Samuel L. Jackson Reveals Major Spoiler About Captain Marvel's Powers

The hype surrounding upcoming film Captain Marvel is real, as we’ll see Marvel’s first standalone film for a female superhero, we’ll get to enjoy a fun ‘90s vibe, and we’ll finally find out (hopefully) if the character is truly powerful enough to take down Thanos. As we’ve speculated for months now, Captain Marvel could be the only way to defeat The Mad Titan, and it appears a new spoiler all but confirms that.

This time around, it wasn’t Tom Holland or Mark Ruffalo to leak a major detail of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but rather Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the films. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Jackson, who will appear in Captain Marvel, dished about Brie Larson’s character.

"She’s pretty much the strongest character -- in terms of someone with powers are able to do things -- in the Marvel universe,” Jackson explained. “So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it's gonna be a dynamite thing. I mean, [the Avengers] are up against some really, really tough odds right now -- we saw throughout Infinity War -- so now we know that we need something that's as powerful as Thanos. And at some point, we'll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she's capable of.”

Jackson added, “She's one of the few people in the Marvel universe that can time travel, so..." Um, talk about a casual spoiler drop!

Fans have been sure since Avengers: Infinity War’s release that our heroes who turned to dust at the hands of Thanos would be brought back somehow in Avengers: Endgame, with many believing the Quantum Realm would allow time travel. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has also revealed Captain Marvel is the most powerful superhero ever introduced in the MCU, so it’s not shocking to learn she can time travel… but we would’ve rather found out during the movies!

Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8.
