Unveiling Captain Marvel's Mysterious Disappearance Post-Endgame: Brie Larson Spills the Secrets

The Marvels will soon hit theaters, marking Brie Larson's return as Captain Marvel on the big screen. Ever since her crucial role in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, she has made appearances in post-credits scenes for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Ms. Marvel. Fans have been curious about her absence, and Larson has addressed their questions by offering an explanation.

Finally, after a lengthy wait, Larson's Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan, and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau will unite in Marvel Studios' The Marvels. However, Danvers has been noticeably absent since the defeat of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. She only briefly appeared in Khan's room when the two heroes accidentally switched places in the post-credit scene of Ms. Marvel. So, where has she been all this time? According to Larson, the hero has been incredibly dedicated to her work and has been occupied.

Avengers: Endgame showcased Danvers as one of the strongest captains in the MCU, specifically highlighting her role in aiding the battle against the formidable Thanos. Subsequently, she ventures into the vast universe to vanquish villains, leaving Earth behind. Larson explained in an interview with Entertainment Weekly how her character, Carol, became consumed with work and distanced herself from her emotions, loved ones, and companions. Larson maintains that this journey exemplifies her character's immense power to combat evil across the galaxy, potentially explaining her absence in dealing with threats on Earth.

As Danvers strives to save the universe, she inadvertently loses touch with Nick Fury, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, who appears in Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion. Fans speculate whether the show will bring Danvers back for its finale or include a post-credits scene to set up The Marvels. This would be a fitting connection, considering Fury informed Danvers of the impending battle against Thanos. In addition, fans eagerly anticipate the resolution of the relationship between Danvers and Rambeau. Introduced as the daughter of Maria, Danvers' close friend, in Captain Marvel, the two characters seem to have drifted apart over time. Witnessing the dynamics between them after this extended separation would undoubtedly be intriguing.

In 2019, Captain Marvel made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, marking the first-ever female-led film in the franchise. The character, played by Brie Larson, shattered the glass ceiling as the first female superhero to have her own standalone MCU movie, which grossed an impressive $1 billion worldwide. Despite some criticism from fans regarding Larson's casting, the character's journey has been remarkable. Although Captain Marvel has been absent from the ten films released post Avengers: Endgame, that is about to change. "The Marvels" is set to hit theaters on November 10, 2023.
