Howard Stark recovered the tessaract right after the events of the first Captain America. He then went on to help form Shield, and Mar-Vell was working in the Pegasus program, which Shield ran. No idea about the lightspeed engine stuff, we've seen ships jumping around the galaxy with ease so far so I don't see how travelling at light speed helps anything
I googled this and actually found a really good explanation:
Spoiler!
Right now, even the most advanced ships in the MCU can only travel rapidly through space using the Universal Neural Teleportation Network. The Network is an artificial system of fissures in the space continuum, called Jump Points, that enables ships to fast travel across the universe, jumping between different planets. This system requires a ship to plan a specific sequence of multiple jumps to get from point A to point B.
In Guardians of the Galaxy 1&2 and Captain Marvel, you see jump points that look like a honeycomb pattern with gates that open allowing ships to fast travel through these fissures which could be assumed to be a type of wormhole.
There's a point in Captain Marvel where Yon-Rogg and the rest of the Kree have a 22 hour travel period at what I assume must be sublight speed just to reach the nearest jump gate to Earth.
In Guardians, they set a destination with so many connected jump gates that you get this crazy scene: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Scene) - 700 Jumps (Face Distortion) HD
This means that a lightspeed engine would be a HUGE deal because it would allow ships to travel faster than light outside of the network of jump gates. Instead of having to plan your travel route within what is essentially a mapped highway system of jump points, you could literally take the straightest path from point A to point B in one trip. Not only would this streamline travel, it would make it impossible for another ship not equipped with a lightspeed engine to track or follow your ship.

They probably should've explained this in the movie though, because I was wondering it as well.
Spoiler!
I guess that makes sense as to why the Kree want it (lightspeed weapons sound pretty powerful) and it's useful to the Skrulls who want to take off and never be found, but as a regular form of travel it's terrible thanks to the Theory of Relativity. Would have been nice for the movie to make a few comments on why a lightspeed engine is so important when the existing travel network is far superior for just getting from point A to point B

Me and my 9 year old watched the first Iron man yesterday (she wasn’t even born when it came out) we have decided to watch the important movies again to build up to end game.
Iron man
Captain America 1
Avengers 1
Winter soldier
Gotg 1
Age of Ultron
Civil war
Dr strange
Ragnorok
Infinity war.

Good list! If time permitting I would add in Ant-Man because it looks like he will play an important role in End Game and maybe Black Panther as well. And of course Captain Marvel in theatres.
The Following User Says Thank You to Nadal Fan For This Useful Post:
There's no way Nolan goes anywhere near DC again. He was the pinnacle of their success and it will never live up to that again.
Plus it was pretty obvious from the Batman trilogy he hate anything meta powered, and that's all GL is.
I'd personally like to see Abrams take a run at it, but it's obviously below him as well.

Looks pretty good, not a bad idea to sneak in Black Panther either. First because it is a great movie, second it gives a lot of background for the final scenes in Infinity War and third I still believe their tech/Wakanda has a big part to play in Endgame.
I almost think you could skip Ultron? I guess it gives you Origins for Scarlet Witch.. but I found it to be the weakest of the ensemble movies.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I am trying to make it fun and light for my 9 year old as well. She wasn't a huge black panther fan. Ultron has the mind stone and Visions origin as well, plus it sets up civil war. Which was my reasoning. But it may be a skipped one.
Nolan I think is a wild card. He can pick and choose what he wants.
But I think there may now be more of an appetite for a higher profile director to take on GL. In the post Snyder era, I think DC has taken a new direction. Has DC leadership changed?
With the success of WW, Aquaman and likely Shazam. There may be more of an understanding of what type of movie there is to be made. With rumored WB intervention on JL etc I doubt any high profile director would want to touch anything in the DCEU.
Now with Jenkins, Wan and Gunn stepping in, perhaps there is less interference.
I think there is a really good GL movie to be made, but imo, based on Nolan's body of work, I would be surprised if he took it on.
Ultron is the weakest for sure, but that’s partially because it’s a set up for everything after. Infinity Stones, Vision/Scarlett Witch, Civil War tensions (woodchopping scene is one of the best in the series despite being crammed into the worst movie). I think it’s important to watch if you want the full experience.

I liked black panther but wouldn't say that movie added much to Infinity war, and think it will add less to end game based on the previews. Wakanada as a setting for infinity war was window dressing at best.
This is either going to be one of the greatest CBM of all time or end up like Venom (good not great). One thing is for certain this is my most anticipated CBM of 2019!
He will likely do a really good job as the Joker...but part of the fun of the Joker is that he doesn't have an "origin" story. He's just a crazy person for the sake of being crazy.
Although I guess if it's just a live action version of "The Killing Joke" then that's probably fine.

I sure wished Heath Ledger told us how he got those scars on his face before he died.
Oh and Alan Moore never liked his story for the Killing Joke. haha

I'm also torn.
DC has proven themselves to be ham-fisted at best so far, so in my opinion they're taking a huge, huge risk here.
Make no mistake, they are mortgaging this film on some of the equity built up by Ledger's Joker, they're then going to have to take that and run with it.
Now, Phoenix is probably a good call, possibly even the best call to try and do this, but if it doesnt go well its going to tarnish both.
This seems like a fairly desperate 'Hail Mary' to me.

I think the best part of Ledger's Joker is the fan theories of his origins, I always hated the idea of a failed comedian gone insane. The Heath Joker had a sinister intelligence and inquisitive nature to him. He was pushing and prodding and always looking for some reaction or result.
One of the best theories that I ever read was that the Joker was a traumatized Gulf War Military intelligence officer. I loved that theory because it made sense, and the way he pushed buttons in the movie really drove me in that direction.
I also liked the theory that he was a psychiatrist or sociologist who had suffered a profound loss due to some inaction by either Batman or by Gotham as a whole and was seeking revenge and disguising it as a Master's Degree term paper research project.
But not having a explanation of how he got his scars, or how he became the joker was awesome and that blank space makes him seem like a hyper intelligent monster that just came into being and represented the malignancy of the world.
It was too bad that he died because I expect that at some point he would have been back in arkham acting as a threat and a foil for Batman.
The Suicide Squad joker turned out to be terrible, two dimensional and really not that interesting. Sadly I think that the scenes that they deleted from the movie involving his more brutal relationship with Harley really hurt the character. But he just wasn't that interesting no matter how many goofy tattoo's he was wearing.
I wish the Killing Joke movie would have been better. But the danger of giving a character like the Joker an origin story is you remove the intrigue and guessing.

And here I thought he had a Joker origin years ago, when he fell in a vat of chemicals...I liked that one. Can't they tell new stories with new characters? They sure hit the Joker well hard.
