For those concerned about Captain Marvel potentially stealing the limelight and thunder from the older characters in ENDGAME, Kevin Feige had this to say to Empire...
"People would point out that that Cap wasn’t in Infinity War a whole lot. And Iron Man didn’t really speak for that last half hour because of what was going on. But those characters, and all of the original six, are very much the focus of Endgame in a very personal and emotional way."
Last sentence bolded for emphasis.
Carol Danvers, Scott Lang, Rocket, and Nebula will be important support pieces, but it's all about the original team, thematically and emotionally.
That's good to hear because that trailer was beyond badass. All the originals, even the non-supers with Hawkeye and Black Widow have me hyped up. I mean yes, BW with a gun isn't going to do anything vs Thanos, but Johansen in that scene just looked like a complete badass. The huge buildup throughout the trailer of the original 6 had me so pumped until at the end, seeing Cpt. Marvel just had me groan. I still haven't seen Cpt. Marvel because of Larsen (It is near impossible for me to view her as a badass- much like Evan Rachel Wood on Westworld; whereas Thandi Newton sells it with ease).
So I hope Feige is correct here. If Cpt Marvel can just do whatever she needs to do to reverse the snap then go offscreen for the remainder and let the original 6 just get to it, that would be my preference.
