If you don’t already know, Ms. Marvel is all set to return in The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2) alongside Captain Marvel (Carol Denvers), and Monica Rambeau. The film is all set to release in July 2023 and will showcase the further adventures of the Captain Marvel family. Ms. Marvel finale had just one post credit scene where Carol Denvers suddenly appeared in Kamala’s room! This can be explained by her switching places with Kamala Khan due to some connection the bangle formed between them. This directly tied Ms. Marvel to The Marvels and as per reports, The Marvels is also heavily tied to Secret Invasion. The following sections consist of some minor spoilers to the plot of The Marvels, so read at your own risk!
Post Credits Scene 1 Ties to MCU Multiverse!
As many of you might remember from the full plot leak that came out 10 months ago, the climax of the movie involves Monica and Kamala trying to stop an Incursion that the villain (Dar-Benn played by Zawe Ashton) accidentally caused after repeatedly creating rifts in space-time with Kamala’s twin bangle. Monica and Kamala realize that the only way they can stop the Incursion is for each of them to stand on opposite sides of the rift in order to successfully close it. Monica sacrifices herself by choosing to stand on the side of the rift that leads to the other universe which was colliding with 616
So, when they successfully stop the Incursion, Monica gets stuck in that other universe. In the first post-credits scene, Monica wakes up in a hospital and sees her mom, Maria, dressed in the Captain Marvel costume that she donned in Multiverse of Madness. It’s not implied that this is Earth-838 unless Monica also travelled back in time, but rather another universe where Maria also happens to be Captain Marvel. The scene also draws a parallel to episode 4 of WandaVision where Monica wakes in a hospital to find her mom gone.
The Marvels Post Credits Scene 2 Introduces Kate Bishop!
In an homage to the opening of Ms. Marvel, The Marvels starts with Kamala narrating the events of the movie. But this time around, it wasn’t for a YouTube video of hers. In a similar manner with Iron Man 3, The Marvels’ last post-credits scene reveals that Kamala was actually narrating the events of the movie to someone else and that person is… KATE BISHOP aka the new Hawkeye.
Hailee Steinfeld makes a cameo in the scene in her full Hawkeye suit and gear as Kamala recounts her latest adventure. At the end, Kamala says that there are more young heroes like them and they should all team up, ending the scene by asking Kate “Did you know Ant-Man had a daughter?” This scene obviously teases the eventual formation of the Young Avengers and it seems Kamala, Kate and Cassie will be the first 3 members.
The Marvels is set to release in theaters on July 28, 2023.
