Therefore, if you are one of them and are excited to know what this anticipated film has in store, you have come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about The Marvels.
When will The Marvels premiere?
The Marvels was previously scheduled for July 8, 2022, November 11, 2022, February 17, 2023, and July 28, 2023. The release was postponed due to several reasons. Well, fans can now take a sigh of relief as the final premiere date is out now.
The Marvels will hit big screens on November 10, 2023. So all you MCU fans, buckle up as “The Marvels” has everything it takes to enthral viewers and have an influence that will last forever.
The Marvels was originally not anticipated to be shown in IMAX theaters because the release of Dune: Part Two was scheduled for November 3, 2023, and it was expected to occupy IMAX screens for five to six weeks. However, Dune: Part Two’s release was ultimately postponed to March 15, 2024.
IMAX Corporation CEO Richard Gelfond had previously mentioned that if this delay occurred, the company would change its plans to showcase The Marvels in IMAX. This change in scheduling was later confirmed.
What will The Marvels be about?
Marvel is renowned for keeping its projects under wraps, thus there isn’t much information available regarding Marvel’s storyline. But the trailer has given us some information about the movie’s narrative.

The universe’s security is at risk from a very terrible enemy as the three heroes try to understand what is happening to them.
The synopsis on the official MCU site reads:
“Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.”
