Teyonah Parris, who portrays Monica Rambeau in 'The Marvels', recently revealed that she had no idea she was filming a scene with the X-Men character Beast. The post-credits scene in the movie features Parris waking up in a lab on an alternate Earth within the Multiverse where the X-Men are already established. Parris expressed her emotional reaction to landing the role of Monica Rambeau in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). 'The Marvels' is set to be released on November 10, 2023 [dfa74dc8].
The surprise X-Men cameo in 'The Marvels' adds to the growing speculation about the introduction of X-Men characters in the MCU. With Disney's acquisition of Fox's X-Men universe, fans have been eagerly anticipating the integration of X-Men characters into the MCU. The inclusion of Beast in the post-credits scene hints at the possibility of more X-Men characters making their way into future MCU projects. This development aligns with the expanding focus on mutants in the MCU, as other mutants like Sabra, Ms. Marvel, Namor, El Aguila, and Professor X are also set to appear in upcoming projects [12abec22].
The surprise cameo of Beast and the potential introduction of X-Men characters in 'The Marvels' further solidify the themes of mutants and exploration of the multiverse 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 [12abec22].
In other news, Iman Vellani, who plays the role of Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel in the MCU, has been assured by Marvel that she will not be leaving the franchise. Vellani has shouldered two projects, including 'Ms. Marvel,' which received positive reviews. Marvel's assurance comes after the disappointing box office performance of 'The Marvels.' This reassurance indicates that Vellani will continue to be a part of the MCU and suggests that her character will have a significant role in future projects. Fans can look forward to seeing more of Vellani's portrayal of Kamala Khan and her interactions with other MCU characters [4a699ad7].
Anson Mount, an actor, expressed his disbelief when he saw the scene featuring Black Bolt in the movie 'Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness'. The movie is described as a battle between director Sam Raimi's creative vision and the corporate sensibilities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While the film showcases Raimi's unique and spooky filmmaking style, it also includes forced moments that seem like studio notes to promote future MCU properties. The scene with Black Bolt is seen as an advertisement for future movies. Despite this, the Raimi sensibilities prevail in the movie, making it enjoyable [73a39d7a].
Anson Mount reflects on his late involvement in the reshoots for 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'. Mount did not directly interact with his co-stars, including Patrick Stewart, due to scheduling conflicts. Stand-in actors were used, with the expectation that shots would be altered or faces would be CGI'd later. The final cut of the film seamlessly integrates the stand-ins and CGI, creating a cohesive look. However, upon closer examination, the lack of natural group dynamics and synchronized reactions among the actors becomes apparent. Mount's experience highlights the complexities of modern filmmaking and the importance of true actor interaction [93a130b0].
Florence Pugh, the actress known for her role in 'Dune: Part Two', gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Marvel Studios movie 'Thunderbolts'. Pugh, dressed as her character Yelena Belova, reveals that she has been filming in Atlanta and shares a sneak peek of the movie sets, including an elevator shaft. She also introduces the movie's director, Jake Schreier. The movie will feature Pugh's character teaming up with other MCU veterans, such as Red Guardian, Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier, John Walker/U.S. Agent, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Pugh expresses excitement about the project and signs off with a kiss to the camera. The movie is set to be released on May 2, 2025 [66b0d4b3].
