Zawe Ashton's Dar-Benn movie costume from The Marvels on display...

After Brie Larson's 'Captain Marvel' destroyed the Kree's AI leader, the 'Supreme Intelligence', their empire descended into thirty years of civil war and their homeworld of Hala's atmosphere was ruined, their oceans dried up and their sun died. Now the revolutionary warrior and Accuser 'Dar-Benn' (Zawe Ashton) leads her people as the new Supremor, out for revenge on the 'Annihilator' of their people, and using the mythical Quantum Bands and the Universal Weapon hammer she targets the planetary resources of Captain Marvel's allies using the universe's jump point teleportation network to siphon their air, water and sunshine. To defeat Dar-Benn and protect the universe, 'Carol Danvers' must team up with other light-powered heroes, 'Captain Monica Rambeau' and 'Ms. Marvel', when their unique abilities become entangled.

Lindsay Pugh is Costume Designer on director Nia DaCosta's MCU debut, and responsible for creating Monica's 'Photon' super-suit (a name she never adopts in the movie, but which was her mother's U.S. Air Force pilot callsign and is used on merchandise for the film).

Monica receives her black and white costume (which is similar the S.A.B.E.R. station uniforms) courtesy of 'Prince Yan' of the water planet Aladna and initially it comes with sleeves which is an ode to her original comic book look.

I love the DNA Double Helix on the sleeve detail and I'm slightly obsessed with the stitching and design of her black knee-high boots. She looks great in action in the movie.

Fans of the latest Marvel Studios cinematic entry can also enjoy these other movie costumes from The Marvels on display, and these Captain Marvel movie costumes from 2019. 

Black girl magic indeed.

Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel movie costume from The Marvels on display...

Undoubtedly the MVP of the latest MCU movie, The Marvels, is Iman Velani who plays 'Kamala Khan' aka 'Ms.Marvel' with such joy, empathy and enthusiasm. In the film directed by Nia DaCosta the hard light-powered New Jersey Muslim superhero gets to meet and team up with her idol 'Carol Danvers' aka 'Captain Marvel' (Brie Larson) and other light-powered hero and S.A.B.E.R. space station agent, 'Monica Rambeau' (Teyonah Parris), after their similar powers become entangled. When the Kree warrior zealot 'Dar-Benn' (Zawe Ashton) finds an ancient artifact we learn that Kamala's grandmother's bangle is part of a pair of Quantum Bands, which in mythology were used to create the Jump Points teleportation system in the Marvel Universe. When Dar-Benn uses her band and the Universal Weapon hammer she wields to keep open jump points to steal the natural resources of other planets, she endangers not just the inhabitants, but the entire universe.
