A new report explains why the release of The Marvels was recently delayed until this coming November.
Disney gave The Marvels' previously set release date of July 28 to the Haunted Mansion reboot to give the post-production team more time to complete the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, as TheWrap reports, citing studio insiders. This isn't the first delay for the film, a sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel, has experienced since it was initially slated to hit theaters back in July 2022, only to be rescheduled for release in November 2022 and then moved back to February 2023, each time out of caution for surging variants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Marvels director Nia DaCosta recently confirmed a key plot element, namely that two of the heroes in the film, Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), did indeed switch places in the post-credits scene of the first season finale of Disney+'s Ms. Marvel. Additionally, the director explained how the other member of the film's trifecta, Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), adds a humanistic element to the dynamic. This is especially the case since Monica perceives that the former family friend Carol abandoned her late mother, Maria, for decades after gaining powers and becoming a galactic protector. "My biggest thing going into it was making sure I approached these characters as human beings and not necessarily as superheroes," she said.
The Marvels' More Human Drama
DaCosta also shared a similarity between Kamala and Monica, which involves Carol. "While Carol and Monica are having to find their relationship again after all this time apart, we have Ms. Marvel, who idolizes Carol the way that Monica used to when she was younger, so you have these two adults having to reconcile their relationship while this younger person is also having a relationship that mirrors the way Monica and Carol used to be together," remarked DaCosta. "So I find it really interesting, the three of them together, and how they become a little bit of a sisterhood with their own different points of view. It's actually really nice and fun, and very sweet watching them all work together."
Beyond those aspects, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently teased that the Disney+ series-debuted Kamala will end up being the hero who steals the show in The Marvels. He also discussed Kamala's story in the movie and how it echoed Spider-Man, saying, "The great thing about Kamala in her show, and now in this movie, is that she's not unlike Tom Holland's Peter Parker in Civil War. She can't believe she's with these other heroes, and can't believe that she finds herself in these places. And that's fun because we want to be that. I want to be that."
The Marvels is now scheduled to land in theaters on Nov. 10.
