Why didn't Nick Fury use unique pager before 'Avengers: Infinity War'? Kevin Feige answersMar 9 (AZINS) The beacon of hope in Avengers: Infinity War -- Nick Fury's pager -- was one of the crucial plot devices in Captain Marvel. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently revealed why Fury took so many years and disasters to finally take it out and call for Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel.

Spoiler Alert!

From here on we will be delving into spoilers for the latest Captain Marvel movie starring Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson. For those who wish to avoid these minefields, we advise you to stop reading now.

Still with us? Here we go then.

Set in the 90s, Captain Marvel incorporates the 'technological advancements' of that era with the marvel of the tech developed by Pegasus or by Kree and Skrull species. The movie also connects to Infinity War by revealing how the modified pager came into Fury's possession.

We saw the former Director of SHIELD send the SOS across galaxies after Thanos snapped his fingers to wipe out half of the universe as Marvel Cinematic Universe fans knew it. Though one admits half a universe turned to dust is an extreme situation, the past ten years and 20 movies of MCU have thrown unusually tough circumstances and situation that required intervention. Before Thanos destroyed Xandar, Hela's antics unleashed Ragnarok at Asgard and an entire planet was wiped out. Same was the case when Star-Lord/Peter Quill took out his Celestial father Ego. Earth was attacked by Loki and Chittauri army, then Ultron wreaked havoc, but Fury didn't bother sending the message.

What happened?

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige told SlashFilm, "Well, I’d say two things. One, she does say it’s gotta be a real emergency, right? The other thing I’d say is how do you know he never hit it? How do we know he never pushed it before? We’ve never seen him push it before. That doesn’t mean he never did."

The answer makes sure to file the case of Captain Marvel under the label where-were-these-superheroes-when-world-needed-them. A great fantasy land where movie ideas are generated for the sequels of prequels.
