Captain Marvel: A Redditor proposes Star-Lord made a blink-and-miss appearance in Brie Larson's Marvel film

Fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe have come up with a new theory about its latest release,  Captain Marvel , that is tough to overlook. The fan theory suggests an important character from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise made a blink-and-miss cameo in the film that almost went unnoticed. As the plot of Captain Marvel is set in the past, it allows a possibility of different set of ties, potentially one to Guardians of the Galaxy and Star-Lord. In the film, Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers, a half-human, half-Kree woman that lands on a distant planet with her entire history, except the past six years, missing. As her memories surface, she recalls a moment where Carol and Monica Rambeau watch a shooting star together. The scene is filmed to suggest the bond between the two best friends but fans claim there could be more it than just that.

On being asked in an interview about how close the fans came to spotting the Easter egg, Captain Marvel visual effects supervisor Chris Townsend neither denied nor confirmed the rumours. “I’ve never heard that about Peter Quill, but I love it. I love the fan side of what we do. I love the reactions. I love how much thought (goes into everything). Obviously, there’s a huge amount of thought that goes into it from everyone on our end making the films, but there’s an amazing sort of reading into things, like the shooting star. To be honest, this is my fifth Marvel movie. When I went to see Infinity War, there were so many things in there, little pieces were tied up, which I thought were amazing in ways I’ve never perceived," he told Huffington Post. Captain Marvel is now running in theaters while other upcoming Marvel Studios films set for release this year include  _Avengers: Endgame_  on 26 April and  _Spider-Man: Far From Home_  on 5 July.
