Is A Captain Marvel and War Machine Romance In The Cards?


Could a romance between Captain Marvel and War Machine happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Carol and Rhodey are romantically involved in the comics, and their relationship was recently revisited in the ongoing Captain Marvel comic book series.

In Captain Marvel #5, we see Carol and Rhodey reunite after the former went off-world. He is the first person Carol spends time with following her outer space jaunt. Here, the two share a kiss, officially bringing back their romance that ended in Civil War II, where Rhodey died and Captain Marvel put Iron Man in a coma.

Is there a chance that this can happen to the MCU versions of the characters as well? Avengers: Endgame did suggest that it might. Screen Rant is convinced that the conference call scene in the film could have hinted the possibility.

Five years after the snap, the Avengers including War Machine check in with Captain Marvel, Okoye, and others who are off protecting other worlds. When the meeting concluded, the rest immediately said their goodbyes and turned off their hologram feed, but Carol stays for a few seconds to wish Rhodey good luck. When he responds with a mention of information he has on Hawkeye, she looks as if she already knew about it without him having to tell her, which was taken to mean that they may have been having private hologram meetings. Of course, there is no way of knowing if this is actually the case. But if this was indeed what the film was going for, the reignited romance in the comics isn't a coincidence.

It will be interesting to see if MCU Carol and Rhodey will follow the same romantic route. We wouldn't put past Marvel to do it, especially since they love to bring popular comic book moments to life in the films. Avengers: Endgame, for one, featured Captain America's "Hail Hydra" scene from Secret Empire. With Brie Larson and Don Cheadle expected to reprise the roles, there might be a chance.

What do you think of this pairing?
