Carol Danves who originally know as Ms.Marvel is now called captain Marvel to give her the namesake of a more important character (The Cap Marvel who died of Cancer during the kree-skrull war) and to boost her importance in the Universe.

Next Year Shazam should be getting a solo book and joining the Justice League when the Post Forever Evil stories and new books come out in April.
Next year captain Marvel is getting relaunched with a whole new #1. (A lot of the smaller Marvel books are doing this and I wish DC would adopt this Pratice)

Before captain Marvel comes back from hiatus in March, Ms.marvel a spin off book starring a teenage girl with superpowers (I think she's inhuman) is launching in February.

Knowing Marvel her book will probably lead into whatever the next incarnation of The Young Avengers will b. The current book is more of tumblr the comic book, and like Nova led in New Warrior's I could see Ms.Marvel and Spider-girl being pushed be leading into a new Young Avengers title.
