Avengers: Endgame - 15 Essential NEW Rumours & Theories

7. Captain Marvel Time Travels

The Rumour

Not only will the Quantum Realm probably play a major part in the Endgame plot, but it seems that Captain Marvel's impressive power-set also allows her to time travel herself. That might end up being key to the Avengers being able to manipulate the time vortexes in the Quantum Realm...

And how do we know? Well, because Samuel L Jackson says so. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed as much:

“She’s pretty much the strongest character — in terms of someone with powers are able to do things — in the Marvel universe. So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it’s gonna be a dynamite thing. I mean, [the Avengers] are up against some really, really tough odds right now — we saw throughout Infinity War — so now we know that we need something that’s as powerful as Thanos. And at some point, we’ll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she’s capable of. She’s one of the few people in the Marvel universe that can time travel, so…”

Response

Now, Jackson has "leaked" things as part of a wider misdirection campaign, but this feels slightly different and it would be an almighty coincidence for him to pull time travel out of nowhere when there's so much speculation on that front.

And her powers being key to the heroes time travelling (in combination with the Quantum Realm) would answer a bit of a logical gap at the minute. We know the QR has time vortexes, but controlling them precisely is another matter; having some form of outside influence probably is necessary.
