Tickets for The Marvels officially went on sale yesterday, and on the heels of a plethora of new posters and behind-the-scenes featurettes, Marvel Studios has released a new 60-second teaser for Nia DaCosta's upcoming Captain Marvel sequel.
After a recap of the events of the first film and Carol Danvers' other MCU appearances, including her showdown with Thanos from Avengers: Endgame, we see some new footage of the cosmic hero in action in The Marvels as she faces-off against Dar-Benn.
The Kree warrior clearly holds a personal grudge against Captain Marvel, who realizes that the villain is seeking revenge by targetting "the people I care about, and every place I call home." We also learn that Dar-Benn, and likely many of her people, call Danvers "The Annihilator," which obviously suggests that she has been responsible for inflicting a significant amount of destruction on the war-like alien race.
Check out the new "Prepared" spot in the player below.
We recently got confirmation that The Marvels will indeed be the shortest MCU movie yet, clicking in at just 1 hour and 45 minutes with credits. Another report indicated that it would also be one of the most modestly budgeted MCU films ($130 million), but this was later debunked. The space-set superhero flick's actual budget is closer to $220 million.
"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!
