But beyond that, as Kevin Feige mentioned to The Toronto Sun, similar to how Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a political thriller and Ant-Man was a heist movie, Captain Marvel is Marvel’s chance to echo a ’90s action movie.
But for the MCU, Brie Larson’s Carol is embarking on her superhero journey sometime in the 1990s.
My fingers are crossed that there are Easter eggs/subtle references to Terminator 2 and Point Break.
We’ve previously flashed back to this decade in Iron Man 3, Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther, but Captain Marvel (with the possible exception of the mid and/or post-credits scenes) is keeping it all ’90s, a time when Nick Fury thought his best days were behind him and superheroes weren’t a “normal” thing.
