[post_page_title]Ingesting the Tesseract[/post_page_title]
Captain Marvel is set in the ’90s, which places its events before those of other MCU movies. And although those movies came out long before, there are quite a few references and links between them.
In The Avengers, for example, Bruce Banner jokingly asks if Nick Fury wants him to swallow the Tesseract to protect it. This is exactly what the Flerken did in Captain Marvel, which means Banner was aware of the events that took place in the ’90s.
