Kevin Feige explains why Nick Fury did not call Captain Marvel before Avengers Infinity War

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explains while speaking to Slashfilm, “Well, I’d say two things. One, she does say it’s gotta be a real emergency, right? Yeah. The other thing I’d say is how do you know he never hit it? How do we know he never pushed it before? We’ve never seen him push it before. That doesn’t mean he never did.”

Maybe Carol Danvers’ services are required only when the entire universe is in danger, as it certainly is after Thanos’ Decimation in which the Mad Titan acquired all the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet, and blew half the universe to oblivion (or not).

A more likely explanation is Marvel had not decided to put Carol Danvers into the MCU, since Carol took up the mantle of Captain Marvel in comics only after The Avengers hit theatres in 2012.

Captain Marvel will also be seen in the conclusion of the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Endgame, which releases on April 26.
