The Marvels star Teyonah Parris has revealed that she only found out that her character, Monica Rambeau, shared a scene with Beast in the post-credits when she sat down to watch the movie for the first time.
In the stinger, Monica wakes up in a medical lab after getting trapped in an alternate reality following her battle with Dar-Benn to find her late mother, Maria (Lashana Lynch), by her side. Rambeau is overcome with joy, but Maria - who is actually this world's Binary - has no idea who she is.
As Monica's confusion grows, a familiar voice asks "how's our patient," and a comic-accurate, fully CGI take on Hank McCoy, aka Beast (voiced by X-Men: The Last Stand's Kelsey Grammar), enters the room.
While chatting to ET, Parris explained that she shot the scene in question with an actor in a lab coat, who she assumed would just be playing a "normal doctor." She also confirms that a scene in which Monica chooses her superhero name was filmed, but didn't make the final cut of the movie.
We assume it's Photon (as rumored), but Parris doesn't clarify here in case it's not officially "MCU canon."
"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.”
