Captain Marvel returns to the MCU in the first trailer for The Marvels

As established in Captain Marvel, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers was one of the few superheroes who was active between Captain America’s disappearance in the ’40s and Iron Man’s emergence in 2008. Although Carol is apparently immortal, the general public on Earth had no idea who she was until after Avengers: Endgame. Carol’s actions in that movie won her the undying adulation of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), the heroine known as Ms. Marvel. And in the first trailer for The Marvels, Carol and Kamala suddenly find themselves inexplicably linked in a way that they can’t understand.

This was teased in the post-credits scene for the season finale of Ms. Marvel, when Carol suddenly found herself in Kamala’s bedroom. That scene plays out again in the trailer, with more comedic consequences for both. But they aren’t the only ones facing this problem. WandaVision‘s Teyonah Parris is reprising her role as Monica Rambeau, the grownup version of the girl who once idolized Carol. Monica’s feelings for Carol seem to have cooled over the decades. However, Monica’s newfound powers mean that she is also tied into the cosmic switcheroo that is affecting Carol and Kamala.

Naturally, this is leading to a team-up for the three heroes so they can figure out how to fix this problem. There are also some new villains to fight, but it’s hard to tell too much about the bad guys in this trailer. Fortunately, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury is on hand to help the trio sort this out and save the day.

Does Chris Evans appear in Captain America: Brave New World?
Chris Evans looks into the distance heroically in a still from the movie The Avengers.

Almost 14 years ago, Chris Evans entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The First Avenger, and he appeared in 8 Marvel movies (including a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming) between 2011-2019. In the closing moments of Avengers: Endgame, Evans' Steve Rogers passed the mantle of Captain America to his friend and partner, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), which paved the way for Captain America: Brave New World.

If you've already seen Brave New World, then you already know whether Evans returned for a cameo in that film. But for everyone else who hasn't seen it, we're going to answer that question now.

Anthony Mackie poses dramatically as Captain America in a still from the movie "Captain America: Brave New World."

Prior to this weekend, the last time a Captain America movie was in theaters was 2016's Captain America: Civil War. And that was practically an Avengers movie. Captain America: Brave New World essentially resets the franchise with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson firmly in place as the new Captain America. While the stakes are high, the former Falcon doesn't have an all-star cast of heroes to back him up this time.

Regardless, the box-office projections for Brave New World are promising, with estimates suggesting that the film could bring in $90 million or more across the long Presidents' Day weekend. But as for the question that brought you here, it's time to let you in on the answer.
