Since 2015’s Ant-Man, The Marvels is no longer the cheapest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Disney has published business records, according to reports, indicating the forthcoming Marvel superhero movie cost $270 million to produce. This is $140 million more than The Marvels director Nia DaCosta was quoted as saying in Vanity Fair’s interview. The Marvels surpasses the Disney+ short series Secret Invasion ($212M) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($200M) to become the most costly release of Phase 5 with a $270 million budget. The Marvels is now the most costly Marvel Studios film that is not an Avengers film, as opposed to being the least expensive MCU film. The budget for the forthcoming MCU entry is a hefty $219.8 million, even with the $55 million subsidy The Marvels obtained from the UK government. Since studios only receive around half of theatre receipts, Reports estimates that The Marvels will need to make at least $439.6 million in box office revenue to break even. But given the current state of the box office, it could be easier said than done. With the exception of Guardians Vol. 3, superhero films have struggled to make money this year. At the box office, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Blue Beetle, The Flash, and Fury of the Gods are all having trouble.

The long-awaited Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, follows up with Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers (who made a brief appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Since its initial announcement, The Marvels has developed into a highly anticipated ensemble project that teams Carol Danvers with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), and Ms. Marvel’s Kamala after their powers become intertwined. Ms. Marvel’s connection with Carol Danvers in the forthcoming MCU movie will be similar to the one that develops between Clint Barton and Kate Bishop in Hawkeye, according to The Marvels producer Mary Livanos, who just made the revelation public. She also hinted that viewers will be able to view Captain Marvel “through the eyes of Ms. Marvel,” saying that this is how we “truly feel forgiveness. For someone who may not be able to forgive oneself, that can be liberating. “Little Ms. Marvel has this ideal view of Carol Danvers,” the source continued, “and to see that stripped back and Ms. Marvel get to know her hero for who she actually is was an interesting deconstruction that really warmed our hearts.”
