1. Will Steve Tell Carol To Use The Name?

With all this in mind, it seems almost doubtful that Steve won't play some sort of role in encouraging Danvers to lead the line from now on. This'll no doubt manifest with Captain Marvel's actions throughout Endgame, but as Marvel have reiterated on so many occasions, her name has value too.

Nothing is set in stone yet, and though audiences have responded with emphatic positivity towards Captain Marvel (and why shouldn't they?), there's no underestimating Marvel's task. Two, beloved members of the franchise are set to leave, opening the door to legacy becoming an intrinsic element of the franchise.

However, while it's been married to the House of Ideas' comics for sometime, this is relatively uncharted territory for the movies. They have to get it right, and by having Steve involved in Carol's journey, they can make the transition much more emotional and gratifying to see play out.
