Theres a lot of pressure on Captain Marvels arrival in the MCU.
Brie Larson will make her debut as the superhero in a standalone movie, which will serve as a prequel to events in Avengers: Infinity War.
As we all know, Thanos snapped his fingers at the end of the last Avengers and eliminated the half the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Well have to wait until Avengers 4 to find out who survives Thanos massacre but Deadpool 2 actor Eddie Marsan agrees with the theory that Captain Marvel will come to the rescue.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk at the Mowgli premiere in London, Eddie, who played the Headmaster in Deadpool 2, said: Apparently, Captain Marvels gonna come back and bring all the Avengers back to save the day so well see about that.
He added of the Avengers 4 trailer which is expected to arrive later today: I quite love these stories and Im a big comic book fan so Im really looking forward to it.

Marvel fans have been toying with the theory that the Captain Marvel prequel, which is set 20 years before the Marvel movies, will lead right up to the epic battle in Infinity War.
Its then possible that Avengers 4, which is released after Captain Marvel, will reveal how Bries character swoops in to bring everyone back to live in perfect harmony.
Well, maybe not the harmony part.
The Infinity War end credits lends to this theory as Captain Marvels symbol is briefly seen after Thanos snap, so we know shes likely lurking around somewhere.
Until then, Eddie is currently starring in Netflixs Mowgli, an adaptation of Disneys Jungle Book which has been directed by Andy Serkis.
Sharing his reaction when he realised the dark tone of the script, Eddie said: I kind of liked it because it afforded that kind of depth because it wasnt trying to sugar coat the story.
If youre not going to sugar coat the story then you better take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Youd better substitute and create some substance.
The British actor was also thrilled to work with his longtime friend Andy, adding: Hes been a friend of mine for 20 years so it was lovely.

Im very proud of him because hes so good at what he does, you trust him because hes the foremost expert in this kind of work and I love being directed by actors because they have a shorthand and know how to communicate things.
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is out on 7 December and also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett and Christian Bale.
