# Did Samuel L. Jackson just leak one of Captain Marvel’s powers?

![](<https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/legacy/assets.rbl.ms/19187094/origin.jpg>)

Do you really want to know what happens in either [*Captain Marvel* ](<https://www.fatherly.com/play/movies/captain-marvel-trailer-old-lady-punch-skrull/>)or *Avengers: Endgame* even though we're just a few weeks away from one movie and about a month away from the other one? Well, if you want to stay pure on any of these Marvel movies, then you should probably get off the internet! In the meantime, for the curious, it looks like Samuel L. Jackson has just revealed a detail about *Captain Marvel* which could spoil everything about [*Avengers: Endgame*](<https://www.fatherly.com/news/avengers-endgame-trailer-is-hiding-something-heres-what-it-really-means/>).

In early February 2019 [Several news outlets](<https://bgr.com/2019/02/10/avengers-endgame-spoilers-captain-marvel-pager-time-travel/>) reported on an interview Jackson gave to *Total Film* back in January 2019. The relevant detail? Jackson confirms what many fans have long-suspected: Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) can travel through time.

"I guess we might figure out that she can do things that nobody else can do," Jackson said in the *Total Film* interview. "She can time travel, so maybe she can get ahead or behind or whatever, and figure out what all that is. The fact I have the pager 20 years later – it gets addressed in an interesting sort of way."

The "pager" is a reference to the post-credits scene of *Avengers: Infinity War* in which Nick Fury (Jackson) uses a '90s style pager to send a signal to someone who seems to be Captain Marvel. Is he sending this signal to the past? Does this mean Captain Marvel will time travel to 2019 at the end of *Captain Marvel*? The answer seems to be yes, which again, confirms a fan theory a lot of people have had since 2018.

But, more relevantly, this information makes *Captain Marvel* essential viewing for anyone planning on seeing *Endgame*. Because if Marvel[ did edit out a character from the *Endgame* trailers](<https://www.fatherly.com/news/avengers-endgame-trailer-is-hiding-something-heres-what-it-really-means/>) and that character is Carol Danvers, then her origin story will become a huge deal.
