Kevin Feige Shares His Excitement For THE MARVELS and Says Ms. Marvel Steals The Show
If you were a fan of Marvel’s Ms. Marvel series, you’re going to be happy to hear what Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had to say about the upcoming film The Marvels. Feige is very excited about the movie and he says that Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan steals the show!
During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige said: "There's something immensely powerful about seeing Monica & Kamala & Carol together in a frame. It's chill-inducing. They're so great together.” He went on to add:
"Kamala Khan, for instance, is a great new character in the pantheon. I'm very proud of the Ms. Marvel show. I also know — and this is a spoiler — she essentially steals The Marvels, which is coming out [July 28]. It makes me excited that people will, I hope, see that movie and then go back and revisit those shows on Disney+."
Brie Larson will return to the role of Carol Danvers in the movie and she will be joined by Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. The Ms. Marvel series got a lot of mixed reactions from fans. I had some issues with it, mostly in regards to the story and how the character was handled, because the way it played out in the comics was so much more engaging and interesting. But, I did enjoy Vellani in the role of Kamala Khan, she was a lot of fun to watch and it will be great to see her back in action.
Feige went on to say: "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."
I just hope the script and story for The Marvels end up being really good! It certainly sounds like Vellani’s Ms. Marvel has the opportunity to shine in it.
Nia DaCosta is directing the movie from a script by written by Megan McDonnell. It’s been rumored that the movie will be heavily inspired by the Secret Invasion comic book storyline. This means there’s a good chance that will tie into Marvel’s Secret Invasion Disney+ series. The movie is also said to “include many important MCU characters,” with the film being described as a "mini-Avengers film."
