Although Captain Marvel was a huge hit for Marvel, earning over $1.1B at the box office, they decided to do something different than a traditional sequel. So what we have is The Marvels, a film that explores the connection of all of the various Marvels in the MCU; Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau aka Photon, and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel. That connection extends to their powers, causing them to swap places with one another each time their abilities are used.
It’s a premise that invites as much humor as cosmic action, as seen in the latest trailer. Almost any other year, this footage would’ve been unveiled in the big Hall H room at San Diego Comic-Con, but Marvel Studios has backed out of the Con just as most other studios have. So the trailer debuts online like any other.
Along with the new trailer is a poster featuring all of the Marvel women, as well as Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury following his war in Secret Invasion, as well as the Flerken alien “cat” Goose with an apparent posse of felines.
Directed by Nia DaCosta, The Marvels opens November 10th.
