Undoubtedly taking advantage of Barbenheimer weekend—and hinting at what a Marvel Comic Con appearance could have been—Marvel dropped a new trailer forThe Marvelsjust in time to stick it in front of at least one of the two big new movies this weekend.
Building on thegood vibesof the teaser, the new trailer explains a little more about the connection between Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan. It seems the space-swapping problem is introduced by the villain, Dar-Benn, a Kree played by Zawe Ashton (whose fiancé, Tom Hiddleston, offered somepractical advice她的服装)。所以,至少一些Kreeare still mad at Carol Danvers. I hope this doesn’t tie heavily intoSecret Invasion, because no one is watching that. Maybeputting it on Huluwill help?
I still really like the look of this movie, and using the Beastie Boys in the trailer is a nice touch, a bit of 90s continuity with the first film. I also like that we get a little bit more of a tease this time about the conflict between Monica and Carol—I just cannot imagine this film won’t address Carol’s long absence from Monica’s life—and Iman Vellani remains the CUTEST. Honestly, her energy is so infectious. I knowdroppingMs. Marvelon ABCis primarily about filling schedule amidst the ongoing double strike, but I hope it also serves to draw more fans to Kamala Khan. She deserves it!
Speaking of, Iman Vellani is nowa comic book writer, too. She andMs. Marvelwriter Sabir Pirzada are teaming up to write a new book for Kamala titledMs. Marvel: The New Mutant. Kamala was recently killed off in the comics, but this new book will probably explain her resurrection.
2023 has been a mixed bag for Marvel so far, and I am super curious to see ifThe Marvelsis moreGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3orAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The trailers forThe Marvelsare far more encouraging than those forQuantumaniaever were, but it is increasingly hard to tell what audiences will go for in the superhero genre.The Marvelstrends on social media consistently, even without new trailers or news, which is a good sign, but again, prediction is increasingly fraught as the audience grows ever more discerning. It’s no longer enough to just be A superhero movie, they have to be GOOD superhero movies, or else, as we’ve seenrecently, audiences stay home.
The Marvelslooks promising, but only time will tell.
