Marvel Studios’ latest movie “The Marvels” is finally set to hit local theaters next month.
Walt Disney Company Korea confirmed that the much-anticipated superhero film will be released locally on Nov. 8, unveiling the main poster and the final trailer.
Serving as a sequel to the 2019 film “Captain Marvel,” the upcoming film brings togther three iconic female characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ? Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau.
The 2019 action sci-fi film, co-directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, followed former Air Force pilot Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), who becomes one of the most powerful heroes in the universe. Caught in a war between two alien races, she uses her superpowers as Captain Marvel to uncover the truth behind her power and find her true allies.
In the sequel, helmed by Nia DaCosta of 2021's "Candyman" fame, Captain Marvel grapples with the repercussions of her actions. The film will pick up after Captain Marvel defeats her former comrades and takes revenge to reclaim her identity. One day, she is summoned to the home of Kamala Khan, who is also known as teen superhero Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), and realizes there are unintended consequences to the revenge she has taken ― a destabilized universe.
Every time Captain Marvel uses her powers, she finds herself switching places with Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). As their powers become intertwined, the trio forge a unique relationship and form a team to restore balance to the universe.
The film created a huge buzz in Korea during its production when the studio confirmed that actor Park Seo-joon was in the cast. Known for his roles in hit Korean series like "Itaewon Class," Park will make his Hollywood debut in "The Marvels" as he is set to play Prince Yan, Carol Danvers' husband and ally, further amplifying anticipation for the film.
Park became the third major Korean star to join the MCU, after Claudia Kim appeared in 2015's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and Don Lee played Gilgamesh in "Eternals" in 2021.
