The Marvels touch down in theaters in November, and Marvel Studios is making sure fans know that the Captain Marvel sequel is ready to take them higher, faster, and further than the original. Today’s The Marvels trailer includes new footage from the upcoming superhero spectacle and the origins of the film’s super-powered heroines (Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan).
The Marvels trailer begins with Carol (Brie Larson) and her Flerken cat Goose flying through space before recapping events from 2019’s Captain Marvel. After flashing through pivotal scenes from the billion-dollar-earning blockbuster, the focus switches to Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and how she got her powers in the Disney+ series WandaVision. The trailer follows Monica’s recap with scenes from Ms. Marvel, featuring the scene-stealing Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani). With all three heroes reintroduced, the footage concludes with exciting new scenes from the upcoming film.
The Marvels director Nia DaCosta teased to Empire that family plays a vital role in the movie. “Carol’s the oldest, the prodigal, then there’s the middle sister Monica, who Carol knew as a kid and promised she’d come back [to] but then never did,” DaCosta said. “All the switching stuff is great, but the thing I actually care about is how these two reconcile.” The director continued, “Kamala is the youngest, who hasn’t had the experience of living with this older sister but idolises her. Carol’s a bit jaded at the beginning of the film [but] Kamala reminds her how amazing she is.”
“In Marvel Studios’ The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence,” reads the official synopsis. “But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as The Marvels.”
Dag, yo! The Marvels trailer makes me want to rewatch Captain Marvel before the new film blasts off in cinemas.
In addition to Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, The Marvels also stars Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, Zawe Ashton as Dar-Benn, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The Marvels will hit theaters on November 10th.
