How Captain Marvel Will Change The MCU

3. The Cosmic Universe

The MCU has already started expanding beyond Earth a fair bit, with the Thor trilogy, both Guardians movies, and Infinity War all taking viewers into different space or different realms. Largely, though, Earth has remained the centre of the universe.

Captain Marvel will open up the door to considerably more change in that regard. The movie isn't just going to be set partially in space, but will delve into the politics and war between two different alien races, the Kree and the Skrulls.

Phase 4 is likely going to explore even more of the cosmic side of the MCU, through the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, Nova, the Eternals, and maybe even Annihilus, and Captain Marvel can build a big bridge between Earth and the cosmos.
