It was during this show that she obtained superpowers and overcame the death of her mother, Maria, at the same time as WandaVision’s lead, Wanda Maximoff, came to terms with all the loss in her own life. Monica was a child and the surrogate niece of Carol in Captain Marvel, and then as an adult, she functioned as a prominent supporting character in 2021’s WandaVision.

Marvel.Ĭarol, of course, starred in her original Captain Marvel movie in 2019 as an amnesiac Kree soldier/former Air Force pilot, and since then has had small to blink-and-you-miss-it appearances in Endgame, 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and the Ms. Seems like standard stuff for a team-up story right? The movie is headlined by the trio of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau/, and Kamala Khan/Ms. With November’s impending release of the Captain Marvel sequel, officially titled The Marvels, this will be the first time since 2019 that an MCU movie features more than two preexisting heroes working as a cooperative to defeat a common enemy. Well, okay, another MCU movie that I feel has all the same ingredients as what made the Avengers movies great. Given that prior to this, Avengers movies were hitting theatres on a consistent every-three-years basis (with Endgame being the welcome exception, trailing 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War by only a single year), this six-year waiting period is considerable.Īnd of course, a global pandemic, a change in Disney leadership, a shifting public perception of these Marvel stories, the introduction of over a dozen new characters to this film franchise, and even *shudder* the notion of superhero fatigue (which I don’t subscribe to - more on that at a later date), have all contributed in their own ways to this abnormally elongated release schedule for the MCU’s most successful franchise.īut fear not – I’m here to present the case that we’re actually much closer to another Avengers movie than you might think. The first of its kind, The Avengers, came out in May of 2012, and this month officially marks four years since the premiere of Avengers: Endgame, which was the fourth and most recent installment in the marquee team-up franchise that definitively put its overarching franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), on the map.īy the time the next one releases, all the way in May of 2025 (assuming a certain lead actor situation is rectified by then…), with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, we’ll have even surpassed the five-year gap that our heroes themselves endured in Endgame.

Show of hands – who here misses the Avengers movies? Every Marvel fan ever? Good.
