Captain Marvel hitting $1 billion means that three of the last four Marvel movies have made at least that much money — Cap, Avengers: Infinity War, and Black Panther.
Despite its extremely strong showing so far, Captain Marvel is about to face some stiff box-office competition, including from another Captain Marvel movie.
And then three weeks after that Avengers: Endgame opens, likely to shatter all previous Marvel box-office records.
The original character with that name has his own film, called Shazam, opening in theaters this Friday.
