'Avengers, Endgame': Marvel Cinematic Universe needs Captain Marvel, but will she assume the mantle successfully?

Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers is set to take the world by storm March 8, but will she make the fans of the current phase of Avengers happy with her role?

Captain Marvel is the superhero that the Marvel universe needs in more ways than one. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel will make history by portraying the first female Marvel superhero to have a standalone film. She will assume the mantle from the Avengers and will lead the next phase of Marvel superhero movies.

If that's not exciting enough, she will also be the key to reversing Thanos' finger snap that had half the world's population dissolve into thin air. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo, of course, made sure there is not one scene of Captain Marvel in the trailer that had released on December 7, but if the post credit scene of 'Avengers: Infinity War' is anything to go by, we can expect some major action in the finale, 'Avengers: End Game.'
