Marvel Studios has officially titled the sequel of "Captan Marvel" as "The Marvels".
Unless this is a misleading title, the makers have made this loud and clear, that this movie is not gonna be a solo Carol Danvers movie, but a team-up movie like Guardians of the Galaxy, with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan having pivotal roles in it.
Well, I think it's unfair that the movie which was supposed to be a solo movie of Carol Danvers is now not just about her, but still officially regarded as one. It's disrespectful that they removed her name from the branding.
I think by this move, Kevin Feige is bowing down to the sexist fanboys who hate Captain Marvel and Brie Larson for no real reason. They're trying to sell this movie to that target audience and I think it's really unfortunate.
No other superhero has got this treatment in the MCU till now. Civil War was still named Captain America: Civil War, and was regarded as a part of Cap's trilogy, although it had almost all the Avengers in it with Iron Man having almost an equal role to Cap. That was disrespectful as well, but at least Cap's name wasn't removed from the title
What makes it more sad is that till now, Captain Marvel was the only female superhero who was to going to have her own series in the MCU, as I doubt Black Widow would have a sequel. But now with this title change it's not gonna happen.
So that means Captain Marvel and Black Widow are going to be the only two female superhero films in the MCU until and unless a new solo project starring another female superhero is announced by Marvel.
I don't mind stories and characters of Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan being explored, but why do it at the cost of Carol? Give them their own solo movies or TV series, or make "The Marvels" an entirely different movie instead of calling it a Captain Marvel sequel.
I find this really sexist. Now all those haters of Captain Marvel and Brie Larson are gonna gloat about how her name is removed from the branding, and even if the movie collects a billion dollars, they're gonna disregard it saying that it's not really her movie....and sexist fanboys would give the excuse that since this was a team-up movie, female superheroes can't stand on their own.
