Why did Nick Fury only call Captain Marvel during the Snap? This decision has sparked countless fan theories and debates within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fury’s pager, which he used in the Captain Marvel post-credit scene, was clearly reserved for emergencies—but why Captain Marvel and not other Avengers? Known for her immense power, Captain Marvel had proven her ability to handle catastrophic events, making her Fury’s ultimate ace. Her unmatched strength, seen in Captain Marvel and her face-off against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, showed why she was Fury’s go-to hero.
But the pager’s history goes deeper. Introduced in Captain Marvel (2019), Fury’s connection with Carol Danvers was built on trust and recognition of her unique abilities. The Snap was no ordinary crisis; it was an extinction-level event caused by Thanos and the Infinity Stones. Fury’s decision to call Captain Marvel during such a critical moment highlights her importance in the Avengers’ fight and the larger MCU storyline.
Dive into the theories, the backstory, and why Nick Fury saved his call to Captain Marvel for the universe’s biggest threat.
