Regrettably, it\u2019s not an opinion but a stark reality that The Marvels falls short in comparison to every other MCU movie, lacking the soaring success they\u2019ve achieved. The sequel to Captain Marvel struggled to even reach $200 million in global box office earnings, a mere fraction of its predecessor\u2019s 2019 haul. Even as someone who found more enjoyment in the film than many others, it\u2019s perplexing how the studio could perceive this anything but a disappointing setback.<\/p>\n
For those who shared my appreciation for the team-up of Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, and Monica Rambeau, there\u2019s some promising news. Conversely, for those who found the movie less appealing, there\u2019s something quite puzzling. With the streaming release of The Marvels, fans can now delve into \u201cThe Making of The Marvels\u201d documentary on Disney Plus. In this hour-long special, screenwriter Elissa Karasik makes a bold assertion, hinting at The Marvels\u2019 intrinsic significance to the unfolding Multiverse Saga, leading towards Avengers 5 and 6.<\/p>\n
Karasik suggests that The Marvels serves as a blueprint for the future of the MCU, showcasing how disparate characters can be brought together across dimensions and timelines, enriching storytelling possibilities. She alludes to a broader cosmic community within the narrative, whether or not the characters are aware of it.<\/p>\n
Implying that The Marvels could be the groundwork for Avengers 5, Karasik hints at parallels between the heroines\u2019 convergence amidst cosmic peril and the potential reassembly of the Avengers in the face of a universe-threatening menace. While reminiscent of Infinity War, the emphasis on The Marvels\u2019 narrative significance is notable.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s important to note that Karasik\u2019s insights were provided during the film\u2019s production, prior to significant changes in the MCU landscape. Since then, alterations have been made, such as the removal of Jonathan Majors as Kang and the replacement of screenwriter Jeff Loveness with Michael Waldron. Thus, any thematic or narrative connections between The Marvels and Avengers 5 may have been altered or removed altogether.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the sequel\u2019s ability to unite heroes and thrust them into high-stakes action could still prove beneficial for an event film with a plethora of storylines to integrate. Perhaps, in retrospect, The Marvels will be vindicated and recognized as a pivotal chapter in the Multiverse Saga, rather than one the studio wishes to forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
