Review: The Marvels

It seems every studio has felt the pushback from a lethargic audience starving for original content.But can The Marvels save us from caped crusader burnout?Featuring Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) from Captain Marvel and The Avengers, Monica Rambeau from WandaVision (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) from Ms. Marvel, The Marvels is a female-led superhero pic directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman) in s...
