All he needed was a word to change the future of all Marvel movies and streaming programs. Come on, people, come on. Spoiler warning.
SPOILERS FOR MS MARVEL FINAL, “NOT NORMAL”
A word has never been as important in the Marvel film universe as it was uttered at the end of Mrs. Marvel final last night?
In a scene between Kamala and Bruno, her intelligent friend reveals that there is something in her genetic makeup that makes her different from her family: that’s why she was the one who was able to unlock the power of the bracelet, or maybe the bracelet unlocked it. innate powers.
“When I compared you to the rest of your family, something still seemed wrong to me. There’s something different in your genes,” Bruno said gravely. “Like a … mutation.”
What followed was what some people call a “pregnancy break,” letting the involvement really sink. And to really clarify the point, you can listen to an excerpt from the theme song from the nineties X-Men animated series in the background.
Get it? Get it? Kamala is a mutant. As in, a mutant of the X-Men.
As fans know, the word “mutation” is a big deal because it indicates that X-Men will be officially incorporated into the MCU for the first time.
Iman Vellani, leader and self-proclaimed Marvel fan, said in an interview on Marvel’s official website: “They sent me, and only me, the draft and I was immediately scared. I sent an email [Marvel boss] Kevin Feige in capital letters.
“I said, ‘Are you really doing this? Are you sure? I’m very honored!’. I was like calling him via email. I was freaked out. what happens in our program is crazy.
“People will lose their minds. They will lose everything. I made it. It’s really a big deal. “
The move has been seen, but not confirmed, since Disney, owner of Marvel Studios, acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. Previously, the on-screen rights to the X-Men characters were owned by Fox, so they could not be used in MCU movies. or television programs.
The MCU has led to the inclusion of X-Men a couple of times since the 2019 study agreement, once in WandaVision and the other inside Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness.
In WandaVision, fans lost their minds when Evan Peters, who had played the character of Quicksilver in the Fox X-Men movies, appeared in the MCU streaming series as apparently the same character. But it was a blatant misdirection and it turned out to be a refounding of anyone in a role that was not what it seemed.
In Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madnessPatrick Stewart repeated his role as Professor X, but the whole sequence takes place in a different universe than the normal MCU (Earth-616), so there is a strong argument that it is not canonical.
That’s right Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness The scene featured another character, Black Bolt (Anson Mount), who belongs to another race of superpowers called Inhumans. In the comics, Kamala Khan is actually an Inhuman, but it looks like the MCU is taking the character in a different direction.
Elsewhere in the end, they realized all of Kamala’s powers in comics; finally we see it “embiggen”, which in comics is its enlargement and stretching. In the series, he manifests himself as an extension of the organic matter he creates with his powers.
But is it the midpoint of the credits that has really cheered fans up, with a special appearance by Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, or is it?
A Larson cameo was practically a previous conclusion given Kamala’s adoration of the most powerful superhero on the MCU and Mrs. Marvel’s turnover in the next The wonders film, which stars Larson, Vellani, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
In the credit media scene, Kamala is in bed when her bracelet starts to glow and an invisible force throws her into her closet. When she re-emerges, it’s no longer her, but Captain Marvel looking confused at her surroundings, especially the numerous posters and merchandise that resembles hers.
What is not clear is whether Captain Marvel and Kamala have exchanged bodies and the teenager is now out of the world facing the aliens or whether he has transformed into Carol Danvers.
We will find out when The wonders opens July 28, 2023. There are only one year and two weeks left.
