"Memories?"
"The shittier, the better."

First Trailer for THE MARVELS Teases a Marvel Team-Up and Baby Flerkens

 
They're not a team. Not yet, anyway.

Marvel Studios has released the first teaser trailer for The Marvels, the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel to the 2019 movie Captain Marvel, featuring Brie Larson's Carol Danvers joining forces with other Marvel superheroes Photon and Ms. Marvel.

In The Marvels, following an investigation into a wormhole linked to the Kree, Carol Danvers' powers become entangled with those of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), with the trio swapping places with each other every time they use their powers, forcing them to team up to determine why.

The 2-minute teaser opens with the S.A.B.E.R. space station in orbit around Earth, with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) radioing Monica and asking, "Captain Rambeau...what the hell are you doing?"

"Entering the jump point perimeter," Monica radios back through her spacesuit as she investigates a mysterious wormhole nearby. "I'm gonna get you some readings, Fury."

The conversation between the two quickly becomes distorted as Monica approaches the wormhole. She begins to use her powers acquired during the character's debut in the WandaVision TV series and is abruptly bounced backwards away from the wormhole.

However, it turns out that Kamala Khan has suddenly swapped places with Monica inside her spacesuit. Understandably panicked, Kamala starts crying "Oh, my God!" over and over as she somersaults through space back toward the S.A.B.E.R. station.

Fury sees Kamala coming towards his window aboard the station, wondering what happened to Captain Rambeau. Kamala, recognizing Fury, waves "Hi" to him and asks, "Is this an Avengers test?" We then hear a voiceover from Fury asking, "Where's Captain Rambeau?"

As the classic rap song "Intergalactic" from Beastie Boys begins to play, Monica crash lands on a moon somewhere and is immediately attacked by a group of Kree warriors. Monica defensively uses her powers and...

We cut to the post-credits scene from the final episode of Ms. Marvel Season One, where Captain Marvel unexpectedly materializes into Kamala's bedroom, looks around at Kamala's fangirl worship of her, and mutters, "What the...?!"

Fury and Monica show up at Kamala's parents' home, where Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur) opens the front door. "We're looking for Kamala Khan," says Nick.

Kamala rushes over and gasps excitedly, "Did I get in?"

Sitting down in the Khan's living room, which looks damaged from an unseen fight, Monica remaks, "Okay, so our powers are entangled. I can manipulate light energy and you..."

"I can totally show you!" exclaims Kamala, only for Fury and Monica to quickly tell her no. It's too late, though, as Kamala snaps her finger and disappear, only for Captain Marvel to suddenly replace her and crash into the Khans' dining table. "Aaaagh! Not again!" exclaims an exasperated Carol before turning around and awkwardly saying hi.

"Where is our daughter?" asks Muneeba Khan (Zenobia Shroff).

"Wherever you were," explains Monica as she looks over at Carol.

Ms. Marvel materializes on a spaceship somewhere, landing right next to Goose, Captain Marvel's pet Flerken (who resembles a cat). Seeing two approaching alien warriors, Goose opens her mouth, unleashing her tentacles and devouring the attackers right in front of Kamala, who understandably freaks.

In another scene, Carol, Monica and Kamala head into space, with Carol piloting the ship. They arrive on some alien planet and are shown engaging in fights and a strange dance number.

A bunch of fleeting images follow, including Monica catching someone in mid-air, Nick Fury ordering "Shields up!", Park Seo-joon's mysterious character, a litter of baby Flerkens heading down a set of stairs, Zawe Ashton as Kree warrior Dar-Benn wielding an Accuser hammer, and a training session with Captain Marvel, Photon and Ms. Marvel attacking one another.

In the final scene, Kamala asks, "We're a team?"

"Oh, no, no, no," replies Monica quickly. "We're not a team."

"We're not a team," confirms Carol.

Kamala, regardless, fangirls at the idea with excitement.

If you want to check out the trailer for The Marvels, you can view it below thanks to the official Marvel Entertainment account on YouTube...

The Marvels is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 10, 2023.

Skyhook, Superman's mind palace crumbling around him, Lois skipping out on her chemo appointments to go investigate Bruno Mannheim with Chrissy, Lois endangering Chrissy's life because she's an obsessive workaholic, Sam blaming Clark for Lois missing her chemo appointments, wondering where Intergang is getting their high-tech weapons, wondering if Jon will be experimented upon next by Intergang to give him superpowers, Lana shutting down Kyle's attempt to find out more about her relationship with John Henry, Lana slapping her daughter Sarah in the face, wondering if Sarah is going to leave home and move in with Kyle, Candice becoming a waitress instead of dealing drugs, Jon confronting Candice about her white trash dad stealing his truck, Emmitt Pergande walking right out of the movie Deliverance, wondering what supermodel Emmitt hooked up with make Candice, the Six Degrees of Intergang, our plea for Jon to let Candice the Former Drug-Peddling Hussy go and move on to someone else, John Henry being pissy that Nat is offering her mom's watch as a group gift to support Lois, Wonder Man casting Demetrius Grosse as the Grim Reaper, some Fandom Zone Fanmail from Jesse Jackson, wondering if we're talking the next episode of Superman & Lois or The Flash next, and more!

"How could you possibly understand that?"
"Because I’m facing something uncontrollable, too. I just found out I have cancer, and it’s aggressive, and all day I’ve been trying to hang on to hope, but it’s really hard because I’m really scared.
