The Marvels
Warning : This article contains spoilers for The Marvels .
Summary
One major job with the Avengers in theMCUhas been made even worse because of one shun hero who could n’t be used in Phase 5’sThe Marvels . The sequel to 2019’sCaptain Marvelhit theaters on November 10 , 2023 , and despite adisappointing performance at the box government agency , The Marvelstook huge pace in make grow the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga , and put more focus on Brie Larson , Teyonah Parris , and Iman Vellani ’s charismatic MCU heroes . WhileThe Marvelshelped to extend the overarching plot line of the MCU , however , one behind - the - tantrum reveal about the film ’s yield has uncovered a great effect at Marvel Studios , fueling an already - prominent criticism of the MCU .
The Marvelssaw Larson ’s Carol Danvers , a.k.a . Captain Marvel , squad up with new MCU heroes Parris ' Monica Rambeau and Vellani ’s Kamala Khan , a.k.a . Ms. Marvel , after their light - base abilities were entangled byZawe Ashton ’s Kree villain Dar - Benn . Shockingly , this was the MCU ’s biggest crossover effect since 2019’sAvengers : Endgame , which saw most of the enfranchisement ’s heroes derive together to battle the excited Titan Thanos . In theatre director Nia DaCosta ’s original plan forThe Marvels , this crossover theme was going to be pushed even further . However , Marvel Studios banned one fresh MCU hoagy from appear in the 2023 film , even though this could have helped to work a major percentage point of criticism .
The Marvels tells a middling straight narrative by MCU Multiverse Saga standards , but its exciting termination has big implications for the wide MCU .
Adam Warlock Was Blocked From Appearing In The Marvels
Speaking to Jake Hamilton in an episode ofJake ’s Takes , director Nia DaCosta reveal that Adam Warlock was boast in her original pitch forThe Marvels . English actorWill Poulter debuted as Adam Warlockin 2023’sGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , insert as a baby of the Sovereign who had been tasked with acquiring Rocket Raccoon for Chukwudi Iwuji ’s sinister High Evolutionary . It ’s assumed thatThe Marvelswould have told a different version of Adam Warlock ’s story , which prompted Marvel Studios to barricade the case from appearingalongside the three distaff lead , but his appearance may have solved a major problem with the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga .
Interestingly , one of the first things I pitched way back when was having Adam Warlock and time change of location in the motion-picture show , but Adam was gon na be in Guardians 3 , and I opine they have enough prison term travelling on Loki , so we did n’t do that , but we have some fun stuff in that realm in the movie anyway .
MCU’s Multiverse Saga Has Lacked Interconnectivity
One of thebiggest critique of the MCU ’s Multiverse Sagahas been the lack of interconnectivity between project . After the last of the Infinity Saga , Marvel Studios separate out into make long - form medium for Disney+ , which , while expanding the world of the MCU importantly , signify that it was hard for projects to interweave and inform each other . This was a trouble that the Infinity Saga rarely lose with , as heroes would cameo in others ' solo undertaking consistently , including Bruce Banner inIron human 3 , Steve Rogers inSpider - Man : Homecoming , and Doctor Strange inThor : Ragnarok , so surely Adam Warlock could have done the same inThe Marvels .
There have been some Multiverse Saga cameos , such as Doctor Strange inSpider - Man : No Way Home , the Guardians of the Galaxy inThor : Love and Thunder , and Yelena Belova inHawkeye . However , the lack of this has contributed to the MCU feeling disjointed . 2023’sSecret Invasionwas billed as a major crossover case , but this did n’t happen , andSecret Invasion’sevents were practically ignored inThe Marvels , despite Samuel L. Jackson ’s return as Nick Fury . Adam Warlock ’s appearance inThe Marvelscould have created a joining betweenThe MarvelsandGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , another cosmic dangerous undertaking , which could have helped to facilitate this issue .
Can Marvel Studios Still Solve This Multiverse Saga Issue?
Even though Marvel Studios perhaps missed the thoroughgoing opportunity to create a strong connection between the MCU ’s cosmic tarradiddle with Adam Warlock ’s intimacy inThe Marvels , the studio apartment ’s interconnectivity problems can still be clear in the Multiverse Saga . Anew Avengers team will be formingfor the MCU ’s Phase 6 , set to take part inAvengers : The Kang DynastyandSecret Wars , which will surely make sentiency of several hero and storylines from Phases 4 and 5 . Prior to that,2025’sThunderboltswill also feature the crossover of several MCU antihero , link up capable - ended plot together with a much - anticipate team - up , and featuring several sub inclose in the Multiverse Saga .
The Marvelsitself also teased the everlasting way for former MCU plot line to interweave , as Kamala Khan approached Hailee Steinfeld ’s Kate Bishop in the film ’s final consequence , hinting at the formation of theMCU ’s Young Avengers . Numerous untried superheroes have been introduced throughout Phase 4 and 5 ’s disjoined task , so merge these individuals in a sinewy novel squad would assist to make common sense of previously disconnected plot line . WhileThe Marvelsmay have razz the Young Avengers , however , there has been no tidings on when this team might make its official MCU debut , so this problem could persist for a while longer .
