Nia DaCosta directs Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani in this Marvel comic book sequel where Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and another one swap places every time one of them uses their powers.
The first half an hour I kicked myself for not seeing this at the cinema on release. It was sparkly, energetic and cute. Brie Larson has star power but isn’t given the right spotlight here. Iman Vellani is the real protagonist… but I haven’t bothered with her TV show and her dynamic is very much ethnic Tom Holland. Everyone deserves more really. I liked Nia DaCosta’s Candyman reboot but she is lost in the shuffle here. The two quirkier set pieces riled up the spoilt fanbase. They’re OK but not leant into hard enough. The formula is still the overriding force.

Not that the Marvel TV series are particularly great, the Ms Marvel was actually really good and worth watching when compared to this regurgitated dog’s dinner! Although, The Marvels is still not as bad as The Eternals, mind 😀
