Captain Marvel: 20 Easter Eggs And References Explained

6. The Happy Days Lunchbox

In the final confrontation between Captain Marvel and Starforce, Danvers et al. board Lawson's cloaked vessel and retrieve the Tesseract. They hide it by putting it in a Happy Days lunchbox bearing the likeness of the Fonz, played by Henry Winkler, only for Goose to absorb the cube and for Carol to use the box as a distraction.

As far as connections to the nineties go, Happy Days doesn't have many. It entered syndication in the late eighties, but other than that, Fonzie's presence in Captain Marvel is an odd (if not welcome) one.
