Captain Marvel is noted as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, and it seems her overwhelming superpowers were a bit of a "concern" for Avengers: Endgame.
Carol Danvers is set to debut in her own standalone movie, after which she will come to the aid of the remaining Avengers in Endgame.
However, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have addressed fears that her formidable powers will make things a bit too easy for the Avengers.
"It's always a concern of ours about overpowering characters, because the reason that people relate to these characters is their humanity, and that they're flawed," Joe told CinemaBlend.
"And the reason we love working so much with Captain America was that he was limited, and his heart was his superpower, you know?
"So we're all acutely aware of the dangers of having an overly powerful character. [But] we like sensitive storytelling, so... we found a thoughtful way through it."
Anthony continued: "That's what kind of fires us up, I think, on a storytelling level. Because when you do have powerful characters, you have to work that much harder to find their vulnerabilities and complexities.
"And Joe was mentioning on a storytelling level... and keep the stakes high! Because that's where those characters are vulnerable. And actually, that makes for great drama, and you run in that direction.
"As storytellers, one of the most fun things we've had working with these characters is figuring out ways into them where they are vulnerable and they aren't all powerful."
Avengers: Endgame will be released on April 25 in the UK and on April 26 in the US, while Captain Marvel will be released in cinemas on March 8.
