Marvel fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Avengers: Doomsday, set to hit theaters in May 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027.
With high expectations surrounding these films, speculation is rampant about the roles of Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms. Marvel in shaping the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Captain Marvel’s Journey & Box Office
Captain Marvel’s solo outing in 2019 was a massive success, grossing $1.1 billion worldwide. However, the sequel, The Marvels, failed to replicate that triumph.
Despite bringing back Carol Danvers and introducing a team-up with WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel’s Kamala Khan, the film only managed $206 million globally, making it one of Marvel Studios’ biggest box office disappointments.
Impact on Avengers: Doomsday
The conclusion of The Marvels left audiences with major implications for the future. Monica Rambeau finds herself stranded in an alternate reality, encountering a Variant of her mother, now known as the mutant hero Photon, alongside the X-Men’s Beast.
