The Marvels is a 2023 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the sequel to the film Captain Marvel (2019), a continuation of the television miniseries Ms. Marvel (2022), and the 33rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Nia DaCosta, who co-wrote the screenplay with Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik. Featuring the characters Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel, it stars Brie Larson as Danvers, Teyonah Parris as Rambeau, and Iman Vellani as Khan, alongside Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Park Seo-joon, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, and Samuel L. Jackson. In the film, Danvers, Rambeau, and Khan team up after they begin swapping places with each other every time they use their powers.
Marvel Studios confirmed plans to make a sequel to Captain Marvel in July 2019. Development began in January 2020 with McDonnell hired after working on the television miniseries WandaVision (2021). Larson was set to return from the first film as Danvers, and DaCosta was hired to direct that August. In December, Parris was revealed to be reprising her role as Rambeau from WandaVision alongside Vellani returning as Kamala from Ms. Marvel. Second unit filming began in mid-April 2021 in New Jersey, and the title—referring to the three characters and their similar abilities—was revealed in early May. Principal photography began in July 2021 and concluded by mid-May 2022, taking place at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire and Longcross Studios in Surrey, England, as well as in Los Angeles and Tropea, Italy. Karasik's involvement was revealed during post-production.
The Marvels premiered in Las Vegas on November 7, 2023, and was released in the United States on November 10, as part of Phase Five of the MCU, to an opening weekend flop at the box office.[5] It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for DaCosta's direction and the chemistry between the three leads, but criticism towards the plot. The Marvels has grossed $161 million worldwide.
Carol Danvers defies the influence of the Supreme Intelligence[a] and destroys it, which leads to a Kree civil war and the desolation of their home world, Hala. The conflict renders the planet barren as it loses its air, water, and sunlight.
Dar-Benn, the new leader of the Kree, retrieves one of the Quantum Bands, of which Kamala Khan has the other half. Dar-Benn harnesses the power of the Band to tear open a jump point in space. The resulting anomaly is discovered by S.W.O.R.D.
Meanwhile, Nick Fury, now residing at the S.A.B.E.R. space station,[b] hosts peace talks between the Kree and the Skrulls. Monica Rambeau investigates the jump point anomaly near S.A.B.E.R. while Danvers investigates the source, where Dar-Benn found the Quantum Band. When Rambeau touches the anomaly, she, Danvers, and Kamala switch places through teleportation.[c] The switching causes the three to fight each others' Kree enemies, leaving the Khan family home destroyed in their wake.
After the three women return to their original places, Fury and Rambeau visit Kamala on Earth. As Kamala eagerly demonstrates her powers, she switches places with Danvers. When Danvers flies away, she switches places with Kamala in mid-air. The group surmises that their light-based powers are linked through quantum entanglement, and that they switch places when any of the three use their powers simultaneously.
The three join up at a Skrull refugee colony on the planet Tarnax, where talks of resettlement have dissolved. Dar-Benn rips open another jump point, which siphons the atmosphere of Tarnax into Hala and restores its air. After a hasty effort to evacuate the colony, Danvers, Rambeau, and Kamala form a team informally referred to by Kamala as "the Marvels". Danvers informs the others of the legend that the Quantum Bands had been used to create the jump point transportation network; the three became entangled due to their mutual contact with its energy when Dar-Benn disrupted it. Dar-Benn's repeated rupturing of jump points is causing instability to the network and endangering the entire universe.
Dar-Benn reaches the water planet Aladna, where she tears open a jump point to draw the ocean water into Hala. Her final plan is to usurp Earth's sun to restore that of Hala. The Marvels fight and subdue Dar-Benn, but she steals Kamala's Band and uses both bangles to tear open another hole in space. The act destroys Dar-Benn and leaves behind a rupture into the multiverse. After Kamala reclaims the Bands, she and Danvers use their combined powers to energize Rambeau, allowing her to close the hole from the other side, stranding her in the process. Danvers flies into Hala's sun and uses her power to restore it.
The short-lived team-up inspires Kamala to seek out other heroes and form a new group, starting with Kate Bishop. In a mid-credits scene, Rambeau awakes in a parallel universe where she is greeted by an alternate version of her mother, Maria, and the mutant scientist Hank McCoy.
