Ever since the Russos came out and said that Captain Marvel is on a completely different power level to anything we've seen in the MCU, fans have been eager to see how her introduction factors into Avengers 4.
With the character's 2019 film working as a prequel of sorts to the next Avengers, releasing but a month and a half before it, it's obvious the two are interlinked. And while that's still a long time to wait before seeing just how powerful Brie Larson's hero truly is, fans are expecting a fight of major proportions should she tassel with Thanos.
It's a match-up that's frequented the comics before (hint: it didn't end particularly well for the Mad Titan), and though there'll be other Avengers lining up to take a shot at the universe's most unsympathetic tyrant (he's a genocidal war criminal, don't forget), fans are particularly keen to see Carol Danvers push her way to the front of the queue.
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.
