Avengers: Endgame - 10 Films That MUST Happen Next

10. Captain Marvel: Alpha Flight

Captain Marvel may not have had as big a role in Endgame as had originally been speculated, but the film still did plenty to set up her future.

Since her debut under the Captain Marvel mantle at the start of the decade, Carol Danvers has been reimagined as Earth's intergalactic ambassador. Endgame touched on that briefly, with Carol patrolling the stars and assisting other alien populations in the wake of the Decimation, but she didn't get up to much at all, getting involved at the start, only to briefly appear at the end to face Thanos alongside the rest of Earth's heroes.

It was a great reintroduction for the Captain, but her inevitable sequel needs to lean into those cosmic elements more than the 2019 prequel did. With that in mind, Marvel Studios would do well to look towards the founding of Alpha Flight.

Not to be confused with the Canadian group of the same name, Captain Marvel's Alpha Flight is Earth's first line of defence against interstellar threats. It's more reactive than proactive, but a sequel focusing on Carol dragging earth into intergalactic diplomacy (and inevitably conflict) would be a great place to head next.
