What did you think of this film?

Based on the powerful and thought-provoking true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the main testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings, as well as overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.

We see Fury’s pager on some platform with the Captain Marvel symbol flashing. Then we cut to Captain America with a beard watching “missing” reports (as a result of the decimation) with Black Widow, he says what’s happened is like a nightmare, to which Black Widow says that she’s had better nightmares. James Rhodes comes in says that the thing (pager) has stopped flashing. They all gather around the pager, Rhodey says that it just stopped, Captain America says to reboot it and try again, Rhodey replies that they didn’t know what it did in the first place. Black Widow says that Fury knew what it did and they should just try again. The camera pans and we see Captain Marvel behind her asking: “Where’s Fury”.
