I mean, chances are you’ve already seen this totally-worthy addition to the Marvel Universe more than once, so maybe you did pick up on these 17 tidbits. But you’d better scroll through, just to be sure!
#17. This movie reference makes me smile.
Talos drinks a soda after breaking into Maria’s house – a nod to Samuel L. Jackson’s scene in Pulp Fiction.
#16. Fun with 90s pop culture.

Carol is playing the video arcade game Street Fighter II in the scene in Pancho’s bar.
#15. Fury losing his eye is actually sort of funny?
In Captain America: Winter Soldier, Fury says the last person he trusted caused him to lose an eye.
#14. Maria’s callsign.
She was known as “Photon” in the Air Force. In the comic books, she uses the same name to fight crime.
#13. Gender swap.
In the comic books, Mar-Vell from Kree – Dr.Wendy Lawson in Captain Marvel – was originally male and the first person to use the Captain Marvel identity.
#12. Stan Lee’s cameo is interesting because…
He’s reading the script of Mallrats, which means his movies exist in the Marvel Universe. Pretty cool!
#11. It’s not easy being Kreen.
When Monica is changing Carol’s suit’s colors, they briefly pause on green and white, the original Kree colors in the comic books.
#10. Diagonally-cut toast.
In Captain Marvel, Nick Fury says he hates his toast cut on a diagonal, but he’s eating it that way in Age of Ultron. Could he be a Skrull?
#9. Fury’s clearance level has increased appropriately.
In the present day, he’s increased from Level 3 to Level 10.
#8. It’s all connected.
Torfa, the planet where the Skrulls took refuge, has a toxic atmosphere caused by Vibranium. One fan wondered whether the meteor that struck Wakanda arrived from Torfa.
#7. There’s another cameo you might have missed.
Kelly Sue DeConnick, who is responsible for turning Ms. Marvel into Captain Marvel, bumps into Carol during her high-speed Skrull chase.
#6. They’re all unique.
Each member of Starforce has a different star design on their Kree uniform.
#5. Easter Egg!
Tony Stark asks Jarvis for info on Dr. Wendy Lawson’s Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. in Iron Man 2.
#4. A fun theory.
Could the shooting star that Carol and Monica see be Peter Quill shooting off into space?
#3. Blockbuster is a gold mine of nuggets.
First, Carol crashes into a cardboard cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis from True Lies.
#2. The VHS tape she picks up is intentional, too.
It’s of The Right Stuff, which is about Navy, Marine, and Air Force test pilots.
#1. And you can see the poster for this 90s gem in the background.
Hook. An underrated classic.
Okay, now you’re 100% ready for Avengers: Endgame.
Getting PSYCHED!
