Kevin Smith Shares Emotional Response to Captain Marvel’s Mallrats Reference
SPOILERS ahead for Captain Marvel.
Kevin Smith is officially part of the MCU thanks to a reference to Mallrats in Captain Marvel.
Kevin Smith took to Instagram and posted a very emotional picture and message that thanked Marvel for the inclusion of the script of Mallrats, which was being read by the one-and-only Stan Lee in one of his famous cameos.
“Just saw @captainmarvelofficial. I am a blubbering mess. After a lifetime spent referencing the movies, the movies just referenced me! Many thanks to @marvelstudios, #ryanfleck, #annabodin, and to my friend @therealstanlee for the cinematic shout-out! But if I’m now part of the @marvel Universe, I have only one question: Did I survive The Snap? #KevinSmith #captainmarvel #marveluniverse #marvel #marvelstudios #gratitude #kevinfeige #ryanfleck #annaboden”

The Skrulls: Can Marvel Still Do a Secret Invasion Movie?
SPOILERS ahead for the Captain Marvel movie!
The shape-shifting alien Skrulls finally made their MCU debut in Captain Marvel, but given that it turns out they’re not really villains like they’ve long been in the comics, does that rule out their most iconic comics storyline, 2008’s Secret Invasion, from ever getting the big screen treatment?
Secret Invasion — which saw the Skrulls covertly replace key members in governments and superhero teams around the globe and then activate those sleeper agents in an attempt to take over the world — is why so many fans have spent nearly two years posting theories on which member of the Avengers has been a Skrull this whole time. But now, given the Skrulls’ redemptive treatment in Captain Marvel, a Secret Invasion film seems unlikely.
