One thing has been made clear with the trailers and promotional spots of The Marvels: there are many elements that need to be refreshed before seeing the film. Firstly, The Marvels is a sequel to Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, a film that was released four years ago. Secondly, the movie will be Marvel Studios’ ultimate test of its new formula – meshing the films with the Disney+ TV shows. Sure, everything within the MCU is connected and all the streaming service’s series include characters that have jumped to and from the movies. However, The Marvels, in particular, is the first one to fully rely on the audience having watched Ms. Marvel to get to know Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, Secret Invasion to know what Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and the Skrulls have been up to, and WandaVision to get reintroduced to an older Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and her newly-acquired superpowers. With an already palpable superhero film fatigue, The Marvels is trying to be sold as a fresh experience that will also give enough information on its newcomers to those who didn’t watch the shows. But, will it work?
