The following is a list of the most effective ways to improve your chances. Marvels’ big villain, Dar-Benn, is really smashing through the walls between universes like the trailer says, there could be plenty of room for a visit to a universe where things are quite different — like Doctor Strange’s run-in with Professor X (played by Patrick Stewart) in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

And it’s not as wild to hook Captain Marvel up to the X-Men as you might thing. Carol, though she is associated with the Avengers in the MCU, was a symbol human superhero for many years in the X-Men book, as she was a personal favorite of legendary X-Men author Chris Claremont. And though she’s currently head of the Avengers in Marvel Comics, her influence on the X-Men setting lives on. Have you ever wondered how Rogue can be so strong, and fly, when her mutant powers are just absorbing power with a mere touch? It’s because she once absorbed Carol’s powers so hard that they became permanent.

A beautiful team was formed when the X-Men stepped up to assist Carol in her recovery. It’s only fitting that Captain Marvel would have a close connection to the X-Men, and, if Marvels is heading in a multiverse-y-mutant-y direction, that she’d have that connection in the movies as well.
