Space is unimaginably vast.
Before the credits roll, we see Captain Marvel fly off into limitless space.
In
Avengers: Infinity War, Fury actives CM's pager then gets dusted.
Danvers responds to Fury's pager. Starts flying back to Earth from somewhere in the Milky Way or even another entirely different galaxy altogether. The range on her pager is pretty darn far after all.
Hypothetically, Danvers encounters Stark in route while responding to Fury's emergency page.
Anything is plausible. Case in point:
The Asgardians sent out a distress call that the Guardians of the Galaxy answered and rescued Thor.
The teasers have shown Stark tinkering with this armor. He could have been creating a distress signal of his own design.
Maybe Danvers answered it on her way to find Fury? Not an original idea of course but entirely possible. Maybe...
...Nebula comes to Tony's aid instead? That would fit more to me if Danvers is not involved given what has been shown in the
CM post credit scene and all
A:E trailers thus far in my opinion.
Honestly, I am even more eager now to see the movie than before. So many questions. Good stuff.
