'Captain Marvel' Has Marvel Fans Coming Up With Wild Theories for 'Avengers 4'

Today, the world got their first look at Captain Marvel -- and it's already making some fans look ahead.

A newly-released batch of photos showcase the upcoming Marvel Studios solo film, which will see Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becoming a full-fledged superhero in the wake of the Kree-Skrull War. It's safe to say that hype is pretty darn high for the upcoming film, in part thanks to the story's larger role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Put yourself in our positions two years ago," Avengers co-writer Stephen McFeely explained in a recent interview. "We're looking at a blank wall, and it says Avengers 3, Ant-Man and [the] Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers 4. So there are four big shoeboxes, and we're responsible for the bookends. As we're going through deciding what we want to do, we have these two shoeboxes in the middle that you can either look at as burdens or opportunities."

"My hope is the conversation you and I will have a year from now, you'll have a sense of the choices we've made over the course of an entire year of Marvel movies," McFeely continued. "There's a relationship between them all."

So with our first glimpses at Captain Marvel, fans have begun to speculate about how exactly the heroine will factor into Avengers 4. The theories have ranged pretty wildly, from the pretty plausible to the downright hilarious. Here's a round-up of some of those fan theories.
