The plot: Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.
The Marvels Movie was alright.
Pros: I love so much of the bonding and power swapping moments between the three heroes. The sequel was so upbeat & really moving. Carol was a lot better this time around. Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel works with in the film in every scene she in and I wasn’t bored watching this sequel.
Cons: The main villain Dar-Benn wasn’t that good. They could’ve done more with the skrulls or Prince Yan or Nick Fury and there’s some silly moments that should be removed from the film.
The Casts:
- Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel:
An Avenger and former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot whose DNA was altered during an accident, imbuing her with superhuman strength, energy projection and absorption, and flight. Larson said that the film would dive deeper into Danvers’ character and her “complexities” after her origin story was set up in Captain Marvel (2019). Since the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Danvers has mostly been off Earth in deep space, with Larson saying she “kind of became a workaholic, and she lost touch with her heart and with family and friends”. - Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau:
An astronaut for S.A.B.E.R. who is working with Nick Fury and has the ability to manipulate all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. She is the daughter of Danvers’ late friend and fellow airwoman Maria Rambeau, and looked up to Danvers as a child. - Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel:
A teenage human-mutant from Jersey City who idolizes Danvers and wears a magical bangle that unlocked her ability to harness cosmic energy and create hard light constructs. - Zawe Ashton as Supremor Dar-Benn:
A Kree warrior revolutionary wielding an Accuser’s hammer and an identical bangle to Kamala’s who is trying to restore her homeland after a civil war. - Gary Lewis as Emperor Dro’ge: The leader of the Skrull colony on the planet Tarnax.
- Park Seo-joon as Prince Yan: The charismatic prince of the planet Aladna who is Danvers’ husband and ally.
- Zenobia Shroff as Muneeba Khan: Kamala’s mother.
- Mohan Kapur as Yusuf Khan: Kamala’s father.
- Saagar Shaikh as Aamir Khan: Kamala’s older brother.
- Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury:
The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who is working at S.A.B.E.R. in deep space with the Skrulls.
I still recommend watching this sequel when this film comes to Disney+.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars
