Final trailer for The Marvels recalls past Avengers as a new threat looms
For whatever reason—superhero fatigue, disappointing performances by Marvel's last few films, the ongoing Hollywood strikes, or the general depressing state of the world—The Marvels doesn't seem to have generated the same kind of palpable anticipation that preceded the franchise's most successful releases. That's despite a fun, promising trailer back in July. Directed by Nia DaCosta, the movie opens this weekend, and the studio has dropped one last trailer with nods to past Avengers in their battle against Thanos, perhaps to remind us all why we fell in love with the MCU to begin with.
(Spoilers for Avengers: Endgame below.)
As previously reported, Brie Larson and Iman Vellani reprise their respective roles as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel for the film, along with Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, daughter of Carol/Captain Marvel's BFF Maria. Monica grew up to become a SWORD agent, but thanks to the events of WandaVision, she can also absorb and manipulate energy as Spectrum. As for Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, she's a teenage Pakistani American who lives in Jersey City. She's a major comic books fan, worships Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, and fantasized about becoming a superhero someday. Her powers stem from the Terrigen Mists, released globally in a crossover storyline, the "Inhumanity." The mists activated dormant Inhuman cells in several people, Kamala included.
