen, expect the name to come into play at some point.
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.
