In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the introduction of mutants and the exploration of the multiverse continue to be prominent themes. The upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World is rumored to introduce the mutant superheroine Sabra, played by Israeli actress Shira Haas. This aligns with the expanding focus on mutants in the MCU, with other mutants like Ms. Marvel, Namor, El Aguila, and Professor X set to appear.
Another film, The Marvels, is also hinting at the exploration of the multiverse. A newly released promo for the movie reveals ties to the wider Multiverse Saga and hints at another surprise appearance. The promo shows Dar-Benn's bangle causing another reality to bleed into Earth-616, potentially leading to an incursion. Monica Rambeau comes face-to-face with an unidentified costumed hero who bears a resemblance to Binary. The prevailing theory is that this hero is a Maria Rambeau from another reality. This potential multiversal cameo in The Marvels further emphasizes the exploration of the multiverse in the MCU.
In addition, a recent article from The Mary Sue discusses a scene from The Marvels that closely resembles a storyline from the Marvel comic books. The scene showcases the use of powers by characters like Monica Rambeau, Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, and Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers. The article highlights how Captain Marvel saves the dying sun in the movie, which is a nod to similar events in the comic books. The author expresses excitement about seeing such epic events from the comics portrayed on the big screen and praises the portrayal of the powerful MCU version of Captain Marvel.
The introduction of mutants and the exploration of the multiverse are interconnected themes in the MCU. These themes open up new possibilities for storytelling and allow for the integration of diverse characters and storylines from different realities and dimensions. Fans can look forward to seeing how these themes unfold in future MCU projects, as the universe continues to expand and evolve.
However, fans have expressed disappointment over the lack of a press tour for The Marvels. The chemistry between the three female leads, Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms. Marvel, is a major selling point of the movie. A press tour would have been an opportunity to promote the film and showcase the performances of Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani. Unfortunately, the absence of a press tour may affect the film's success, as it prevents casual viewers from learning about the movie and generating buzz. Factors like misogyny and superhero fatigue could also contribute to lower audience turnout. It's a missed opportunity to engage with fans and build excitement for the film.
