When Captain Marvel was released in 2019, it went on to gross a mighty $1 billion at the worldwide box office. We've been waiting a long time for the sequel, and more merchandise for The Marvels has now found its way online, this time highlighting Brie Larson's Carol Danvers and Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan.
We're starting to get familiar with both costumes, especially as Carol's was first revealed in Ms. Marvel's post-credits scene. That saw the Avenger mysteriously appear on Earth after switching places with the teenager, something we're guessing was caused by those bangles.
They're likely Kree in origin, giving Kamala an unexpected link to her idol (whose powers have ties to that alien race and the Kree Supreme Intelligence). Many fans believe Ms. Marvel could be utilising her newfound abilities through the Nega-Bands, alien artefacts that gave the original Captain Marvel his powers in the comics.
Whether those are connected to Kang the Conqueror - along with The Mandarin's Ten Rings - is another matter altogether.
As for Ms. Marvel's costume, that's definitely undergone some changes since we last saw it, though it still pays homage to the suit her mother created for her. We probably should have expected Kamala to get an upgrade after heading into outer space, though whether this is the hero's permanent new look obviously remains to be seen.
We're guessing the first trailer for The Marvels will be attached to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania next year, though it's definitely interesting that merchandise like this is starting to find its way into stores. Conspicuous by her absence is Teyonah Parris' Spectrum, though we're sure that will change.
The Marvels is set to be released in theaters on July 28, 2023.
