According to insider Daniel RPK (via @cosmic_marvel), Marvel is currently considering a second season for Ms. Marvel starring Iman Vellani. No further details have been specified, but it has been rumoured that Ms. Marvel was being considered for a guest appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, before they decided to just have Kamala’s dad show up instead.

It’s worth noting that Ms. Marvel was originally developed in a non-traditional way. It was said that the early Disney+ Marvel series were treated like really long movies, which lead to a lot of problems when it came to production.

The Daredevil reboot is said to be the start of a return to the traditional format with the hiring of a proper showrunner who would create a ‘series bible’ for the show. No doubt Ms. Marvel is also going to go through the same process should a second series get greenlit.

Though Ms. Marvel also received the ire of the anti-woke fanbase, the show was actually very well-received, and has been praised for its depiction of modern Muslim culture. The series even got praise for Watchmen series and Lost creator Damon Lindelof who wrote about Ms. Marvel:

this is one of the best things I saw on any network, streamer or movie screen in the past year. Originality masked in I.P… and a cultural authenticity that dares the entire industry to rise to it. As the imam of Kamala’s mosque eloquently puts it – ‘Good is not a thing you are. It is a thing you do.'”this is one of the best things I saw on any network, streamer or movie screen in the past year. Originality masked in I.P… and a cultural authenticity that dares the entire industry to rise to it. As the imam of Kamala’s mosque eloquently puts it – ‘Good is not a thing you are. It is a thing you do.'”

Fingers crossed the rumor about a Ms. Marvel 2 is true.

The first season of Ms. Marvel is now streaming on Disney+.

The Marvels had teased Kamala building her own team of Young Avengers, but we don’t know exactly when they’ll show up. Luckily, Vellani has given us a small update.

Talking to Polygon, Vellani confirms, “I have been assured… So that feels good, but there was no more assurance than that. [laugh] They give me breadcrumbs, and I try and make a meal out of it.”

Though Ms. Marvel wasn’t as big as WandaVision, the series still had some huge milestones for the MCU. Besides setting up Kamala’s character for The Marvels, the series had also revealed that Kamala is the MCU’s very first mutant—which means that we could very well see her be connected with the MCU’s version of the X-Men.

Fingers crossed that they bring Kamala in for Deadpool 3, seeing as that property is expected to officially close Fox’s era of X-Men movies and pass the torch on over to Marvel. With Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman onboard, you can’t expect a better team-up for the mutant sendoff/reboot.

Going back to Ms. Marvel though, there are multiple ways for her to show up in the future, but based on what Marvel is planning (and how it’s recently been blown up because of the Jonathan Majors fiasco), maybe they just want to get back to solid ground before they start connecting more and more dots in the future.

For now, you can check out Ms. Marvel and The Marvels now showing on Disney+.

Talking to Empire, Jackson exclaims, “He’s not dead!” and when the site tried to ask him what kind of project he would have liked to work on, Jackson just said, “Everything, yes!”

For context, Jackson’s Mace Windu had been one of the main Jedi masters of the entire sequel trilogy, finally brandishing a lightsaber in Attack of the Clones, then falling to his death thanks to Darth Sidious and Anakin Skywalker.

With so many characters coming back to life, a lot of fans think that it’s ultimately better for Star Wars if some characters stayed dead, but there could be ways for Jackson to come back in some form without having to resurrect Windu.

He already did a voice cameo as Windu in The Rise of Skywalker, but some fans have been pitching a young Windu series with someone else taking on the role. If they want to go further with the Ahsoka series, I think they could just bring in a hologram of young Windu in Clone Wars armor, and use some of that Captain Marvel magic to de-age Jackson.

For now, Mace Windu remains a dead Jedi, but there’s always some wiggle room in a galaxy far far away.

As per insider DanielRPK (via @HollywoodHandle), Taylor-Joy is apparently being eyed to play a villain in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot which is rumored to start shooting in July.

We don’t have any details on who Joy could be playing, but seeing as a lot of people who actually saw New Mutants loved her as Magik, there is a chance that Marvel could want to keep her onboard on the mutant side of things—especially now that they’ve crossed over to that alternate dimension with The Marvels.

Some fans actually suspect that she could be cast as the Silver Surfer, who is being rumored to be genderbent in the MCU as a woman this time. Then again, Galactus had several heralds, one of which is Ardina, who was said to be a feminine version of the Silver Surfer. Even the Dazzler had been imbued with the Power Cosmic at some point and I wouldn’t mind Taylor-Joy taking on that role.

If anything, Taylor-Joy has become one of the most sought-after talents today, from projects like Queen’s Gambit and The Menu; if Marvel manages to land her, I’m just crossing my fingers they don’t waster her talent for some forgettable side character from the comics.

Fantastic Four is expected to release on May 2, 2025.

As it turns out, the movie was originally going to imply that Carol and Valkyrie were exes. According to @CanWeGetSomeToast, when Valkyrie comes over to take the Skrull refugees, there would have been a line where one of them would say, “We work better as friends,” implying that the two have been together more intimately before.

We don’t exactly know why the scene was cut, but a lot of fans already know Marvel/Disney’s way of showcasing representation with two steps forward and one step back. Maybe they couldn’t risk the thought that Carol would be bisexual and endanger the conservatives from suddenly deeming her as an inappropriate role model.

Whatever they did though, The Marvels is currently being bashed for being one of the biggest MCU bombs in history. Then again, a lot of fans stand by that this is not a result of the movie being of poor quality. Some think that it has something to do with the poor marketing for the film, others think that the strike also hurt the chances for better promotion for the movie.

Of course, there is always the endless wave of Youtubers and anti-woke propagandists that have made careers just hating on anything where women are in the spotlight.

Hopefully Marvel and Disney don’t learn the wrong lesson with The Marvels. Some fans still have their fingers crossed that maybe good word of mouth could save the movie during its run—like the way Elemental did for Pixar.

This week’s Variety cover story:

Crisis at Marvel: Jonathan Majors Back-Up Plans, 'The Marvels' Reshoots, Reviving Original Avengers and More Issues Revealed https://t.co/9by5jJNncZ pic.twitter.com/e7UuvXFDpr

— Variety (@Variety) November 1, 2023

The report goes on to talk about several issues within Marvel Studios, and one of them mentions The Marvels director Nia DaCosta working on her next film in London while her movie was still in post-production. While some have pointed out that it was regular for a director to start working on other projects around this period of development, DaCosta herself has come out to explain what happened behind-the-scenes.

In an interview with Jake’s Takes, DaCosta says:

“For me, personally, it was literally just that they moved the date of the film four different times, so instead of it being a two-year process, which I was deeply committed to, it became a three-and-a-half-year process. So every time the date moved—they knew the entire time that I had an obligation, a greenlit movie with people who were waiting for me, and I pushed that, and I pushed it again, and then eventually we all knew like, ‘Okay, if this pushes again, I’m not going to able to be in LA to do the rest of this in person.’”

y’all owe her an apology pic.twitter.com/YpJvMS1Qpd

— ‎ ً (@HailEternal) November 6, 2023

Despite DaCosta having to leave for London, she also confirms that she was still attached to the film remotely, and they had figured out a way to get it done while she was doing her work in London. “It really isn’t the dramatic thing that I think people are feeling it is,” says DaCosta.

We don’t know exactly what the reporter had to gain from trashing on the franchise, but this kind of outrage definitely spreads across the internet and the fandom like wildfire. Some are thinking they already setting up DaCosta as a scapegoat in case the movie fails, but hopefully it won’t come to that.

Watch out for The Marvels when it hits cinemas on Nov. 10.

Watch this:

It’s unclear what exactly triggers the teleporting problem, but it does look like it only happens when anyone tries to use their powers. Some think that it would have something to do with Kamala’s cosmic bangle, but the question is how Photon (Teyonah Parris) manages to get herself roped into this problem.

Taking a look at the action though, the stunt work does seem to be very impressive. Not only does the switching give fans an interesting visual, but the camera work and choreography also give a new fresh look at the action; compared to recent Marvel projects which seem to be pleased with just having characters fight in a flat stage with the “Volume” in the background.

Admittedly, some fans are concerned that the movie isn’t generating enough hype. Some think it could have something do with the poor marketing they’ve had for the movie, but some also guess that the problem could stem from needing to watch two Disney+ Marvel shows in order to understand who Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau are.

Hopefully the film manages to get good word-of-mouth when it releases.

Catch The Marvels when they soar into theaters on Nov. 10.

Though it did feel like Larson was eager to be this universe’s version of Wonder Woman, word suggests that she’s actually lost the spark for her Marvel role.

In her recently released book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios (via The Direct), author Joanna Robinson details what Marvel’s plans were after their main stars Chris Evans, Rober Downey Jr., and Scarlett Johansson had bowed out of the franchise. The heads were apparently set to center everything else around Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Captain Marvel, but their choices ended up blowing up in their faces. Robinson writes:

“The future of those Marvel icons was unclear. The departure of franchise anchors like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson had already taken its toll, as had the shocking loss of Chadwick Boseman, but other MCU stalwarts were heading for the exits. The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ cast went on a farewell tour, Brie Larson grew disillusioned, and Marvel tussled with Sony in a custody battle over Tom Holland.”

Anyone who’s chronically online will know that Larson had become a face that anti-woke fans could tout whenever they wanted to say something was wrong with the MCU (or as they call it, the “M-She-U”). With Larson herself having her own online presence, it would be no surprise that she would be affected by so much of the toxicity that was gathering around her.

Now the same kind of storm is gathering around live-action Snow White Rachel Zegler.

For now, Larson is set to return for The Marvels which will have her Captain Marvel teaming up with two new proteges. So far, hype is at a low thanks to some lackluster Marvel projects, but hopefully The Marvels will manage to deliver when it comes out Nov. 10.

As per @MyTimetoShineH, a second season of Ms. Marvel is already in the works. They confirmed this in a reply to a post asking audiences if they preferred a second season of Ms. Marvel or a solo Kate Bishop series spinoff of Hawkeye:

https://twitter.com/MyTimeToShineH/status/1705437463433380010

Nothing official has been confirmed, and the source has been known to miss a couple of scoops from time to time; but based on the fan enthusiasm around Vellani and the overall quality of Ms. Marvel, I wouldn’t be surprised if a second season was in development. After all, the series does confirm that Kamala is the first mutant of the MCU, and they could very much keep pulling on those strings until we have some build up to the X-Men reboot of the MCU.

And don’t even get me started on what Deadpool 3 is planning to do about the mutants being imported over to the main Marvel Studios timeline.

A second season of Ms. Marvel hasn’t been officially announced, but you can catch Kamala Khan geeking out over superheroes in The Marvels when the film comes to theaters on Nov. 10.

Talking to The Playlist, Ms. Marvel co-director Adil El Arbi says that the second season is waiting on the reception of The Marvels when it comes out in November. El Arbi explains:

“We’re waiting for ‘The Marvels,’ so that will decide what the next step will be… So we’re very much looking forward to that. I can’t wait to see it, man. It’s great to see the trailers and to see the whole family back there and Iman Vellani doing great work, so looking forward to that.”

We don’t exactly know where The Marvels is going to end up, but we do know that the first season of Ms. Marvel does set up Kamala’s origin and ends teasing her special connection with Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel.

It’s not clear why the Marvels will find themselves switching places, but fans speculate that it has something to do with Kamala’s bangle that is the source of her powers and could have some kind of cosmic origin.

Hopefully the films set up more solo adventures for Kamala because she definitely is a fun character, and her own side of the MCU also has a great supporting cast. Heck, have her team up with the other youngsters too; how about a Spider-Man cameo or appearance from Squirrel Girl or Gwenpool?

For now, catch the first season of Ms. Marvel now streaming on Disney+.

According to The Hot Mic (via @DiscussingFilm), Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible, The Crown) has been cast as Sue Storm a.k.a. Sue Richards a.k.a. The Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four. So far, nothing official has been announced by Marvel Studios, so it’s best to take this news with a grain of salt.

Earlier in the week, it was reported that Adam Driver had turned down the part of Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, and it’s also said that Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) is being eyed for the part of Sue’s younger brother Johnny Storm a.k.a. The Human Torch. We haven’t gotten any updates on The Thing, but there was a rumor going around a while back that Jason Segel (Shrinking) was going to voice the part, and he was going to appear in She-Hulk—but I guess that didn’t happen.

If Marvel would announce the Fantastic Four, I do have a feeling that they would announce all the actors together—alongside their chief rival Doctor Doom, who Marvel apparently has huge plans for. We don’t know exactly how far into the process they are, but after a mixed bag of a year with Quantumania and Secret Invasion, fans are hoping that they get back to their groove soon.

For now, fans are waiting for The Marvels which is set to release in theaters on Nov. 10. You can also watch out for Kirby in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One now in theaters.

Watch the new trailer for The Marvels down here:

We’ve gotten glimpse of the team together in the previous trailer, but this Marvels  trailer does give us a better handle at the chemistry between Carol, Kamala Khan, and Monica Rambeau.

We also have a better look at the film’s villain played by Zawe Ashton, and she looks to be another Kree fanatic. Guardians of the Galaxy fans will remember her weapon as the one held by Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) back in 2014, and she even has an army of soldiers who also dress like Ronan from that film.

Admittedly, Marvel has kind of been having a mixed run with Phase 5, but there are still some fans who are supportive of every new project that comes out. Let’s just hope Marvels manages to be more engaging than Secret Invasion, because that show has not been getting any buzz as hoped.

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. Together, this unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as “The Marvels.”

Catch The Marvels when it hits cinemas on Nov. 10.

Check this out:

The official description reads:

“In Marvel Studios’ ‘The Marvels,’ 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. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as ‘The Marvels.’”

Based on the synopsis, we can surmise that the Kree are still going to be the main antagonists of this film. We can even see that the character played by Zawe Ashton is holding the same hammer that Ronan the Accuser wields in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.

There’s still the question of how the three have their powers connected, but it’s pretty cool to think we’re going to get a fight scene where they just keep switching with each other throughout the sequence.

With a release date set for November, I imagine we could get our full trailer around May, when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits cinemas.

The Marvels comes to theaters on Nov. 10.

As per Brie Larson’s post, The Marvels has moved from its July 28 release date to November 10. Check this out:

The poster features the three Marvels that will be appearing in the film, namely Captain Marvel (Larson), Photon (Teyonah Parris), and Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani). We don’t have a synopsis for the film yet, but we should suspect the story to continue delving into the cosmic side of things, especially with Ms. Marvel’s bangle which is said to be one of a pair, which is possibly somewhere out in deep space.

The Ms. Marvel finale actually had Captain Marvel appearing in Kamala’s room, and it looks like she was possibly teleported there. I have a feeling that the story could actually have two settings with something happening on Earth, while there’s also another thing going on in space.

So far, it’s Photon/Monica Rambeau that has the most undercooked story of the three. She did have a supporting role in WandaVision, but we haven’t had any updates on her character besides the tease that she could also be a mutant.

Hopefully all three have an interesting arc in The Marvels without anyone having to go back and do their research on Disney+.

Though the finale of Ms. Marvel did confirm Carol’s short-sleeved costume, the shirt does give us a look at Ms. Marvel’s updated outfit, as well as an official superhero costume for Photon (or Spectrum—she has a bunch of different names in the comics).

We had already met a younger Monica in Captain Marvel, and WandaVision confirms that she works for SWORD and has hinted that she’s received her mutant abilities. As for Kamala’s connection, the end of Ms. Marvel implies that she’s somehow teleported locations with Carol, and it could be up to Carol and Monica to find her somewhere in space.

I’ll admit, I was expecting Carol to get the spotlight one more time before they decided to give her a team-up, but maybe incoming director Nia DaCosta has an interesting direction to take the characters. I suspect the movie is going to take place largely in space, but I wouldn’t mind having Carol come back to Earth and see what she’s missed out on.

The Marvels is set to hit theaters July 28, 2023. For now, you can catch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever now screening in theaters.

As shared by her co-star Yasmeen Fletcher on IG, Vellani actually went as Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man for Halloween. Check this out:

While some would think that Vellani would go as Captain Marvel or Ms. Marvel last weekend, I guess she’s kind of had enough time wearing those costumes for the show. It’s actually funny how she put the costume together, complete with paper facial hair. Who knows, maybe Marvel can even use these photos as an in-universe moment where Kamala did go as Tony Stark for a party.

For now, Kamala has a huge role in the MCU, being confirmed as the canon’s first mutant. Of course, we should expect more mutant reveals down the line (like with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Namor), but it would be great if Kamala would be connected to other mutant properties. Though I don’t expect her to be part of the team, it would be neat if she could crossover with the X-Men in a future project.

A great student, an avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, she has a special affinity for superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. But Kamala struggles to fit in at home and at school—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life is easier with super powers, right?

Vellani is set to appear in The Marvels which comes out on July 28, 2023. You can catch the complete season of Ms. Marvel now on Disney+.

According to insider Daniel RPK (via Murphy’s Multiverse), Disney+ has renewed Ms. Marvel for a second season. Though the series was initially described as limited (like Moon Kight), the show does leave a lot of room for Kamala and the other characters around her to grow. After all, I don’t expect characters like Bruno or the rest of Kamala’s family to appear in the Marvels team-up film, so a series continuation would give us a chance to see more of them.

What I loved about the early run of Kamala was the team-ups, and we would find Kamala doing some superheroing with characters like the Inhumans’ pet dog Lockjaw or X-Man Wolverine. We don’t know who Marvel could afford to cross over on her show, but I would be welcome to a Daredevil cameo or maybe someone her age like Spider-Man—it’s just a pitch; I mean, they can just have a double act him out and have Tom Holland just provide his voice like Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian.

Kamala is a superhero fan with an imagination, particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel; Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home, that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s looked up to.

A second season hasn’t been officially announced, but you can check out the complete first season of Ms. Marvel now streaming on Disney+.

“Harrison Ford, I met Harrison Ford. Giancarlo Esposito—Dude, dude—I met everyone. I met Charlie Cox—Everyone. Vincent D’Onofrio, that took me—Jon Favreau, I just, I’m obsessed with him and everything he does, and he gave me a Star Wars—like a Mando token. Dude, I’m having a pretty good day.”

Even before D23, Vellani had made it clear that she does her research  on the source material, and even has some public arguments with Kevin Feige when it comes to the continuity of the franchise. If anything, she’s an excited, geeky, young woman—perfect for a character like Kamala Khan.

For now, Vellani is gearing up for an appearance in The Marvels alongside characters like Captain Marvel and Photon. We don’t know when Marvel Studios is going to give us a look yet, but it’s possible we’ll have to wait until next year, what with Marvel’s packed schedule.

The Marvels is set to hit theaters on July 28, 2023, but you can check out Kamala in Ms. Marvel which has its complete first season now available on Disney+.

Watch Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan get her powers and aspire to be a superhero:

The series pretty much sticks with the character of Kamala who is actually a big fan of superheroes and the like. One big change will be when it comes to Kamala’s powers.

In the comics, Kamala was actually an inhuman who had the ability to shapeshift. In the series, it looks like Kamala is granted powers by her bracelet—which seem to have been given some kind of cosmic origin. If anything, this is likely a reference to the tease that we got in Shang-Chi, where it was revealed that the origin of the Ten Rings was not what they expected.

Instead of shapeshifting powers, Kamala will have the ability to conjure some kind of purple energy that will have its own mass—kind of like how Green Lantern can project anything with his ring. While I thought that Kamala’s comic powers actually add to her personality, some speculate that it was changed because the powers look too close to Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four; who we know is going to make their MCU debut sooner rather than later.

Ms. Marvel debuts on Disney+ on June 8. Kamala will have her big screen appearance when The Marvels hits theaters on Feb. 17, 2023.

Here’s what Larson posted on her Twitter:

See you in a year, Carol. pic.twitter.com/YkFYR6u1mj

— Brie Larson (@brielarson) February 18, 2022

So far, Larson has reprised the Carol Danvers role for Avengers: End game and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. We don’t know exactly Captain Marvel’s place in the MCU right now, but we can assume that she’s still flying around the universe doing superhero things. With Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau easing into their powers though, they’re going to need someone like Carol to help them find their way.

I’ll admit, I kind of wanted to see more of Carol’s solo adventures before she got her team-up movie, but I guess this is the direction Marvel wanted to go. Despite its success in the box office, I always thought that Captain Marvel was a weak MCU entry. I have nothing against Brie Larson, but the way the film is written, Carol Danvers’ as a character doesn’t really have anything to work with emotionally; she barely even budges when it’s revealed that she was actually a human and she’s been brainwashed by the Kree.

Maybe this time, with more characters to work with, Captain Marvel can be given a more meaningful, emotionally-driven arc.

The Marvels is set to hit theaters on Feb. 17, 2023.
