(There are some main spoilers forward for “Captain Marvel”) “Captain Marvel” might not have supplied all that a lot in the way in which of backstory setup for “Avengers: Endgame” — form of disappointing given how shut Marvel positioned the 2 motion pictures to one another on the calendar. But does add an fascinating new chapter to the story of probably the most well-known of the Infinity Stones — the Tesseract — and in case you’re acquainted with the Mar-Vell character from the comics then among the liberties taken with that character right here will little doubt come as a significant shock. And no, I’m not speaking concerning the option to have Mar-Vell be performed by a lady (Annette Bening) as an alternative of a person, although that’s clearly a reasonably cool change. I’m speaking concerning the massive twist, that the Kree are literally the dangerous guys and Carol Danvers’ (Brie Larson) Skrull foes are literally simply refugees. And that Mar-Vell was working with them and towards her Kree masters. Mar-Vell, who might or might not have carried the Captain Marvel mantle earlier than she was killed by Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) in 1989, was on Earth as a result of that’s the place the Tesseract was at the moment — she was making an attempt to develop what numerous characters consult with as a “lightspeed engine” although would, probably amongst different issues, assist the Skrull refugees led by Talos (Ben Mendolsohn) escape from the gaze of the Kree.

The Tesseract, after all, is the casing for the Infinity Stone often called the Space Stone. But there’s an interesting element in “Captain Marvel” that might throw you for a loop: after we first see the Tesseract within the film, it’s secreted away aboard a cloacked spaceship that Mar-Vell had been utilizing as a laboratory. The movie doesn’t explicitly clarify why it was up there fairly than on the human base the place Mar-Vell labored whereas in disguise, however we are able to infer primarily based on different motion pictures within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and clues that “Captain Marvel” itself dropped. It’s been some time, however you could recall how within the first “Captain America” film the Tesseract was discovered by Hydra chief Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), and he used it to create a complete bunch of dastardly new weapons, together with bombs that he was going to drop on each main world capital. But Captain America (Chris Evans) foiled that plan, and the Tesseract was briefly misplaced within the Atlantic Ocean, the place Howard Stark discovered it.

At the start of that movie the Tesseract was within the possession of SHIELD and the United States authorities at a base that housed Project Pegasus, which existed to check the Tesseract and try and harness its power for numerous initiatives. Then Loki stole it and went on his rampage throughout the planet which culminated within the Battle of New York on the finish of the film. An essential element in “Captain Marvel” that might be simple to overlook is that the bottom that Mar-Vell labored at in 1989, and which Carol Danvers and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) infiltrated in 1995, is none apart from that very same Project Pegasus base that we noticed in “Avengers.” So what we are able to infer, then, is that Mar-Vell, in disguise as Wendy Lawson, was capable of merely take the Tesseract as much as her area laboratory as a result of she was answerable for Project Pegasus. It was in all probability a giant deal that the Tesseract went lacking for six years earlier than being returned on the finish of “Captain Marvel,” but it surely’s probably that venture officers merely thought it had been destroyed within the crash that resulted in Mar-Vell’s loss of life.
