The Marvels has teased the X-Men before – but not like this. Thanks to the latest trailer, MCU fans are convinced that the mutant group will be rocking up in theCaptain Marvelsequel.
One blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment from The Marvels trailer sees Monica Rambeau standing near a monitor. While some think they can see Beast and Storm on the screen (we’re not so sure, personally), it certainly looks like the classic X-Men logo on the bottom right of the screen. It’s one that’s been used in everything from theMarvel comicsto Fox’s X-Men movies. Take a look for yourself.
This follows on from a curious teaser for The Marvels, one whichlingeredjusta little too long on the letter ‘X’for it to be a coincidence. Couple that with a handful of Loki sets designed to look like an X – which have beendebunked by the episode’s director– and it certainly seems like The Marvels marks the spot where mutants are going to make a splash in the MCU. Either that, or it’s the cruelest piece of misdirection we’ve seen in a minute.
The Marvels, starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris, is set for release on November 10. The nextDisneyPlus release is Echo, which hits the streamer on January 10.
