It’s a cool concept that never feels gimmicky as the trio tries to capitalise on their new-found connection with one another to defeat the bad guys and save the universe. Their infectious chemistry – led by Vellani’s boundless charisma – is a welcome gift to the franchise, which sorely needed to strike up new alliances across generations to assemble the disconnected Marvel cinematic and TV universe.

Arguably, the MCU is at its best when it looks out for the little guy, grounding the heart of the space adventures in relatable human issues. For those who didn’t catch Vellani’s debut as Kamala Khan in the Disney+ limited series Ms. Marvel, Da Costa has made sure the story is still accessible to newcomers while still treating fervent fans to wider MCU references too.

Spanning several planets and solar systems, the expansive vision of The Marvels is stunning, with an attention to detail in quality CGI that rivals even the most epic elements of Avengers: Endgame.

Alongside Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), the entire Khan family shines with some of the best one-liners and exchanges that help balance out the wild and sometimes wacky plot turns. With inventive, slick action sequences and an impressive new villain in Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton), The Marvels is a triumph on all fronts.

If you aren’t well-versed in the MCU – it is overwhelming to dive in at this stage – then some of the Easter eggs might have passed you by. But if you’re a die-hard fan, you’re in for excellent cameos and major surprises. Do not leave before the mid-credit scene. You’ve been warned.

Don’t listen to the misogynists, The Marvels is a triumph
