Marvel Studios is getting fans buzzing after the reveal of the title for the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Captain Marvel, which will be called, The Marvels. The name implies what fans have long suspected, that Captain Marvel won’t be the only superhero featured in the film.
Captain Marvel Team
Of course, Brie Larson will be back as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, but she will be joined by Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, who appeared earlier this year in the Disney+ series, WandaVision; and Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, who is expected to be introduced in the upcoming Disney+ show of the same name sometime in the fall. That will allow fans an opportunity to get to know the character and her stretching abilities before the movie.
Nia DaCosta, best known for her work on Candyman, will direct The Marvels based on a script by WandVision scribe Megan McDonnell.
While plot details are not surprisingly being kept hush-hush, it’s been leaked that Zawe Ashton will be playing a villain in the movie.
