Higher. Further. Faster. And now, together. Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Photon blast their way onto the cover of Total Film magazine as we celebrate the upcoming release of The Marvels. And for subscribers, the cover's a little different – a fleet of Flerken is heading your way!
The issue – which also comes with a free 48-page photo supplement looking behind the scenes at Warner Bros. Studios' 100-year history – goes on sale on Thursday, August 17, and subscribers will be receiving their copies shortly.
In the cover feature, Total Film speaks to The Marvels' director Nia DaCosta, composer Laura Karpman, executive producer Mary Livanos, and cat wrangler Jo Vaughan about delivering a film that acts as a sequel to Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and WandaVision. We get the lowdown on the making of The Marvels, as well as new info on Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan’s formidable new foe, their unexpected power-swapping, and the legion of Flerken set to make their appearance.
The Marvels promises to be another epic superhero team-up, with Teyonah Parris, who plays Rambeau, previously highlighting how exciting it is to see the MCU embrace having three lead women from diverse backgrounds. In Total Film, Livanos goes into more detail about the role each hero plays: she calls Carol the brawler, Monica the brains, and Kamala the wide-eyed ingénue "caught up in Captain Marvel-sized epic adventures, the likes of which she has never seen before."
Inside the new issue, Total Film digs into how The Marvels came together, how the sequel sets up future MCU adventures, and the challenges of keeping those cat actors from causing too much havoc. The Marvels reaches cinemas on November 10.
