10. Is Goose An Alien?

Continuing the storied history of cats stealing the end of Marvel movie trailers (ok, one time, but it was iconic), Carol Danvers' Goose turns up and makes friends with Nick Fury in the stinger here.

It's a great scene, but all might not be as it seems. In the comics, Carol's cat - named Chewie on the page - isn't actually a cat, but an alien species called a Flerken. Flerkens can shoot tentacles out of their mouths, and can hide mini pocket universes inside their bodies. It's nothing compared to what a real cat will do to you if you piss it off, but impressive nonetheless.

From this trailer it's unclear whether or not that has made the leap from page to screen. It's a bit of an out-there element - although less so in a universe with talking trees and racoons - but also an important one, and it'll be interesting to see if we get Goose unleashing those tentacles during the movie.
