Get ready for an adventure as Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, and Captain Monica Rambeau come together in 'The Marvels.' Directed by Nia DaCosta, 'The Marvels' will release on February 7th on Disney+ Hotstar and will be available in Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telugu.

A sequel to the 2019 box office phenomenon 'Captain Marvel,' which introduced audiences worldwide to an all-new chapter starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, 'The Marvels' takes the story further as Carol as Captain Marvel reclaims her identity from the tyrannical Kree and takes revenge on the Supreme Intelligence.

However, unintended consequences see her shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. To face it, she teams up with her estranged niece Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Jersey City super-fan Kamal Khan (Iman Vellani). Directed by Nia DaCosta, the movie brings viewers the cosmic Marvel universe in a new light.

Iman Vellani sharing her experience of working with 'The Marvels' diverse and talented cast said, "I learnt so much working with Brie and Teyonah on and off the screen. It was different from when we did the show with Ms Marvel where everyone was kind of like the same age."

"Here we had much more mature actors like Sam Jackson. There were a lot of sweet moments on set and everyone was very protective of each other, especially over me. So I had really incredible role models."

What truly sets 'The Marvels' apart is that this installment isn't just about superpowers and epic battles. It's about sisterhood. These three superheroes are like any other siblings, with their quirks and rivalries, and they have to figure out how to be a family while saving the world.

Director Nia DaCosta sums it up perfectly saying, "They complement each other but they are really like sisters who have to figure out how to love each other, essentially, so that they can save the world."

'The Marvels' also stars Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Seo-Jun Park, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Kevin Feige serves as the producer, while Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Mary Livanos, Jonathan Schwartz, and Matthew Jenkins act as executive producers. The screenplay is by Nia DaCosta, Megan McDonnell, and Elissa Karasik.
