There are still eight months until The Marvels arrives in theaters, but fans may have gotten their first look at the trio from the upcoming film. A photo that is doing the rounds on social media features Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau. Based on the image of the merchandise, it seems like some of these heroes will be getting new costumes.
The Marvels was initially planned to be a direct sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel. However, plans for the film changed and Marvel Studios decided to create a crossover of sorts by bringing the three heroes into a single project together. Larson's Carol Danvers and Vellani's Kamala Khan already had an interaction of sorts towards the end of Ms. Marvel, but Parris’ Rambeau will also seemingly join forces with them to form The Marvels. While fans await more updates about the film and its potential plot line, the image of a piece of merchandise has shed some light on what the three will look like in the upcoming film.
The image of the pillow, which was first shared by Instagram user @umportalgeek, features a close look at the three heroes and what they will be wearing as their superhero avatars. The image is not a still from The Marvels but instead seems like a composite of promotional images. Vellani's Ms. Marvel costume looks slightly different from the one she donned in the Disney Plus series, with more padding and armor seemingly incorporated into the suit. The Captain Marvel suit also seems to have been modified ever so slightly, with more red hues added in. However, it is Rambeau's suit that is a whole new version and exciting for fans to see before the film’s promotions have even begun.
Rambeau was last seen in WandaVision, where fans saw how she obtained her powers by going through the hex multiple times and absorbing the energy field. The character has had several aliases in Marvel Comics, including Photon and Spectrum. When she appeared in the WandaVision finale, she wore a costume that was similar to the one worn by Photon in the comics. However, in The Marvels, it seems like her costume will be more comic-book-accurate. The costume incorporates more black hues, with the character’s logo visible on the chest.
Not much is known about The Marvels at the moment, apart from the fact that the three heroes will be sharing screen space. When the film was first confirmed, the studio had teased that fans should “prepare to experience [the film] and fly higher, further, and faster.” It remains to be seen whether the three heroes will work together or if there will instead be a potential showdown between the characters.
The Marvels is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 28, 2023.
