When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, Carol's powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol's estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe.
A genuinely mixed response defines The Marvels: critics who warmed to it pointed to Iman Vellani's scene-stealing energy, the lead trio's chemistry, and Nia DaCosta's nimble direction, while detractors found the story cluttered and tonally erratic, with some placing it among the weaker entries in the MCU. The film's bright spots — particularly its musical sequences and Vellani — were almost universally acknowledged even in negative reviews.
