The Marvels
Year:
2023
Directed by: Nia DaCosta
Written by: Nia DaCosta, Megan McDonnell, Elissa Karasik
Based on: Marvel Comics
Starring: Brie Larson (Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel), Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau), Iman Vellani (Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel), Zawe Ashton (Dar-Benn), Gary Lewis (Emperor Dro’ge), Park Seo-joon (Prince Yan), Zenobia Shroff (Muneeba Khan), Mohan Kapur (Yusuf Khan), Saagar Shaikh (Aamir Khan), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury)
Release dates: November 7, 2023 (Las Vegas); November 10, 2023 (United States)

Plot: Carol Danvers destroys the Supreme Intelligence, the artificial intelligence that leads the Kree empire. This leads to a civil war on planet Hala, the Kree home world, rendering the planet barren as it loses its air, water, and sunlight over the next 30 years. The Kree come to know Danvers as “the Annihilator”.

The Kree’s new leader Dar-Benn discovers one of the two legendary Quantum Bands, which were previously used to create a network that allows fast travel across space. She uses the Band to forcibly open a new jump point that connects to the network. The resulting anomaly impacts the entire network, including a jump point near Earth’s S.A.B.E.R. space station run by Nick Fury. Captain Monica Rambeau investigates the jump point near S.A.B.E.R. while Danvers investigates the new one that Dar-Benn opened. When they touch their respective jump points, Rambeau is transported to Danvers’s location, Kamala Khan—who has the other Quantum Band on Earth—is transported to Rambeau’s location, and Danvers is transported to Kamala’s house. The three use their different light-based powers to fight off Kree enemies, leaving Kamala’s home destroyed.

After the trio return to their original places, Fury and Rambeau visit Kamala on Earth. Rambeau surmises that their light-based powers are linked through quantum entanglement and that they switch places when any of the three use their powers simultaneously. They join up at a Skrull refugee colony on planet Tarnax, which Danvers helped found and where a peace treaty is being negotiated with the Kree. When talks break down, Dar-Benn rips open another jump point which siphons the atmosphere from Tarnax to restore breathable air to Hala. After a hasty effort to evacuate the colony, Danvers, Rambeau, and Kamala form a team that Kamala names “the Marvels”. Danvers explains that Dar-Benn’s repeated rupturing of jump points is causing instability in the network and endangering the entire universe. They deduce that Dar-Benn is targeting planets that are meaningful to Danvers, whom Dar-Benn blames for the desolation of Hala.

The Marvels travel to the water planet Aladna—where people communicate in song—and warn Prince Yan, Danvers’s husband through a diplomatic act. Dar-Benn arrives and tears open a jump point, drawing the planet’s water to Hala. Her final plan is to use the energy from Earth’s sun to restore that of Hala’s sun. On S.A.B.E.R., Goose—Danvers’s cat-like pet Flerken—gives birth to a litter of kittens that can temporarily consume people, which Fury uses to evacuate the station’s personnel. Dar-Benn steals Kamala’s Band and attempts to use both Bands, but this destroys Dar-Benn, ends the Marvels’ entanglement, and leaves behind a rupture between realities. Kamala reclaims the Bands and joins Danvers to energize Rambeau, allowing her to close the rupture but stranding her on the other side. Kamala returns to Earth and Danvers uses her power to restore Hala’s sun.

Kamala’s family helps Danvers move into Rambeau’s house. Kamala’s short-lived team-up with Danvers and Rambeau inspires her to seek out other young heroes and form a new group, starting with Kate Bishop. In a mid-credits scene, Rambeau awakes in a parallel universe where she is greeted by Binary—an alternate version of her mother Maria—and the mutant scientist Hank McCoy.

You stole me from my home, my family, my friends.

Lieutenant Trouble.

Tell the Supreme Intelligence that I’m coming to end it.

How are you doing?

What do you know about the surge in the jump point system a few hours ago?

CAROL: I didn’t notice anything unusual.

I’ll take a look now.

It rattled the whole system.

We’re trying to get a handle on what happened.

The entire network was affected?

Yeah. End to end.

Thankfully, our neural network team was able to trace the origin back to MB-418.

You’re in the neighborhood, right?

Yeah.

Can you check it out?

I’m on it. Appreciate you.

Monica and her team will send more intel as they acquire it.

Monica? Wha… What’s she doing there?

I thought that she was on Earth.

Is she okay?

Yeah.

And she’s not that little kid you remember.

♫ [DREAMY MUSIC PLAYING]

So, do we think that we can finish this before dinner?

TALIA: Yeah. I don’t think we’re gonna fix it in time to get a reading on the jump point.

But I do know someone with superpowers who could.

[PLAYFULLY] Ooh.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Fine. I’ll go.

You guys head in and check the status of the network.

We’ve gotta find this damage and see if we can reverse it.

Hello?

[GOOSE MEOWS]

Was that Monica?

Aunt Carol?

I, uh… I don’t think I’m in the best… [LINE BREAKING UP] …position to… I don’t know… I don’t want… I don’t wanna… Look… I don’t wanna talk to her like this.

Not after all this time.

FURY: You know, eventually you’re gonna have to talk to her.

MONICA: I know. I know, but… let’s save the family reunions till I’m back inside.

[ELECTRICITY SURGING]

I think I found the source of the surge.

What are you seeing?

It’s a jump point, but it’s not closing. Like… it’s stuck.

FURY: Danvers.

♫ [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

FURY: Now, hold on. Do not go in swinging.

This is a peace and reconciliation tour.

Fury. I got this. Carol… MONICA: So, I switched with someone named Kamala Khan?

Yeah. She seemed to be as confused as you are.

Well, there’s nothing in her power-set about teleportation.

Enough about her.

I wanna know what happened to you on MB-418.

MONICA: Yes, sir. Uh…

Let me preface this by saying I’m not really sure. But…

I did not break my closet door, okay?

I was in space.

Oh, so it broke itself?

No, no, no, no, no. See, I disappeared.

So maybe Captain Marvel broke it.

What?

Yes.

Your friend, Captain Marvel.

She was walking up and down our living room, and now you come back, waltzing in with no apologies.

I’m sorry, Captain Marvel was in our house?

Is Captain Marvel pressuring you in any way?

Look, I understand that she’s an important figure and all that, but you don’t have to do as she says.

AAMIR: No, no, they’re clearly working together.

Look at her face. Look at her smile.

YUSUF: Aamir, stop it.

AAMIR: She’s being super secretive as always.

YUSUF: Aamir, stop picking on your sister.

Look at her.

YUSUF: Muneeba.

Kamala, are you lying again?

[SPEAKS URDU]

AAMIR: Just tell me if you’re involved in all…

YUSUF: My daughter has said she’s not lying.

Kamala.

AAMIR: Looks like she’s having

so much fun.

Muneeba…

She’s bad at keeping secrets.

[DEVICE TRILLS]

This is not what we agreed, Dar-Benn.

Supremor Dar-Benn.

The Skrull… have been scattered to every corner of the universe.

Made refugees wherever we go, and still, we came into these negotiations in good faith.

I hear you, Dro’ge.

I, perhaps more than anyone, understand what you and your people have been through.

After my predecessor was destroyed, heretics rose up to fill the void.

The Civil War has polluted our skies.

My people cannot breathe.

Our sun is dying.

Hala is out of time.

I hope we can rebuild together.

So much so that I’m willing to put our ancient animosities behind us.

And give you a chance to protect your people.

To stop running.

The Skrull will take their rightful place in the Kree Empire.

And I will aid in their relocation.

FEMALE SKRULL: Relocation? What?

[SKRULLS MURMURING]

What is the meaning of this?

What the hell is going on?

Yes, what the hell is going on?

I was on some freaky spaceship and then I teleported here.

I don’t know if that’s my new power.

And then this freaking cat ate a man.

How can a cat eat a man, Kamala?

I don’t know. It has tentacles

and it ate a man.

What tentacles, Kamala?

I don’t know.

Where are the tentacles?

It comes out of his mouth, and they’re…

[SNARLS]

[SCREAMS] Oh, my God!

Oh!

Oh, no, no, no, no.

K-Kamala, who are they?

Please run.

[ALL SCREAMING]

FURY: How did you get here, and how’re you involved in this?

The Kree jury-rigged a wormhole on MB-418.

You mean like a jump point?

I don’t know. But, I touched it and then I…

Why’d you do that?

Because it was glowing and mysterious.

Okay, new rule, no more touching shit.

Especially glowing, mysterious shit.

Okay, I’m feeling a lot of negative energy from you and I don’t like it. That’s not the point.

The point is, is that it was siphoning off the atmosphere.

And it did this!

Scissors beat paper.

Fury! There was, like, energy that went around my hand.

Focus.

Okay, maybe if I do this.

Strong theory.

TY-RONE: Our tests keep generating the same result.

With each new jump point, this band becomes more unstable.

I strongly suggest we wait for the second band.

We’re looking for Kamala Khan.

Is this the new iPad? I haven’t seen it yet.

[SCOFFS] They wish!

OFFICER: All right. Come on, let’s go.

KAMALA: I know.

Wait, if this is all top secret information,

why is it on a clear case?

Uh, well…

[KAMALA CHUCKLES]

Just swipe it a little bit.

Whoa, whoa. Hi. Okay.

Can you believe it?

They have intel on me.

On me!

I am intel.

FURY: [SOFTLY] Look at you!

Hey, what does, um, S.A.B.E.R. stand for?

Uh, Strategic Aerospace Biophysics and Exolinguistic Response.

[WHISPERS] That’s classified.

Sorry.

“Hard Light powers,” yes.

“Noor…”

Okay, but why do you have intel on her?

Is there some sort of surveillance on us?

“Surveillance” is a strong word.

Well, ma’am, your daughter is the hero that saved Jersey City.

So, of course we would have intel on someone like her.

And you’re also electromagnetically altered.

[FURY CLICKS TONGUE]

YUSUF: What does that mean?

[GOOSE PURRS]

MONICA: Oh, it just means that we both have light-based powers.

What’s your… What’s your code name?

Oh, I don’t have a code name. [LAUGHS]

We’ll workshop it.

No, thank you.

Aunt Carol… Mmm.

Captain Marvel also has light-based powers.

It’s probably not a coincidence.

Not to mention the two of you came into direct contact with some malfunctioning jump points.

I still cannot believe that Captain Marvel was here and I didn’t even get to meet her.

You know, we’re supposed to be all, like, “twinsies!” you know.

We have the same name. I would obviously, then…

I don’t know, I would just give her the letter that I wrote for her and we would go out for lunch, and then it would just…

D-Did you say “Aunt Carol?”

[SMACKS LIPS] I said that Captain Marvel can absorb light energy.

I can see it.

And you, you can turn light into physical matter. [CHUCKLES]

Which I have never heard of.

But my working theory…

I could totally show you.

FURY AND MONICA: Whoa! No!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

CAROL: What… [GRUNTING]

Hi.

Hi.

YUSUF: Nah, they don’t seem related.

[SPEAKS URDU]

Whatever, Yusuf.

Families are complicated.

YUSUF: Hmm.

Uh, Monica, you wanna fill Carol in on your working theory?

Uh, yeah. Um…

Hi, Captain Marvel.

It is so good to see you, Lieutenant Trouble.

You too.

And it’s Captain Rambeau now.

Right. Sorry.

So, what’s new?

Where’s my sister?

Yeah.

I’m thinking that our joint exposure to these unsteady jump points and our susceptibility to electromagnetic energy has temporarily entangled our world-lines.

Yeah, that, right there.

YUSUF: Uh…

Entanglement.

Our light powers are entangled.

So, we switch places whenever we use them at the same time.

Which would mean Kamala…

When did you get powers?

I walked through a radiation shielding barrier of a witch hex and now I can manipulate and see all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I’m very happy for you.

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

[YUSUF MUTTERS QUIETLY]

Where’s our daughter?

Yes, please. Where is Kamala?

Wherever you were.

Where were you?

Who’s Kamala?

What are you doing?

I’m trying to switch. Why isn’t it working

[MONICA EXHALES]

Wow.

So you can do that because you walked through a witch hex?

Yep.

When I got blipped back, they weren’t sending us to space anymore.

Grounded us to investigate earthbound anomalies.

That must have been hard.

Your mom told me that you always dreamed of going to space.

That you had something to prove.

You said you’d be back before I knew it.

What?

When you left, you said you’d be back before I knew it.

I meant what I said. I just, I didn’t… know what I was… getting myself into.

I-I didn’t know how to explain to a little girl that…

A little girl that hung on your every word.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[BREATH SHUDDERING]

If you knew…

I was going to come back.

I just…

There was people that needed me.

We needed you, Carol.

[SIGHS]

CAROL: Hey.

[GASPS] I hope you don’t mind.

I didn’t have any other clothes.

CAROL: It’s totally fine.

Looks good on you.

I, um…

I’m really sorry for the way I spoke to you.

Thank you.

I know that this situation isn’t ideal, but it is actually nice… having people on board again.

It gets pretty lonely out here.

Anytime you need company, I will be there.

I will drop everything. I will…

I will drop high school.

Don’t do that.

But can we start again?

Hi, I’m Carol Danvers.

I am Kamala Khan.

But when I’m fighting crime on the streets of Jersey City, I go by Ms. Marvel, and I hope that’s okay, like, copyright-wise. Because, honestly, I never thought I’d ever get to meet you.

But now that it’s happening and we’re, like, touching each other… I’ve realized

I should have asked permission.

So…

Twinsies.

Okay. All right. [CHUCKLES]

Here’s what we’re gonna do.

Captain Marvel.

You need to stop calling me that.

I used to change your diapers.

Oh, that was once.

And then I was told you proceeded to vomit everywhere.

First of all, it’s my ship, so I make the game plan.

Um, sorry, when’s the last time you led a team?

As early as l-last week.

Goose doesn’t count.

Please. You try giving Goose orders.

Oh, my God, we’re a team?

CAROL: We’re not. We’re not a team.

Oh, no, no, no, we’re not a team.

[GASPS] I, Kamala Khan of Jersey City, am on a team with Captain Marvel and Captain Monica Rambeau, who from this point onwards will now be known as…

Professor Marvel.

CAROL: Oh!

Professor Marvel.

No. No, no. She… [CHUCKLES] She will not.

But thank you.

The Marvels.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, team, I’ve been trying to tell you, I think I know how she’s making the weird jump points.

She has one of these.

It’s my nani’s bangle.

It started glowing really weird-ly when Dar-Benn opened that first jump point.

Also, it once traveled me through space and time, so that’s probably related.

What you’re describing is a Quantum Band.

I mean, I-I knew there were two of these.

I just did not expect the other one to be in space.

They’re a pair? H-How do you have a Quantum Band?

Okay. W-What is a Quantum Band?

A myth. Or I thought it was a myth.

It’s an ancient artifact.

♫ [INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING]

So this is what Dar-Benn found on MB-418.

And then her and Kamala just happened to stumble into each other?

I mean, what are the chances?

“What you seek is seeking you.”

It’s inscribed on the bangle.

If the Kree legends are true, the Quantum Bands were used to create every jump point in the universe.

Teleportation network.

Two Quantum Bands working in unison to connect the galaxy.

So that would explain our switch-y entanglement situation.

Yeah, yeah, but Dar-Benn only has one.

She must be overloading it with the energy from her space hammer thingy.

It’s called the Universal Weapon.

Oh, really? I was gonna call it Cosmi-Rod.

Either way, she’s using it to force unstable jump points into the grid.

We have got to get to her before she makes another one.

She had star charts and maps on the screens on her ship.

Okay. To where?

To the stars?

Okay.

It’s fine. Got a plan.

We will use this.

KAMALA: Is that…?

A Skrull torture device.

And, wait, we put it on our heads?

Yes, it’s fine. You use it to access memories.

I’ve been using it to… regain the memories that the Kree took from me.

Still?

Yeah.

But, you know, it has a lot of other uses.

[DEVICE TRILLS]

It’s safe.

You might wanna get comfortable.

[DEVICES TRILL]

[DEVICES CHIME]

KAMALA: Whoa! This is weird.

MONICA: Wait. Go back.

Her band absorbs your energy and redirects it.

I-It’s like you gave her power to use against you.

CAROL: Kamala?

KAMALA: Hmm… What about this?

MONICA: There! Those coordinates.

Can you read that?

CAROL: Yes.

The Magellanic Galaxy.

[YOUNG MONICA GIGGLES]

All right, the pilot seat’s all you.

KAMALA: Is that you, Monica? You’re so cute-ah!

CAROL: No, wait.

MONICA: Carol, what are you doing?

CAROL: Why’d you ask me to come, Maria?

MONICA: Mom.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

The cancer’s back.

So, I need you to take care of Goose.

No.

What do you mean “no?”

No, I mean, you beat it once. You’ll beat it again.

Carol…

I’m not taking the cat.

It’s not a cat.

It should’ve been you that day.

That stupid race to the hangar.

I never wanted to be Captain Marvel.

Captain Rambeau suits me just fine.

And it’s just until Monica gets back.

She blipped.

MONICA: Carol, I don’t wanna relive this.

CAROL: I’m sorry.

[DISTORTED BLAST]

MONICA: Stop now, please, Carol!

Remember why you’re out there.

I’m looking for a patient in room 104.

NURSE: I don’t know.

I don’t know what to tell you.

And remember to come home.

DR. HARLEY: Your mom, she died, honey.

No. No, no, no! [WINCES]

[ALL PANTING]

Never do that again.

I’m sorry. It wasn’t on purpose.

Wait, so your mom…

Passed away while I was blipped.

And when I came back, no one was there.

Okay.

♫ [SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHUCKLES] Thank you.

She seemed really cool. I’m sorry.

She was.

She was the best.

Well, we have to make do with what we know right now.

MONICA: Here… is what we do know.

The Universal Neural Teleportation Network is a system of wormholes through the space-time continuum aka, jump points, which allows us to hop between different planetary systems.

Basically, it stretches and reconfigures space without rupturing the continuum.

Like fracking, the more holes you drill, the more destabilized the shale becomes, and then… earthquake.

Bottom line, if she keeps creating these jump points, it’s gonna get really bad, really fast.

Question is, what does she want?

Tarnax used to be occupied by the Kree, so maybe the attack was a warning?

So, she could be after another former colony?

Is there a former Kree colony in the Magellanic?

CAROL: At one point, the Kree colonized 25% of the galaxy, so…

If all she wanted was to destroy Tarnax, why not bring in an army or use a bomb or something?

Why… why a jump point?

You’re right. Jump points aren’t weapons, they’re means of transportation.

Every jump point has two sides, so if Tarnax’s atmosphere was siphoned away,

it had to go somewhere, or…

Hala.

The Kree Civil War basically bankrupted Hala of its natural resources.

The air is barely breathable,

they’re suffering from a drought.

KAMALA: A drought?

So, she could be after water next.

Okay. Where in the Magellanic can we find…

Aladna.

Oceans cover 99.63% of the planet.

That is a very specific stat. You’ve been there.

Well…

Uh… uh, yeah.

She said that really weird.

Yeah. Why are you being weird?

Okay.

Consensus on Aladna.

[SIGHS]

Aye.

MONICA: Yeah, I say we do it.

Get to Aladna and separate Dar-Benn from that bangle.

We have our heading.

Kamala, you are not going on any space adventures.

Nicholas has told me how dangerous they can be.

It’s just “Fury.” God.

Wait. Where are you guys? Where is Abu?

[SPEAKING IN URDU] Hell. This man has taken us to Hell.

[IN ENGLISH] Hell? So that means I’m the devil?

Really, Fury?

They insisted, and your dad is not adjusting very well to space travel.

Hey, babes, so I’m in this crazy space elevator and we’re going up.

Or… maybe we’re going down. Uh… Are there directions in space?

FURY: Yes, there are.

But no filming.

Oh. Okay.

[MOUTHING] Help me.

[GOOSE MEOWS]

♫ [CAPTIVATING MUSIC PLAYING]

CAROL: Fury, everything okay?

We’ve had another surge.

Reports are coming in across the network.

It seems everyone’s been affected.

MONICA: Well, we need to stop her from making another one, and we can’t risk intergalactic body swapping in the meantime.

CAROL: Mrs. Khan, I’m sorry, but your daughter will have to stay aboard my ship until we can get to the bottom of this.

MUNEEBA: Oh, no, no, no.

KAMALA: Yes!

You will let her go.

Mrs. Khan, uh, it is not that simple.

W-We need Kamala.

Ammi, we found Nani’s other bangle, and there’s this weirdly beautiful but kind of terrifying woman using the other one to hurt people.

And we have to stop her.

You’re telling me there’s another bangle.

And they’re going to use that bangle to hurt you?

Monica will take care of her.

We will. And we will make sure she gets back home in one piece.

I promise.

Stay the course.

We’ll figure out how to close those jump points.

Kamala, [BREATHING HEAVILY] you listen to me.

If anything happens to you, [IN URDU] I will kill her.

[IN ENGLISH] You tell her that.

[MUNEEBA SNIFFLES]

[VOICE QUIVERS] I love you, beta.

Nothing.

Nobody cares more than Captain Marvel, and nobody gets more grief for it.

Trust me. Kamala is in good hands with Carol.

[MUNEEBA SHUSHES]

Listen to me.

You are chosen for a greater purpose, okay?

So, of course you must go now.

[TEARFULLY] But I will never let you go.

You understand that, right?

[WELL-WISHING IN URDU]

Yeah.

Come back safely, beta.

You better. I don’t wanna be an only child.

Not again. Not with these two.

You think it’s wise taking that bangle to the bad guy?

Yes. Mr. Fury’s right. Give it to me.

I will take it home.

Dar-Benn’s opened another jump point, and we’re gonna need both bangles to close it.

Then I guess you’d better make damn sure she doesn’t get her hands on it.

You took from me. I’m simply repaying the favor.

It doesn’t have to end like this, Dar-Benn.

Please, just give us the bangle.

I won’t!

Hala’s sun died because of you.

Why shouldn’t you repay us?

Maybe she should.

The reaction in your sun’s core has slowed.

It needs an incredible amount of energy to jump-start it, and that’s what you have, Carol.

You can use your powers to save Hala.

But I’ve never done anything like that before.

In the last couple of days, I have done a lot of things

I have never done before.

You got this.

MONICA: Okay, come on, Princess.

CAROL: So, what are we looking at?

A self-propagating singularity with negative mass and non-Newtonian topology.

She tore a hole in space-time.

[CRACKLING]

That is a different reality bleeding into ours.

Can we even fix that?

In theory, you and Carol can reproduce the same amount of energy that was used to open it.

I will absorb it and then release it, but from inside the tear.

But what about the switching?

Our, um, powers aren’t entangled anymore.

Oh.

Well, that’s a… good thing, I guess.

But, wait. You want us to blast you with the same amount of power that punched a hole in the fabric of space-time?

If we wanna un-punch it, yeah.

Monica…

You’re gonna need this.

You are now in a reality parallel to your own.

Which is, of course, impossible.
