>The new film finds Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) uniting for the first time under unusual circumstances. Somehow, the three women have become linked, causing them to physically swap places every time they use their powers. It's a classic comic book quandary, forcing the three lone wolves to form a reluctant pack. (Well, Carol and Monica are reluctant. Kamala is downright psyched to be hanging with her super-powered idols.)
>The idea of location swapping harkens back to early Captain Marvel comics from the 1960s, where Mar-Vell (the first Captain Marvel) and human Rick Jones would swap places using Kree bracelets called Nega-Bands. Marvel remains tight-lipped about exactly how Carol, Monica, and Kamala's powers get tangled together, but all three have light-based abilities: Carol can absorb energy and shoot powerful photon blasts; Monica can manipulate all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum; and Kamala can harden light, which she uses to make giant fists or stepping stones in mid-air.

>Since helping to knock out Thanos in 2019's AVENGERS: ENDGAME, Carol has largely left Earth behind, choosing instead to hunt down villains on the far edges of the galaxy. "The way I was able to tap into it and understand it is the concept that Carol kind of became a workaholic, and she lost touch with her heart and with family and friends," Larson says of her character's absence from recent MCU adventures. "That's certainly something I can relate to."
>"I understand that feeling of being afraid to let go of control, of being afraid of passing on responsibility to others," says Larson. "You almost want to take on all of the burden yourself. So, I think this is an incredible metaphor for learning how to be in a team. It's a very clear example that no one person can do it all. You need all kinds of skillsets, all kinds of people with different viewpoints and different backgrounds in order to save the world."
She looks like a man.
>and she lost touch with her heart and with family and friends,"
What friends? She was gone for 20ish years and then spent like a week on Earth during Endgame and then left indefinitely again? It's still weird that people on Earth even know she exists.
I think just the Rambeaus and Fury
Admittedly I typed that before reading the follow up posts in
but it turns out they just prove my point. She's not really friends with Fury or the Rambeaus either since she has like one conversation every two decades and then leaves for space and doesn't talk to them.
Like unironically I think Star Lord has more human connection and "I got kidnapped as a kid and barely remember anything about being an earthling" was his entire characterization.
MCU Carol is Eternals tier detached from everything else. You could write her out entirely and it wouldn't effect anything.
I think it's implied that she spent enough time on Earth during the blip to get popular on Earth.
>I think it's implied that she spent enough time on Earth during the blip to get popular on Earth.
It's explicitly not. When she shows up in Endgame it's via space-skype where she gets a haircut and tells Rocket that she CAN'T be on Earth because "not every planet has an Avengers".
I'll say it again. ROCKET spends more time on Earth during the blip than Carol does. (Which kinda makes it weird that in all that time he never thought to look up what raccoons were in retrospect.)
>ROCKET spends more time on Earth during the blip than Carol does.
No, he doesn't. That is never stated.
>Those family and friends include Jackson's Nick Fury, who forged a close friendship with Carol in 2019's CAPTAIN MARVEL. But that was decades ago, and Fury has lost touch with his original Avenger — until all that interstellar body-swapping starts interfering with his spy work. "He's been calling her, and she's off in galaxies far, far away," Jackson explains. "She's like, 'Fury, why are you calling me? I told you not to use this number.' He's like, 'You gave it to me, so I'm gonna use it. And I'm calling you because I need your help!'"
>One of the other people left behind is Monica, the daughter of Carol's old Air Force buddy Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch). Monica first met "Aunt Carol" as a young child, but she's since grown into a hero in her own right, complete with her own powers. "Carol is such a huge part of Monica's life in CAPTAIN MARVEL," Parris explains. "When we see her in WANDAVISION, you get a sense that she has not talked to Carol in a very long time. So, we have to address the elephant in the room."
>Executive producer Mary Livanos says Marvel was already thinking about the future payoff when including Monica as a smaller child in CAPTAIN MARVEL. "Always in the back of my head was a story based on family reconnection, and how hard that can be to navigate," she says.
>Like Kamala, Vellani is the kind of comic book aficionado who doodles pictures of Galactus on her sneakers or nitpicks about the differences between Earth-616 and Earth-199999. That knowledge served the 20-year-old well when she teamed up with Larson and Parris, as Vellani had no problems correcting franchise veterans about obscure comic lore.
>"I've just learned to trust Iman because she really has her timelines in order," say Larson, shaking her head. "She's the one that's always schooling us. I wouldn't know how old Carol is without her. She really does the math."
>"I just say things with enough conviction," Vellani deadpans, "and they believe me."
>"I just say things with enough conviction," Vellani deadpans, "and they believe me."
she's just like me forreal
HaHA that’s so funny shill, I bet you got lots of likes for saying that on Twitter!
>you can tell this character is fan of THING because they have THING related stuff all over their room! whoa!
I hate this trope
its happens irl
>>Like Kamala, Vellani is the kind of comic book aficionado who doodles pictures of Galactus on her sneakers or nitpicks about the differences between Earth-616 and Earth-199999. That knowledge served the 20-year-old well when she teamed up with Larson and Parris, as Vellani had no problems correcting franchise veterans about obscure comic lore.
>"So here she goes, running around the set, clinking the nig- excuse me, NEGA bands together and shouts 'I'M RICK JONES, b***h!' and I must be old because I don't even know who that is."
>THE MARVELS also introduces a few new faces, with Park Seo-joon joining the MCU in a role that's being kept secret for now (though Livanos reveals he plays an "ally to Carol"). Meanwhile, Zawe Ashton suits up as the villainous Kree revolutionary Dar-Benn, who's fighting to restore her homeland after a long civil war.
>Ashton quickly threw herself into stunt training and comic research, but she also turned to another iconic Marvel villain for advice: her fiancé Tom Hiddleston, who's played trickster god Loki since 2011.
>"It led to some incredible conversations about his experience being part of this franchise for over a decade," Ashton says, noting that it went beyond the "very good" practical advice to make sure there were "enough zippers to go to the bathroom" in her costume. "One of the main takeaways from our conversations was 'What you put into Marvel, you get back.' He said, 'If you go into this with an open heart and a great work ethic and just want to provide an amazing experience for the fans, you'll have an amazing experience on those sets.' He really empowered me in that way."
>It's a classic comic book quandary,
>It's a comic book plot!
>...from the comics!
>...from Mar-vell!
>It all makes for a trippy interstellar odyssey that 2021's CANDYMAN helmer Nia DaCosta couldn't wait to direct. Like Vellani, she has an impressively nerdy pedigree. As a kid, she would obsessively pore over her uncle's old Marvel issues. Later, as a college student, she stumbled upon the original Ms. Marvel comics, which first introduced teenager Kamala Khan.
>"I'm a big nerd from New York City, and here was this hero who was a big nerd from Jersey City, writing fanfiction the way I used to when I was that age," explains DaCosta. "It was really fun to feel close to that character in that really specific way, in a way you don't often feel when it's Iron Man or Thor. That was so exciting to me, knowing that I could be a part of bringing this character who I've loved for a decade to the big screen."
>Still, helming a massive sci-fi blockbuster has its hurdles — especially when you want to do right by your geeky inner child. "The biggest challenge was finding the balance between my point of view as a director and as a comic book nerd," DaCosta admits. "Obviously, there are changes between the comics and the movies, and sometimes I'm like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is wrong!' Sometimes Kevin Feige would be like, 'You're being too much of a nerd. Please stop.'"

>Each of the Marvels has a unique combat style, which meant that while Parris spent months practicing boxing, Vellani was perfecting Kamala's parkour-inspired moves. One of DaCosta's early priorities was making sure her cast didn't look (or fight) the same, and Ashton remembers an early conversation with the director where DaCosta encouraged her to prioritize agility and strength over physical appearance.
>"I was saying how much I was loving working out and getting physically strong, and she was like, 'Whatever you do, please do not turn up here on day one looking like a pencil!'" Ashton remembers. "That was the most freeing thing as a performer who thought the only way to be on camera in movies like this is to present aesthetically in a certain way."
>Zooming with the three Marvels is a bit like Zooming with three sisters who are reuniting for a long-overdue brunch. The conversation is a mix of gushing praise for one another's talents and the occasional playful insult. (At one point, Vellani pokes fun at her elder costars, causing an indignant Larson, 33, and Parris, 35, to retort: "We're like 30!") Together, the trio have an easy chemistry that reflects on screen, even when they're whooshing across the cosmos or blasting energy beams from their fists. "It was a very sisterly bond on set," DaCosta, 33, says of her leads. "It was really fun to see how their relationship mirrors their relationship in the movie."
>"This was something Kevin and I had talked about from the beginning," Larson explains of adding Kamala and Monica. "This was the way this story made sense to go." The cast hopes that shines through when THE MARVELS flies into theaters this fall. "It doesn't have to be intense and heavy," Larson says. "There's a lot of humor. I think this movie's very funny, and we laughed a lot while making it."
Brie looks genuinely unhinged here. Do they not select pictures with any level of specificity? She needs a better publicist.
That fat creatura isn’t looking much better either. Small hands though my little dick would feel massive in them.
>Do they not select pictures with any level of specificity?
"We did 20 takes...and this was the one with the least crazy old white woman eyes..."
God the worst thing about acting in these stupid fricking cape movies must be getting forced to act like family and friends with your co-stars for some reason. Why do cape movies do this more than almost any other genre? It took the fast and furious people like 6 movies over two decades before they started the “family” shit.
I think the first batch of Marvel stars genuinely had a good time together, and that's bled over to it being the expected standard. It's kind of cute when it seems earnest, but fricking annoying when it feels forced.
Do they only make sexless shit for dykes now?
what is genuinely mentally wrong with you to only think this moronically?
You sound like an AI trying its best to appear human. It’s pathetic.
your brain is fried dude, stop lurking for a while and get some fresh air
how small and shriveled is your peepee to be this salty?
How do you unironically type shit like this when you wear makeup and a dress regularly?
Anon it is a movie starring 3 attractive actresses and every shot they are releasing is less titillating than a window washing pamphlet.
This looks like shit AND pretty sexless.
Women make over 80 percent of all purchases, so yes
they actually made brie larson look hot in this still
But can they do the most difficult feat of all? Make anyone give a FRICK about captain marvel?
I wouldn't go as far as to say she's hot, but I'd say it's a positive step. She at least doesn't look male.
Didn't you see the first one? You should know the answer to that.
>She at least doesn't look male.
Scroll down to the image below it and you’ll change your mind
You mean “touch grass”, AI-san
why doesn't the actress who plays kamala lose weight? it's clearly the only thing holding her back from being comic accurate kamala khan
It not only looks like she didn’t but that she fricking gained like 15 pounds more. She’s massive. And I thought the MCU made steinfeld look bloated. Yeesh.
They'll just have the comics Kamala chub up to match.
monica is so boring. and her facial structure reminds me of the kid who goes like "whatchu talking bout willis" and it pisses me off
I think the tv series is part of what hurt post Endgame MCU
God I feel so bad for Brie and the rest of them because I'm very worried this movie is gonna eat shit
they oversaturated the market and also a lot of them were mediocre to bad
no shit
Okay but why did they replace Carol and Kamala's actually good costumes with absolute garbage?
Especially when the whole point of Kamala's costume in the MCU is that her fricking mom gave it to her so it represents the two reconnecting? So Kamala just throws that away and shits on it for no reason? If you're going to make movies that rely on the Disney+ shows for context, at least make them match up.
I dunno I thought this one looked like fun, while the first one looked like dogshit. The place swapping seems like it'll be fun. Still won't see it.
Whille I have all you here, I have a question. Who the FRICK watched the first captain marvel movie? Absolutely nobody in my circles watched it and that included engineering women, and west coast feminists.
Look anon, I'm not going to say it was a particularly good movie, but it had the fourth highest non-Avengers domestic box office to date, and second highest at the time it was released. Worldwide it was 4th at the time and 6th now. A lot of people saw it, and you don't get that kind of box office with a "bunch of people got duped into watching it on release and then it bombed in subsequent weeks." Enough people liked it to either watch it again or recommend it to other people or both. And don't say it was because people were hype over Endgame because that didn't help Ant-Man 2.
So, with those stats, I'd expect that people I know would have seen that. But who the frick are all those people who saw it? Age? Demographics? Culture?
>And don't say it was because people were hype over Endgame because that didn't help Ant-Man 2.
I actually don't fricking know. I know people wo watched ant man. I know people who watched black panther 2. I know people who watched the flash. And nobody bought the merch and is wearing it in public around me. Am I in some weird statistical black hole?
>Who the FRICK watched the first captain marvel movie?
People who were hyped for Endgame and were told Captain Marvel was important
Brie Larson never looks the same in photos.
It's like she's Vladimir Putin or something.
New costumes suck. The worst part about this movie is that people are never going to shut up about it. People are still pissed about Brie Larson after all these years and she didn't even do anything besides star in a mediocre movie. This film will generate more money via outrage clicks than it will in it's box-office.
They’re really gonna have captain marvel say “homie bands”?

whatever you say basement dweller
Aw yeah the first movie to ever make 17$ dolars in the box office
Monica has the best costume out of the three
