Marvel Studios has confirmed today's report that tickets for The Marvels are set to go on sale this coming Tuesday, and a 30-second teaser has been released to accompany the announcement.
The spot begins with a voice-over from Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury (which has clearly been pieced together from different lines of dialogue), who informs Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) that "we are at war," and that she is once again needed to "save the world."
The threat facing the planet - though we had been led to believe that this sequel would be slightly lower-stakes, so this might turn out to be misdirect - is a Kree revolutionary known as Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton), who clearly has some kind of personal vendetta against Danvers.
This powerful warrior has an entire army at her command, but Captain Marvel will have some fairly formidable backup of her own.
Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau take a backseat in this teaser, though, which is more Captain Marvel-focused. Check it out at the link below, and let us know if you plan on seeing the movie opening weekend in the comments section.
"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.”
The film also stars Zawe Ashton and Park Seo-joon. Nia DaCosta directs, and Kevin Feige is the producer. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Mary Livanos and Matthew Jenkins serve as executive producers. The screenplay is by Megan McDonnell, Nia DaCosta, Elissa Karasik and Zeb Wells.
The Marvels will begin its international rollout on November 8, and was recently granted a China release on November 10, day-and-date with North America. Can the sequel hope to replicate the success of its $1 billion predecessor? In the current box office climate, we'd say it has its work cut out!
