The highly anticipated sequel to Captain Marvel, The Marvels, is set to release in November 2023, and the first teaser trailer has just dropped. The movie brings together three superheroes, Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau/Photon (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), who are forced to switch places with each other when they use their powers. Here are the top Easter eggs and nods to the Marvel Universe that you might have missed in the trailer.
The Accuser
The main villain of The Marvels is revealed to be Zawe Ashton‘s Dar-Benn, a Kree General who looks to have taken the place of Lee Pace’s Ronin as The Accuser of the Kree radical army. Dar-Benn is seen wielding a hammer staff similar in design to the one used by Ronin in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1.
Nine Inch Nails
Monica can be seen wearing the same Nine Inch Nails t-shirt that Carol wears in Captain Marvel. This is a nod to the 90s music that highlighted the relationship between Carol and Monica’s mom Maria Rambeau.
Herd Of Flerkin
The trailer shows a herd of Flerkin (cats), possibly hinting at the return of everyone’s favorite feline alien, Goose, who intimidated Skrulls in Captain Marvel.
Ms.Marvel… Fangirling!
When Nick Fury and Monica Rambeau visit Kamala Khan’s home, Kamala is holding a SHIELD-esque tablet with her superhero file on it. The image used in this file is the same one used by Nick Fury and his team when Iman Vellani was cast as Ms. Marvel.
Studios Marvel
The Marvels’ studio logo receives a new variant that hints at the plot device of the movie. “Studios Marvel” is presented in the classic Marvel Studios colorway before switching back to “Marvel Studios” with the galactic effect seen throughout the trailer.
S.A.B.E.R. Space Station
The trailer opens with a look at a floating space station just outside Earth’s atmosphere, labeled the SABER Space Station. This is a new creation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and seems to be the replacement for SWORD, which was introduced in WandaVision.
