Following Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, the third and final MCU blockbuster of 2023 will be The Marvels.
Essentially Captain Marvel 2, the movie teams up Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers with Teyonah Parris’s Monica Rambeau (WandaVision) and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan (Ms Marvel).
Additionally, following the events of Secret Invasion, Samuel L Jackson reprises Nick Fury in the film that sees the female superhero trio mysteriously swap places with each other every time they use their powers.
The Marvel’s final trailer landed today and teases some multiverse shenanigans with an investigation into a wormhole linked to the Kree.
Monica, the daughter of the late Maria Rambeau, is heard saying that “a different reality is bleeding into ours”.
The action-packed new trailer for The Marvels features Tessa Thompson’s King Valkyrie from Thor Love and Thunder (NB: she’s not the leaked end credits cameo – that’s further down), but also the introduction of what many fans believe to be the X-Men, as Nick Fury is heard uttering “They’re here”.
In one split-second moment, a figure in a black and white costume reminiscent of Halle Berry’s Storm walks in front of Monica’s hospital bed.
Interestingly, there’s also an “X” in the bottom right corner of the hospital screen, which could be a further hint
Nevertheless, other fans think it’s actually her mother Maria in a flashback, but apart from the “X”, another recent short teaser appears to tease the introduction of the X-Men to the MCU too.
The short clip (watch above) called “What Comes Next?” depicts that very sentence, which fades away while the “X” in next remains for a split second.
Fans also spotted the X doorway in the first episode of Loki season 2, which had the exact same design as the one from the Fox movies starring Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.
The latter is set to feature in Deadpool 3, following the former’s MCU debut as a Charles Xavier variant in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
Aside from all this, The Marvels’ end credits scene has leaked on social media featuring Ms Marvel talking to Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), presumably to assemble into the Young Avengers.
The Marvels hits cinemas on November 10, 2023.
