spawned a new spew of hate from those who seem to despise Captain Marvel more than the Kree. On the other hand, though, those MCU fans out there who are actually, y’know, fans of the MCU are even more hyped than they were before for the incoming Brie Larson threequel and are more convinced than ever that it’s going to end Marvel’s rocky 2023 on a much-needed high.
The road to this point has definitely not been easy, what with all the hate, the strikes, Marvel opting out of Comic-Con, and everything else, but with The Marvels potentially have visually stunning and narratively entertaining, maybe we’re in for a win, after all.
And you know who sums up our feelings about this all this perfectly? It just happens to be Paul Rudd, the star of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the film that almost killed Phase Five before it started. How’s that for irony?
Look at us. Hey, look at us. Who would’ve thought? Not me.
The hype is flying higher, further, faster.
Fingers crossed the SAG strike’s over by October so The Marvels cast can do press. Including The Hot Ones, so we can get new timeless memes like this one.
Of course, it is my solemn duty to point out that the Quantumania trailers also had us excited, promising something dark and dramatic, and then we ended up with that M.O.D.O.K.-mooning monstrosity of a movie. Still, The Marvels trailer promises that most of the fun will simply come from the chemistry between the three leads, which is either there or it isn’t, so hopefully this isn’t just another big con and we really are set to end this year of mixed Marvel offerings on a high come Nov. 10.
