The Marvels, a sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel, is directed Nia DaCosta. It will release in the cinemas on July 28, 2023.
DaCosta had earlier opened up about bringing three strong women characters together. She told Collider, “It’s interesting, and something we thought about and worked through a lot, which was how do we get each of these really big, exciting heroes space in a two-hour film? A lot of what we’ve been thinking about is what part of the journey do we need to see for each of them? How do we honour the part of the story they’re at in terms of the canon, while also within our story making them equal?”
