On the heels of a new international poster, Marvel Studios has debuted a Chinese TV spot for The Marvels (or, Captain Marvel 2 as it'll be known in the region), and it features a few snippets of new footage.
The teaser begins by taking us back to the events of Carol Danvers' first solo adventure, and her brief appearances in Avengers: Endgame, where she proved to be an integral factor in the final battle with Thanos and his forces.
Going one-on-one with the Mad Titan certainly gave us some indication of just how powerful Captain Marvel can be, but she's going to find herself up against another formidable villain in the upcoming sequel - and this one has a personal score to settle with the cosmic hero.
Good thing Danvers will have some backup in the form of Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan, who are also given some time to shine in the promo.
In a recent interview, director Nia DaCosta admitted to having some reservations about signing on for the movie, and reached out to previous MCU filmmakers to ask their advice.
“Are they going to kill me and destroy my soul? Is Kevin Feige a bad man?” she joked. “And they were like, ‘No, he’s just a good guy who was a nerd.'"
"Sometimes you’d be in a scene and you’d be like, ‘What the hell does any of this shit mean?’ Or an actor’s looking at some crazy thing happening in space, and they’re [actually] looking at a blue X. There were obviously hard days, and days where you’re like, ‘This just isn’t working.’”
"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.
