After the Avengers assembled for the first time to battle Loki in 2012, they were brought back together for the sequel three years later, and were a drastically different team by the time they had saved Sokovia from Ultron. Led by Cap and Black Widow, the Avengers consisted of Scarlet Witch, Vision, Falcon, and War Machine.

The final scene of the movie introduced fans to the new roster of Avengers, and thanks to the release of a previously unseen deleted scene as part of the Infinity Saga boxset, fans now know that this was once going to include Captain Marvel.

Three years before Carol was teased at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, and four before she actually appeared in the MCU herself, Joss Whedon had the idea to introduce the powerful cosmic character, but thankfully the idea was ultimately shot down by Kevin Feige.

An introduction like this, coming completely out of nowhere, wouldn't have made much sense at the end of Age of Ultron. Instead, Carol was properly introduced with her own solo movie.
