The Marvels to be an Avengers-like crossover

The third film of MCU's Phase Five, The Marvels is one of 2023's most anticipated releases featuring the first-ever team-up between Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau. The film is yet to commence its marketing campaign since a trailer for the film was not released during Super Bowl LVII.

However, the event featured trailers from other films such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Flash. Despite the absence of a trailer for The Marvels during the Superbowl, Kevin Feige, head honcho and lead producer of Marvel Studios, has revealed some key information regarding the film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Feige revealed his reactions and expectations of seeing Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), and Monica Rambeau together on-screen for the first time in the movie. He also revealed how the dynamic between Carol, Kamala, and Monica would be the central focus of The Marvels:

"That's what the entire movie is about. There are fun cosmic elements to it. Marvel comic fans will recognize elements of the Kree-Skrull war. And it's picking up directly after the end of Captain Marvel 1, not in timeline but in story. We also do that in our upcoming Disney+ series Secret Invasion, and those are two very different follow-ups to that movie. Tonally, they couldn't be more different."

He also revealed how seeing Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau together in a frame for the first time was "immensely powerful" and "chill inducing":

"But there's something immensely powerful about seeing Monica and Kamala and Carol together in a frame. To me, it's only akin to the first Avengers movie and seeing the six of them together in a frame. It's chill-inducing. They're so great together, and they all have different histories with one another."

The Marvel Studios president then mentioned how Ms. Marvel is similar to Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Claiming how Kamala could not believe she was with the heroes, he said:

"The great thing about Kamala in her show, and now in this movie, is that she's not unlike Tom Holland's Peter Parker in Civil War. She can't believe she's with these other heroes, and can't believe that she finds herself in these places. And that's fun because we want to be that. I want to be that."

The Marvels will be the first film where fans will see Brie Larson's Captain Marvel portrayed as a team player after she operated as a solo hero in Captain Marvel. In fact, the central plot of the upcoming film depicts how she will be forced to work in a team.
