They’re both coming from these interesting places. Ms. Marvel idolizes Captain Marvel but doesn’t really know the true Carol. And then you have Monica, who grew up with her but has a little bit of a resentment because of how much time has passed. So you have these very different projections of who Carol is and Carol is trying to navigate that world, trying to find herself.
Honestly, sign me up. Because while it’ll be fun to see the three very different sets of superpowers working together on the big screen, it sounds like the interpersonal dynamics at play during The Marvels are going to be just as intriguing. Is it July 2023 yet?
