Good to know

Don't watch the post-credits scenes.

When does Captain Marvel take place in the MCU?

The movie mostly takes place in 1995, making it the 2nd movie in chronological order even though it was released in 2019

How is Captain Marvel connected to the MCU?

The movie takes place in the main timeline

Why watch Captain Marvel at this point in the timeline?

Because chronologically it's the second movie: it continues the Tesseract's story and introduces elements that matter later on

What about the post-credits scene(s)?

Do NOT, under any circumstances, watch the first post-credits scene — it's a big spoiler for Avengers: Infinity War. The second is just a useless joke
