59 free Captain Marvel trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
This Captain Marvel trivia quiz covers the 2019 film that introduced Carol Danvers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and explained where Nick Fury's eye and the Avengers Initiative came from. The plot questions run from Hala and Starforce through the Blockbuster crash-landing in Los Angeles, Project Pegasus, Louisiana, Mar-Vell's cloaked laboratory, the Supreme Intelligence and the cat that swallowed the Tesseract. The harder half covers how it was made: the comic storyline behind the Kree-Skrull war, why the character was cut from Age of Ultron, why Mar-Vell became a woman, the working title, the California tax credit, the four cats who played Goose, the puppet used because Brie Larson is allergic, the 25-year de-aging of Samuel L. Jackson and the films it was modelled on, the first woman to score an MCU film, the Stan Lee tribute logo and the box office milestones. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test even committed MCU fans. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For the wider universe, try our Marvel and MCU quizzes.
