In a spectacular finish, “The Marvels” not only brings back the beloved Captain Marvel a.k.a. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), but also introduces us to the cinematic debut of Ms. Marvel a.k.a. Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and promotes Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) to the superhero league. Together, they form an invincible trio, saving the world from the grasps of Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton), a Kree alien with an insatiable lust for planetary resources.
A Classic Marvel Move: Teasing the Future
Marvel Studios, known for their strategic teasers, doesn’t disappoint with “The Marvels.” The film not only provides a wholesome narrative but also leaves breadcrumbs for die-hard fans, hinting at the inclusion of a celebrated superhero team.
As the movie wraps up, we witness our heroes fixing the chaotic aftermath caused by Dar-Benn. The resolution comes with a price as Monica, while closing a wormhole, finds herself in an alternate universe, separated from her comrades, Carol and Kamala.
An Encounter with the Past, and a Nod to the Future
In the post-credits scene, Monica is seen in a medical unit, next to a woman resembling her deceased mother, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch). Confusion ensues as the woman doesn’t recognize Monica. This encounter is interrupted by Beast (Hank McCoy), played by Kelsey Grammer, who informs Monica of her situation and the involvement of Charles Xavier, leading to the revelation that she’s in a parallel timeline.
The Implications of The Marvels’ Post-Credits Scene
This scene is pivotal as it hints at the integration of the X-Men into the MCU. With the X-Men’s existence in a parallel universe and Monica’s presence there, we anticipate an exciting narrative that might see some X-Men joining the primary timeline.
The X-Men and MCU: A Multiverse of Possibilities
Following the appearance of Professor X in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” the potential for multiple realities within the MCU where X-Men exist becomes evident. This introduces the fascinating possibility that variations of the X-Men could already be lurking in the primary MCU timeline.
The Binary Conundrum: A Twist in the Marvel Tapestry
The scene also teases the character of Binary, historically linked to Carol Danvers, yet presented in a manner that leaves us questioning the true identity of the Maria Rambeau look-alike.
Fan Theories and Marvel’s Master Plan
The introduction of Binary and the reprisal of X-Men characters is a strategic move by Marvel, especially when the MCU could benefit from a fresh infusion of excitement and fan-driven speculation.
The Awaited Reunion and Its Impact on the MCU
As for when and how this interdimensional quandary will be resolved, it is a tale yet to be told. The reunion of Monica with Carol and Kamala, and the role of the X-Men in the grand scheme of the MCU, remains one of the most anticipated developments in the superhero franchise.
