Indiana Jones fans will have to wait a little longer to see their favorite adventurer in action.

And that's a wrap! Brie Larson took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal that filming on Captain Marvel has come to an end.
Larson shared the news with snapshot of the film's clapperboard.

The movie has broken a bunch of records at the box office already, but now it's poised to claim what might be its biggest achievement. This weekend, Incredibles 2 will make box office history by becoming the first animated movie to make $500 million domestically.
As the dust from Avengers: Infinity War settles -- or more fittingly, drifts away in the wind with the snap of the fingers -- you'll likely be in search of a respite from the harrowing tragedy that befell Earth's mightiest heroes.
