'The as-yet-to-be-released Avenger: Endgame was released a few years ago now!
<original review below>
The first female- led Marvel movie, released between the events of Infinity War and the as-yet-to-be-released Avengers:Endgame, this introduces us to the character that Nick Fury was paging just before he dusted at the very end (after credits) of Infinity War.
ThIs is set during the 90s, and has Brie Larson's Carol Danvers rediscovering her identity (I'll admit, I was a bit confused what was going on during the start of it) alongside Samuel L Jacksons Nick Fury, who is given more to do here than in any other Marvel movie to date (including Winter Soldier).

Anyway, for those not in the know: these are set in the near future, after a comet has hit Earth with the resultant explosion throwing up debris into the sky and blocking out the sun - perfect for the 'creatures of the night' (aka vampires) to come out of their long hiding.
I most definitely would NOT advise anyone to pick up the series here - this is definitely an entry where you need to have read (well, listened to) the proceeding entries in order in order to understand just what is going on!
