Brie Larson reprises her role as Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, and is joined by Teyonah Parris, who played Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, and Iman Vellani, who recently starred in the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel.
The story of The Marvels takes place after the events of Ms. Marvel and sees the trio of powerful women teaming up to face new threats. The teaser trailer offers a glimpse into what’s in store for fans, revealing that Monica Rambeau now works as an astronaut and discovers her own set of superpowers.
The trailer also introduces Park Seo-joon, the South Korean actor known for his roles in Parasite and Itaewon Class, in a yet-to-be-disclosed role. Saagar Shaikh, Zenoiba Shroff, and Mohan Kapur play the roles of Kamala’s older brother, mother, and father, respectively.

Nia DaCosta, the director behind 2021’s Candyman, will be making her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with The Marvels.

In case you’re curious to take a peek, here’s what Marvel Studios have to say about The Marvels teaser trailer: “Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe.”

Marvel Studios has already released a new trailer for the highly-anticipated show Secret Invasion. And it is packed with never-before-seen key details and new reveals. The trailer features Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Col. Nick Fury, the former head of SHIELD, who returns to Earth to face a growing threat from a rogue cell of shape-shifting alien Skrulls. Check out the video below in case you need to rewatch the Secret Invasion trailer.
Let’s dive in and see some key details that may change the course of the MCU as we know it.
Key Detail #1: Secret Invasion Takes Place After Avengers: Endgame
The new trailer confirms that the majority of Secret Invasion will be taking place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. It begins with Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos revealing how bad things have gotten since Fury’s been gone, and Fury is now back in response to this growing threat.
Key Detail #2: Emilia Clarke’s Character is the Skrull G’iah
Emilia Clarke will be playing the Skrull G’iah. If you recall, she is the daughter of Talos first seen in Captain Marvel. Featured in several shots of the new Secret Invasion trailer, it looks like she will have a strenuous relationship with her father while coming to terms if she truly wants to be a rogue Skrull.
Key Detail #3: What Do Gravik and the Rogue Skrulls Really Want?
We get to see more about the villain Gravik, portrayed by Kingsley Ben-Adir, who appears to be leading a group of renegade Skrulls. Additionally, the trailer shows us a large-scale experiment that involves a device that Fury is seemingly trying to stop, which includes several hidden bodies.
Key Detail #4: No Formal Roster of Avengers Yet
Fury is questioned about the whereabouts of the Avengers, and he replies that he must face this new conflict alone. This suggests that a formal team of Avengers may not have been established yet, following the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Key Detail #5: The Department of Damage Control Will Play an Important Role in the Series
In the Secret Invasion trailer, it is revealed that the Department of Damage Control (DODC) will be playing a significant role in managing extraterrestrial threats in the absence of SHIELD. The contents of a briefcase labeled as a sample from a “Cull” specimen hint that the ranks of the DODC might have been infiltrated by the Skrulls.
Key Detail #6: Gravik’s Power and Possibility of Being MCU’s Super-Skrull
The final scenes of the trailer show Gravik extending his arm, preparing to attack an unseen adversary. This is a nod to Gravik’s potential to be the MCU’s version of the Super-Skrull. In the comics, Super-Skrull possesses the combined abilities of all the members of the Fantastic Four, making him a formidable, shape-shifting foe.
Key Detail #7: High Stakes for Nick Fury and the Future of the MCU
The trailer confirms several details regarding the show’s plot while hinting at the very high stakes for Fury. As the rogue Skrulls’ infiltration of humanity becomes more widespread, Fury has no other choice but to fight this new battle alone.
The Secret Invasion trailer is packed with intriguing details that give fans plenty to speculate about. From the return of Nick Fury to the introduction of new characters and potential plot twists, the upcoming Disney+ Marvel series is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the MCU. Be sure to mark your calendars for June 21 and get ready to unravel the mystery behind Secret Invasion.
There are plenty of new movies and series that are set to be released this year and will expand the Marvel universe, both within and outside of the MCU. In 2022, Marvel Entertainment made its mark once again with the release of three movies (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), three Disney+ series (Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk), and Marvel Studios’ first two Special Presentations (Werewolf by Night and GOTG Holiday Special). However, the Marvel brand has also produced new content across various forms of entertainment over the past year. And this time around, as we enter Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in February, let’s take a look at all the Marvel 2023 movies and series that will rock MCU to its core this year. This also includes two new Spider-Man movies from Sony Pictures and a documentary tribute to the person who started it all.
Here they are in their expected order of release, as we know them. Some of these were already made official by Disney and Sony, while others are still kept under wraps.
Marvel 2023 Movies / Theatrical Releases
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – February 17
Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly will begin Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in which Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne delve deeper into the Quantum Realm. The film features an excellent cast, including Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang, and will introduce the main version of one of the Multiverse Saga’s biggest villains, Kang the Conqueror (played by Jonathan Majors).
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – May 5
The highly-anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will finally be released in theaters after a six-year delay. The film follows the Guardians as they search for the version of Gamora from Avengers: Endgame and confront a new, formidable villain played by Chukwudi Iwuji, the High Evolutionary.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – June 2
After numerous delays, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will finally be released in theaters. This will be the second adventure for Miles Morales (played by Shamiek Moore) and Spider-Gwen (played by Hailee Steinfeld). The first film, Into the Spider-Verse, released in 2018, was a huge success and received widespread praise. Fans and crew members alike are hoping that the sequel will be just as successful.
The Marvels – July 28
The plot of The Marvels is largely unknown, but it is rumored to be connected to the Multiversal storyline in the Multiverse Saga, specifically involving Kamala Khan’s origins and powers. In the last episode of the Ms. Marvel series, we saw Kamala transported by her bangles to an unknown place and in turn, also transported Carol to the home of the younger hero. There are still plenty of unanswered questions as to the nature of Kamala’s super-powered bangles so hopefully, all of our speculations will be put to rest once the film is released in July.
Kraven the Hunter – October 6
Sony Pictures will release a live-action Spider-Man Universe movie featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kraven the Hunter. This will be Taylor-Johnson’s second Marvel role, having previously played Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The film also features a notable cast, including Russell Crowe (from Thor: Love and Thunder) and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story).

In early 2023, Marvel Studios will release its first crossover event, Secret Invasion, starring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos.

Loki Season 2 – Summer 2023
Loki will be the first live-action show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be renewed for a second season. The God of Mischief, played by Tom Hiddleston, will return to the small screen alongside the Time Variance Authority. The entire cast from Season 1 will return for Season 2, which will push the limits of interdimensional storytelling in the MCU further than ever before.
Ironheart – Fall 2023
Dominique Thorne, who made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will star in her own Disney+ series, Ironheart. In the series, Thorne will reprise her role as Riri Williams and will have the opportunity to showcase her genius as she builds new versions of her suit and improves her technology. However, she will also face significant threats.
X-Men ’97 – Fall 2023
Fans will certainly welcome Marvel Studios’ very first X-Men property to the MCU with X-Men ’97, a revival of the classic 1990s animated series X-Men: The Animated Series. The new series will use the same animation style as the original and will pick up where the story left off. This will be the first opportunity to see what the X-Men might be capable of within the MCU.
Echo – Late 2023
Echo, a Disney+ series set to release in 2023, has faced numerous challenges. Despite this, the series is expected to add exciting new material to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Alaqua Cox will star as Echo, a deaf hero who revisits her Native American roots. The series will feature the return of both Daredevil and Kingpin, and will introduce a new hero following Echo’s appearance in Hawkeye.
Agatha: Coven of Chaos – Winter 2023
Kathryn Hahn, who gained a large following for her role in the popular Disney+ series WandaVision, will star in Agatha: Coven of Chaos. The show will also feature an impressive supporting cast, including Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, and Emma Caulfield Ford, as Agatha (formerly known as Agnes) demonstrates her magical abilities.
Stan Lee Documentary – Unknown 2023
To honor the 100th birthday of the late Stan Lee, Marvel Studios and Disney+ announced a documentary titled Stan Lee. The trailer, released on Disney+’s official YouTube channel, features a look back at some of Lee’s most iconic MCU cameos and celebrates his reputation as the ultimate cameo master in film history.
The Marvel universe has much in store for 2023, and it is possible that not all of the listed Marvel Cinematic Universe projects will be released by the end of the year.
