‘The Marvels’ – Vengeful Kree General is Out for Captain Marvel in New Trailer
The Kree are out for payback after Ronin’s defeat and a very angry general is after Carol and her new team. Maybe team? Check out the new The Marvels trailer.
Who are The Marvels?
Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, gained her powers by absorbing energy from the Tesseract/time stone. The former U.S. Air Force Pilot was trained as a Kree warrior; before recovering her memories, she helped them colonize planets. These days she fights for oppressed folks across the galaxy. The last time we saw her in the MCU was at the end of Ms. Marvel – looking at fan art in Kamala Khan‘s closet.
Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, gains her powers from a Kree bangle (or Nega-Band) passed down through her family. So far, her superhero adventures and battles have been at street level, so being suddenly thrown into space with aliens is extra strange, scary, and kinda neat. She’s new to this, but she’ll be fine.
Monica Rambeau is known as Pulsar, Spectrum, and Photon in the comics but hasn’t gotten a superhero name in the MCU. Her mother was a pilot and close friends with Carol, which led her to join S.W.O.R.D. The last time we saw her, she investigated Wanda’s Hex with the organization. Crossing the chaos magic barrier led to her cells being rewritten.
The Marvels – New Villainous Trailer
In the first trailer the three heroes are linked by something causing them to swap when they access their powers. In the latest we learn why and how.
Captain Marvel turned on the Kree, thwarted Ronan’s invasion, and threatened to return to finish the job. She was also instrumental in saving Talos and his family. The Kree aren’t ones to ignore a major defeat and are usually hell-bent on getting revenge.
One Kree general is on a mission. The latest trailer showcases Zawe Ashton’s Dar-Benn along with her posse of Kree Accusers. She’s a little bit more than hell-bent on getting revenge on Carol.
Oh, there are more kittens and they’re adorable.
A New Team
I’ve been looking forward to this team up since Ms. Marvel’s solo show was announced. I’m a huge Carol fan, and it’s a big deal to have a woman led story in the comic book space. Director Nia DaCosta described the trio of actors having a sisterly bond, one that mirrors the movie.
Captain Marvel is still the center – she has just as much to learn as Kamala and Monica.
“I understand that feeling of being afraid to let go of control, of being afraid of passing on responsibility to others. You almost want to take on all of the burden yourself. So, I think this is an incredible metaphor for learning how to be in a team. It’s a very clear example that no one person can do it all. You need all kinds of skill sets, all kinds of people with different viewpoints and different backgrounds in order to save the world.”
