The upcoming MCU movie The Marvels, previously titled Captain Marvel 2, is less than a year away. Although we have three more MCU movies to watch before we see the return of a powerful cosmic superhero Carol Danvers, the main star Brie Larson didn’t forget to remind us about the upcoming sequel to the 2019 original Captain Marvel movie.

Captain Marvel movie was released on International Women’s Day 2019, which is quite symbolic considering this was the first MCU movie centered exclusively on a female superhero. Brie Larson debuted as the titular character, and she reprised the role only a few weeks later in Avengers: Endgame. Following the conclusion of MCU’s Phase 3, the question about the sequel to the original Captain Marvel movie arose.

Captain Marvel 2 was officially announced in December 2020, and three months later it was reported that the movie changed its title to The Marvels. With Brie Larson set to reprise the role, the sequel will also feature Teyonah Parris, who debuted as Monica Rambeau in the Disney+ series WandaVision, and Iman Vellani, who is set to debut later this year as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel in her own Disney+ series before she reprises the role in The Marvels next year.

The International Women’s Day 2022 was yesterday, which also marked the third anniversary of the Captain Marvel movie’s release. In the name of that, Larson shared one fanart on her Twitter account and expressed praise to her co-stars Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani, calling them her sisters.

The Marvels will be directed by Nia DaCosta, from the screenplay written by Megan McDonnell, while Kevin Feige, of course, is the producer of the project. With the three main stars, the movie will also star Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Zawe Ashton in an undisclosed villain role.

The Marvels is set to be released on February 17, 2023.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
