It's a pretty big feat for a Hollywood movie to open to such high box office collections in India, and so soon. Captain Marvel also put countless fan theories to rest confirming that she will indeed be coming back as one of the Avengers in the fourth and last instalment of the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Endgame.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel also features Gemma Chan, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, Annette Bening and Djimon Hounsou.
