Marvel Studios is a company that has been active since 2008, and being a shared universe that progresses with each new movie and series, it’s clear that catching up to understand everything is a daunting task. However, one can still enjoy many of Marvel’s movies by simply watching some of the earlier ones, and this is the case with The Marvels.
The Marvel Studios movie that is about to be released is a direct sequel to Captain Marvel. However, it also introduces two interesting characters who share the spotlight with Brie Larson’s character: Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau. But what movies and/or series do you need to watch exactly to catch up with this film? Let’s see.
Captain Marvel
Certainly, the most essential movie to delve into The Marvels is Captain Marvel. Available on Disney Plus, like all Marvel Studios products, the movie tells the origin story of this heroine and how she arrives on Earth after spending her life lost in the universe. Undoubtedly, it is a great film with a 90s vibe that you shouldn’t miss to fully understand her character.
Ms. Marvel
Another essential piece to understand The Marvels is Ms. Marvel, the recent Disney Plus series that introduces this character and tells her story. This fan of Captain Marvel turned heroine carries significant dramatic weight in the upcoming Marvel movie, so it’s highly advisable to watch her origin story to fully grasp her role.
Wandavision
Finally, it is essential to watch the series WandaVision on Disney Plus to understand The Marvels. This is where the third main character, Monica Rambeau, originates, so it’s necessary to know her backstory before diving into anything else.
Many other movies and series
Evidently, any other Marvel movie or series, especially those from the Avengers or the recent Multiverse saga, is good to understand more about The Marvels. However, we could conclude that the essential ones are the three previous ones.
