'Aunt Carol' aka
'Captain Marvel' (Brie Larson), but things have changed since they last saw each other and she was called
'Lieutenant Trouble' as a child. Her mother and
Carol's best friend

Westview Hex energy field created by
'Wanda Maximoff'. Trained as an astronaut and now a

Earth orbit, when investigating a jump point anomaly her powers become entangled with
Captain Marvel and
'Ms. Marvel' (Iman Vellani) causing them to switch places whenever they use their light-based powers. This trio must team up to defeat the

Captain Monica Rambeau costume worn by Teyonah Parris
in The Marvels
These screen-worn costumes from The Marvels were photographed on display at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on November 14, 2023.
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.
Black girl magic indeed.
