The Marvels, featuring Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Tayonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, serves as a connection and continuation of five separate Marvel films and shows. This film marks the inaugural crossover event of the MCU's phase 5. Marvel has been building up to this movie since Carol Danvers' first onscreen adventure in 2019. While many fans are eagerly anticipating the interconnectedness in a Marvel film, some liken the extensive required viewing to homework.
Brie Larson confirmed that before watching The Marvels, fans should be caught up on five MCU projects: Captain Marvel (2019), Avengers: Endgame (2019), WandaVision (2021), Ms. Marvel (2022), and Secret Invasion (2023). This movie is the first in the MCU to require viewing of multiple Disney Plus shows.
Regarding sequels, Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel will continue the adventures of their titular heroes. The Marvels will address Captain Marvel's whereabouts since her battle with Thanos, which has been mentioned in Ms. Marvel. The connection to WandaVision is straightforward as it introduced Monica Rambeau's origin story. However, the extent of the connection between WandaVision and The Marvels remains to be seen. Lastly, The Marvels will connect with Secret Invasion, but the full details will only be revealed in the finale. Samuel L. Jackson confirmed that Secret Invasion had to happen prior to the release of The Marvels.

Although The Marvels will provide answers to many inquiries, some fans express concern about the extensive viewing required on Disney Plus. With three Disney Plus shows comprising 21 episodes, certain fans feel overwhelmed. The success of The Marvels, set to release in a few months, will undoubtedly influence the direction of future MCU movies in phases 5 and 6.
The Marvels is set to release on November 10, 2023.
