What is it about? Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, must deal with the unintended consequences of her victory against the Kree. Unexpected effects now force him to bear the brunt of a destabilized world.
During a mission that thrusts him into a strange vortex closely linked to the actions of Chris the Revolutionary, his powers collide with those of Kamala Khan – Miss Marvel, her super fan from Jersey City – and her “niece”. Captain Monica Rambo, now an astronaut on SABER
Chaotic at first, this unlikely trio is soon forced to band together and learn to work together to save the world. Only one name: “Wonder”!
Some stars are expected!
In 2015, when Captain Marvel was being planned, Rebecca Ferguson, who appeared on The White Queen and who exploded thanks to Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, was strongly considered for the role of the superhero.
That same year, Bryce Dallas Howard asked Marvel Studios for a role while promoting Jurassic World! Note also that Katheryn Winnick, Natalie Dormer, Kate Sackhoff, Yvonne Strahovski and Emily Blunt were also more or less approached before Brie Larson inherited the character (after turning it down twice!).

A trio of superheroes
When Captain Marvel unwittingly launches this new space epic, the eternal loner finds himself literally entwined with two new faces of the MCU: Kamala Khan – a teenager from Jersey City – and scientist/astronaut Monica Rambo, his estranged niece (who also happens to be the late Maria Rambo’s daughter).
Realizing that their powers are linked, Carol decides to team up with Monica and Kamala to stop Dar-Ben from disrupting the space-time continuum. Kamala Khan, played by Iman Whelan, first appeared in Miss Marvel, while Monica Rambo (Teyona Paris) was rediscovered as an adult in WandaVision.
In addition, the antagonist Dar-Ben, the powerful ruler of the Kree Empire, will be portrayed by Zaveh Ashton, a British actor who is also the companion of Tom Hiddleston (known for his role as Loki in Thor, Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, Thor. : Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania).
Is Marvels a good movie? The first viewers to express their opinion
New director
If Captain Marvel (2019) was directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, this sequel is directed by Nia DaCosta, to whom we owe Little Woods (2018) and Candyman (2021). For him, the tone of the film had to be both extravagant and entertaining, as the action prevails: “The three heroines switch positions and powers. It might seem chaotic and messy, but I really wanted that to be reflected in their distinctive characteristics.”
“So the humor of Captain Marvel is different from Ms. Marvel, because the former is a 63-year-old woman in a 30-year-old body, and the latter is a 16-year-old spending time with her idol. I wanted to make sure that all these performances were felt by the audience. Capturing the warmth of all the characters and the relationship between these three characters learning to be a family was really important to me.”
“Family is an important theme of the film: Carol and Monica reunite after years of losing their sight. The Khan clan represents a kind of ideal in their eyes after Maria’s death. The concept of family and the approach of these three characters. It is necessary to better discover yourself.”
great facilities
On 26 July 2021, filming began in the UK for The Marvels, requiring the construction of 54 different sets spread over 8 sets (4 at Pinewood Studios, 4 others at Longcross Studios), 2 backyards and a golf course. Longcross Studios (where Carol Danvers’ house is located).
These settings included 5 different planets, 5 spaceships, 2 escape ships, 3 escape pods, 1 space elevator, 1 Cessna 150 (a two-seater airplane with a tricycle undercarriage), and 3 houses, including Maria Rambo’s house. First movie and golf course built; Khan’s house, whose interior and exterior match his Marvel series; The space station SABER – one of the most difficult and time-consuming structures to build – and finally the colorful and festive decoration of Aladna.
