One of the more surprising aspects of Avengers: Endgame was just how limited Captain Marvel's role in the film turned out to be. She was the subject of Infinity War's sole post-credits tease, and it was thought her solo film would tie more heavily into Thanos' saga. That didn't turn out to be the case, obviously, but Carol Danvers was still in a really interesting position by the time she linked up with the rest of the Avengers in 2018.
When she arrives on the scene she's a great deal more experienced than she was in Captain Marvel, and her responsibility grows even more after the five-year time jump. It's clear that she's seen a lot, and according to the ScoopMaster-General, her next film will reveal what it is she's been through.
"The film will take place between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame. No A-Force film as many wanted. If you watch Endgame you'll notice Carol is more world weary, they're looking to explain why with the sequel."
Making the next Captain Marvel film a prequel - like most of the leaks ScoopMaster revealed - actually makes a lot of sense the more you think about it. Both The Eternals and Black Widow are prequels, Shang-Chi is likely to involve prequel elements, and there are still two decades we're yet to see of what Danvers got up to before the events of Endgame.
