Elsewhere, Marvel boss Kevin Feige recently weighed in on furry friend Goose's future – admitting that he loves the idea of her getting her own short on new streaming service Disney+.

"That's one of the fun things about Disney+ is we could actually do ideas like that," he said.

"The fun thing about introducing new characters and all these movies is suddenly going from a character that maybe you'd heard of if you'd read the books, but if you hadn't, you'd never heard of him.

"And then you see the movie, you go, 'I want to see more of that character'. And the fact that you and other people are asking, 'When do we see more of the cat?' The question is 'how long – what is the lifespan of a flerken?' It's a good question."

Captain Marvel is out now.
