"The Marvels," a 2023 American superhero film from Marvel Studios serves as the sequel to "Captain Marvel" (2019) and a continuation of the miniseries "Ms. Marvel" (2022). Directed by Nia DaCosta, who co-wrote the screenplay with Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik, the film features Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, portrayed by Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Iman Vellani, respectively. The plot revolves around these characters teaming up as they begin swapping places with each other every time they use their powers.
A notable feature of the film is its mid-credits scene, where Monica Rambeau awakens in a parallel universe and is greeted by an alternate version of her mother, Maria, and the mutant scientist Hank McCoy. This scene sets the stage for future developments in the MCU and hints at the expansion of the universe with the inclusion of mutants.
