Tag: The Marvels

The Marvel family will finally unite in the upcoming sequel to 2018’s Captain Marvel, with Carol Danvers set to team up with Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau. With all these newcomers, it would be nice to see a few familiar faces. Luckily, Samuel L. Jackson already teased his return as Nick Fury and Jude Law also potentially making a return. Yet, it seems that they may not be the only returning characters.

Recently the cast and director of The Marvels were spotted out in public with actress Lashana Lynch, who previously played Maria Rambeau in the first Captain Marvel film. The character was briefly mentioned in Wandavision, where we met an older version of her daughter working for S.W.O.R.D. In it, we found out that Maria had passed away due to cancer sometime during the blip.

Its currently unknown if Lynch has indeed joined the upcoming film, but seems possible if she was spotted with both DaCosta and Parris, who are both newcomers to the franchise. If she is indeed in the film, the role will most likely be limited and set in the past. Perhaps we can explore her life after the first film and the formation of S.W.O.R.D. It’ll be interesting to see them explore the Rambeau’s relationship with Captain Marvel, as there seemed to be some resentment towards Carol from Monica seen in a brief moment in WandaVision. Here’s hoping we find out more in the near future.

It looks like The Marvel‘s production is going to Italy, as the governor of Tropea, Giovanni Macrì announced that the film will be heading to the Italian town to shoot a scene for the film. It’ll start production there on August 27th but no end date has been announced. They also don’t go into detail about who will be involved with the shoot, as it’s also uncertain if what they are filming will take place in this town, or it might even become the background for an alien planet.

Tropea is a resort located in the province of Vibo Valentiana in Calabria. It even won the “most beautiful village in Italy” award back in 2021. Now what is interesting is that there’s a lot of history surrounding the city, as the location is where Hercules returned after finishing his labors. The Marvel universe is no stranger to the Greek half-god, and it would be unexpected if he appears in the film.

Yet, there’s also the possibility that it connects to Nick Fury. Perhaps he is there on vacation after traveling through space for some time. At the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, we see him enjoying a fake beach on a holodeck before revealing he’s on a ship with Skrulls. Perhaps he got tired of it and wanted to enjoy the real thing before meeting back up with Carol. We know Samuel L. Jackson is returning for the film. We’ll see once the film releases, but it’s nice to see Marvel Studios expanding their filming locations.

Just recently, we learned that the sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel has started production. We still don’t know where the story exactly picks up, but we did get the confirmation that Carol Danvers won’t be the only holder of the Marvel title. She’ll be joined by WandaVision‘s Monica Rambeau and the newest member of the Marvel family, Kamala Khan.

There’s the potential we might see many more heroes join the fray, as Samuel L. Jackson hinted at his appearance in the film, which might tie into the Disney+ Secret Invasion series. The project will see a new direction alongside its new director, Nia DaCosta. She’s worked on the recent Candyman film and she offered a tease of what we can expect for the upcoming film. She even highlights it’ll be “a very different beast” from the previous entry in the franchise, as it focuses on a specific theme.

But I am obsessed with how we all deal with our pain and trauma, and there’s some of that in the story.

Nia DaCosta

The theme strongly matches with the first seeds set when we were introduced to Teyonah Parris‘ Rambeau. We find out her mother, Maria Rambeau, passed away during the events of the snap. When Captain Marvel was named, she seemed openly upset at hearing her name. So, there might be a clash between two of our heroes. Monica gained superhuman abilities in WandaVision, which might make her a formidable foe in the series but her abilities are quite distinct.

We don’t know if the series might also dive into the Kree-Skrull War storyline from the comics or is also a side story for Secret Invasion. There’s a lot of potentials and the theme will add a new layer to this story moving forward. It’ll be interesting to explore Carol Danvers in the modern-day after witnessing what she has gone through, especially with her solo story taking place in the 90s. There’s a lot we might not know about her journey since outside of taking on Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.

All eyes are on Samuel L. Jackson right now, as he recently teased the return of Nick Fury’s iconic mustache. The only question was which project is he included, as we know he’ll have a starring role in Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Yet, there have been inklings he’d also join the upcoming The Marvel‘s film, which will see the team-up of Brie Larson‘s Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris‘ Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani‘s Ms. Marvel. Larson recently confirmed that production has started with director Nia DaCosta. As if they timed it perfectly, he released his Instagram post with the iconic beard confirming he is currently filming a project.

It wasn’t until his second Instagram post that he tagged The Marvel‘s film and potentially confirmed his appearance in the film. There’s still little information that leaked from the project, but it seems possible he’s also working on Secret Invasion, as the projects could potentially interconnect due to the strong inclusion of the Skrulls. They had a prominent role in the first Captain Marvel film and the sequel might continue telling that story, as there are also rumblings of Jude Law‘s Yon-Rogg making a return.

The exciting aspect about these two projects filming around the same time is the implications for the story. We still don’t know how true the Secret Invasion series will be to the comics. So, there might be some curious twists that also tie into the film, as they’re still is no word on who their main antagonist might be. Perhaps we’ll witness the Skrull-Kree War that ended up getting continued on Earth much to our hero’s dismay.
