MCU: Captain Marvel's TWO Post-Credits Scenes Explained
What Happens In Captain Marvel's Post-Credits Scene
Once the credits have fully finished rolling, there's another scene for those who stick around, and it features Goose the Not-A-Cat because of course it does. Goose is an absolute scene-stealer, so it makes perfect sense to give the Flerken the final scene, but it's also one that does have an impact on the MCU.
Quite surprisingly, a lot of the movie centres around the Tesseract: Marvel Studios did a great job in hiding that fact, and the Space Stone directly ties into how Carol Danvers gets her powers (which should help when going up against an Infinity Stone-powered Thanos). When Marvel and Fury are able to successfully get their hands on the Tesseract, Goose reveals his powers by showing his true, squid-like form and swallowing it whole.
The cat then goes back to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ with Fury, where he keeps its whereabouts secret. In the post-credits sequence, Goose climbs up on Fury's desk, and vomits out the Tesseract. The Tesseract was taken by Red Skull back in the 1940s, as seen in Captain America: The First Avenger, and is then dropped in the ocean, before being retrieved by Howard Stark. That leaves a major gap in the timeline between Stark having it and it showing up with S.H.I.E.L.D, whre Annette Bening's Dr Lawson would then take it into space six years prior to the events of Captain Marvel, but this helps fill that gap, with Fury's mission with Danvers leading him to retrieving the Tesseract, where it'll stay until the events of the Avengers.
