Bad News, Marvel"s Next Movie Can"t Avoid A Controversial MCU Trend

Summary

• The Marvels may continue a controversial trend of the MCU, which is keeping its movies' narratives to similar and by-the-book.
• The trailer for The Marvels hints at an interesting narrative that explores social dynamics, but it remains to be seen if the movie can break the mold of what is expected from an MCU production.
• Director Nia DaCosta's statement that The Marvels is "a Kevin Feige movie" suggests that it will adhere to the Marvel formula, possibly leading to a lack of innovation and originality in the film.

The Marvels is unlikely to avoid a controversial Marvel Cinematic Universe trend that has been growing stronger in recent years. Brie Larson had quite the MCU debut in 2019's Captain Marvel, as the movie grossed over $1 billion and set up Carol Danvers to play a key role in Avengers: Endgame. However, the movie wasn't without its flaws, including some complaints that the set-in-the-1990s origin story narrative felt a bit safe and overly familiar.
The Marvels' trailer shows that Captain Marvel's next cinematic outing, which will pair her with Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), will explore interesting social dynamics as the three heroes are forced to work together when their powers are mysteriously linked. However, despite that interesting narrative hook, a new reveal teases that the movie may still be unable to escape a controversial MCU trend that has become more glaring after Marvel's uneven Phase 4.
