Warning:
MAJOR SPOILERS for
Captain Marvel follow from this point on.
Captain Marvel concludes with Carol Danvers jetting off into outer space with the Skrulls in order to help them find a new home, but unless a sequel addresses what she was up to for all that time, the twenty-three years between that movie and
Avengers: Endgame look set to remain a mystery to us.
Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that we won't be getting a flashback in the superhero ensemble, and it sounds like we'll just have to assume she was busy helping the Skrulls and battling the Kree for over two decades.
"There’s no full flashback to the last 23 years [in Avengers: Endgame]," Feige reveals. "I don’t want to say anything about Endgame, but I will say, as established in this movie, she very much takes responsibility for places that are not Earth – in large part because Earth has Fury and the Avengers."
"Once people see the movie, the answer is a part of it," he continues. "She’s been dealing with this unjust war, as it’s referred to at one point in the movie, between the Kree and the Skrulls – she’s vowed to help them find a home, she’s vowed to come after the Supreme Intelligence. So how long that took and how hard that was, it could certainly be one answer to that question."
Earth's Mightiest Heroes are bound to have some questions about where Captain Marvel has been, so here's hoping we get some sort of explanation. What do you guys think?

Captain Marvel Vs. The Kree
Captain Marvel ends on something of a cliffhanger as Carol Danvers blasts into space shortly after sending Yon-Rogg back to the Supreme Intelligence with a warning that she's coming to put an end to it once and for all.
There are a lot of open plot threads here, including what happens when Carol finally comes face to face with the being that spent years controlling her and robbing the hero of her past (we also never get to see its true form, and that feels like something which now needs to be addressed sooner rather than later).
Plus, it definitely feels like there's more story to tell between Carol and Yon-Rogg, so we're guessing a sequel will take place shortly after the events of this movie to fill in those gaps.
