‘The Marvels’: First Reactions After the Premiere - Hollywood Reporter

Audiences have finally gotten their first look at The Marvels, the latest project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Marvel Studios film held its premiere in Las Vegas Tuesday, with press screenings also held in New York and Los Angeles. Now, first reactions are arriving on social media, ahead of formal reviews, which hit on Wednesday morning. (Read THR‘s review here.)

Brie Larson, Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani and WandaVision‘s Teyonah Parris star in The Marvels, which hails from Candyman filmmaker Nia DaCosta and arrives in theaters on Friday. It is a sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel, which raked in $1.128 billion globally. But The Marvels opens amid a very different landscape, and doesn’t have nearly as lofty box office hopes.

The film did not have its actors available to promote the film amid the SAG-AFTRA strike, and Captain Marvel benefited from tying directly to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which helped build excitement. Marvel switched gears in its marketing of the movie on Monday, releasing a last-minute trailer that reminded audiences of Captain Marvel’s ties to the Avengers, and featuring archival footage of Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evan and Josh Brolin.

Read on for a sampling of the first reactions to The Marvels.

Happy to report #themarvels is a blast. It’s fun, funny & the cast is so good together. Is it one of the best Marvel movies? No. But I had a smile on my face a lot. Definitely worth seeing in a movie theater.

Also the after the credits scene is 🔥🔥🔥

Nia DaCosta’s #TheMarvels is a delight! The power-swapping plot is cool & all, but the real fun comes from the stellar chemistry between Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris & Iman Vellani. Low stakes aside, it delivers some of Marvel’s best action & comedy to date! See it with a crowd 👀 pic.twitter.com/Qz8k9j6nAm

All I wanted from #TheMarvels was to have a good time and that movie is stupid fun! Kamala, Monica, and Carol are so much fun together. The swapping, singing, and dancing played better than I thought it would. The cameos, my god those cameos! I’m so happy I saw this in IMAX! pic.twitter.com/seWhnb9fzX

#TheMarvels is pretty all over the place, with a truly silly plot, but still manages to be light on its feet. It’s often really funny, mostly thanks to Iman Vellani – a STAR.

Fun body-switching action, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Not great, but far from a disaster. pic.twitter.com/ammljNEvCw

Nia DaCosta’s #TheMarvels is a great time at the movies! It’s well paced & full of frantic, hilarious energy. I even liked it more than 2019’s #CaptainMarvel. This thing moves! The location-swap action is a blast & the end credits scene is 😱 . I’m definitely a fan.

#TheMarvels is so much fun, action-packed goodness, but genuinely hilarious and exciting to watch from start to finish. I love my girls so much and seeing them fight all three together truly is so special. Higher, further, faster baby! pic.twitter.com/epEroO2ClU

Despite everyone on screen trying their best, #TheMarvels feels like it lost its battle in the editing room.

Scenes don't flow into each other & you can't tell when the first act or second act begins. There's a few really dope scenes but studio interference might be to blame.

The Marvels is a fine MCU entry.

Carol, Kamala, and Monica are really great, especially together in very creative action scenes! First 25 minutes really rocked, exciting MCU stuff by the end.

Villain is forgettable. VFX vary, both good and bad. Some silly scenes didn’t work. pic.twitter.com/dflCP2hOPX

#THEMARVELS is short, sweet, and a hell of a lot of fun. The main trio is a blast together and it's great to have action sequences that are exciting again. Probably the most charmed I've been by a MCU film since No Way Home, and I can't wait to see what this film leads to… pic.twitter.com/BA8lkRCjU8

#TheMarvels was such a lovely, surprising, decent and delightful experience.

The chemistry of the cast is out of this world. Kamala Khan and her family are definitely one of the movie’s standouts.

Nia DaCosta delivers a movie full of heart. The emotional beats are also great,… pic.twitter.com/xN4z3XqagU

#TheMarvels is actually great fun, with a good complex dynamic between the leading trio at its center. Iman Vellani steals every scene. Some great stylistic action and a hilarious place-swap dynamic.

#TheMarvels is the most fun I’ve had watching a superhero movie in a while! It’s hilarious, action-packed & full of girl power. Kamala was a stand out & so many moments surprised me.

It’s saddening that it’s tracking so low because #THEMARVELS is a BLAST! A breath of fresh air for the MCU that balances terrific humor and heart throughout and boasts fantastic performances and chemistry from its main trio of Larson, Parris, and Vellani. DaCosta was the jolt of… pic.twitter.com/XuR0XVWaPA

#TheMarvels is a winner
Not a perfect winner
But a light, breezy, entertaining blockbuster that delivers a satisfying team up!

Brie Larson really SHINES as Captain Marvel (Finally), Iman continues to be a shining Star as Kamala Khan, & Teyonah Paris knocks it out as Rambeau! pic.twitter.com/GV9PuwiFIa
