If you were wondering why Marvel didn’t take advantage of the Super Bowl to hype the summer release of The Marvels, the sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel…well, the reason has now been revealed. The film’s first poster has arrived, and while it’s really pretty to look at, featuring all three women who will star, the key thing to notice is the new release date: November 10th 2023.
That’s a whole three months later than the original July 28th release date, which has now been occupied by Haunted Mansion. A bit disappointing, but if it leads to a better movie, then the wait will be worth it.
Let’s be honest; with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earning Marvel’s second “Rotten” on Rotten Tomatoes, they’re going to be extra cautious with everything they put out.
So back to the poster; it features Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. That’s a lot of Marvels showing off their powers and the costumes they’ll be sporting. I’m excited just to see Monica getting such a huge role in the MCU, of course following on her part in WandaVision. Kamala is spinning out of her own self-titled Disney+ series, while Danvers hasn’t had a huge role to play post-Endgame. It’ll be interesting to see what she’s been up to.
