6 Thoughts on The Marvels

The Marvels has arrived in theaters and the writing is on the wall: this one isn’t doing so hot. The critics haven’t cared for it, the box office is very disappointing and it’s not going to be a good ride, probably. But I don’t care about any of that. I very much enjoyed this film and had a good time at the theater!

Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good

I am an unrepentant Marvel fanboy. I have enjoyed pretty much all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe output, with probably Secret Invasion being the only stinker in my opinion. I was prepared for The Marvels to live up to all of the negative hype, but it was a blast! It was funny and entertaining, and well worth a short, breezy watch. I have never missed an MCU movie in the theater and I’m not about to start anytime soon.

Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on The Marvels. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

The Marvels Looks Super Fun!

Comic-Con has delivered a ton of fun trailers so far, and the first one I’m going to post is the new trailer for The Marvels, the next big MCU movie. This is the sequel to Captain Marvel, and it teams her up with Monica Rambeau from Wandavision and Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel. That’s a lot of TV show connection, but considering I have seen all of these movies and shows, I’m excited.

I think this trailer looks super fun. The energy is good, the color palette looks really nice, and the characters are definitely the strongest part. Iman Vellani is gonna kill it as Kamala on the big screen. To say nothing of Teyonah Parris and Brie Larson, who also look great in this trailer. The whole thing looks fun and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.

The Marvels comes to theaters on Nov. 10.

The Marvels Looks Pretty Neat in its First Trailer

Our first look at The Marvels is here! The first trailer/teaser debuted today and it looks to be something of a hoot. Mostly I’m here for Kamala Khan to start interacting with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I’m also here for all of it.

As a teaser, this is a nice look at what we’re going to get in this movie. The premise that the three main characters are switching places when they use their powers is an interesting choice. I don’t know if it works for me quite yet. But if it means putting Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel into weird situations, I’m all for it.

This first trailer looks good and I’m as excited for this movie as I am for any Marvel movie these days — which is very excited. I’m also very excited for Ms. Marvel season 2. Get on that, Marvel!

The Marvels comes to theaters in November.

Behold the Sequel Shazam Family!

Shazam! 2: Fury of the Gods is currently filming, and director David F. Sanberg has decided he’s not going to let set leaks ruin all the big, cool reveals of the new movie. Specifically, the redesigned costumes of the Shazam family! Behold the crew!

As others have pointed out, only the ladies are showing more skin

Everyone looks good! The family was one of the best parts of the first film, so I’m glad to see they’re all coming back. And the costumes look dope. Here’s hoping the sequel is pretty fun!

Shame it won’t come out until June 2023. That’s two whole years away!

Get Hyped for Them There Marvel Movies!

It being a random Monday, Marvel has released a sizzle reel trailer to show off their awesomeness and reveal some upcoming dates for new movies. Obviously this is a ploy to get us all to go back to movie theaters…and it works like a charm!

This sizzle reel also features the first footage from The Eternals, which comes out this November. We’ve also got the first logos for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Marvels, the sequels to Black Panther and Captain Marvel respectively.

So yeah, big freakin’ deal, I’d say! Trailer looks great! Marvel has never skimped on those. I’m excited for all the upcoming movies, and I’m already back in the theaters, so you best believe I’ll be seeing all of these upcoming movies on the big screen.

It’s gonna be a busy couple of months. We’ve got Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Eternals and Spider-Man: Far From Home all coming out in the back half of this year. Of 2021!

And next year, we’ve got Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Marvels!

Then, so far, we’ve got Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for 2023.

Should be a good couple of years!
