The latest Marvel film by Nia DaCosta starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris has become a hot topic among MCU enthusiasts post-release. The Marvels reveals that Captain Marvel is actually married to Prince Yan of Aladna, a planet where communication takes place in the form of songs. This unique setting leads to a brief musical number after Carol Danvers visits Aladna with Monica and Kamala.
Fans, however, have not been too delighted with the sequences and have openly credited in one of the most cringe-worthy scenes in the film. But not all fans share the same sentiment, as some have now come forward to defend the musical sequence in the latest Marvel film.
Brie Larson’s Musical Number in The Marvels Gets Fan Support
Brie Larson’s The Marvels features a brief musical sequence involving her and actor Park Seo-joon’s Prince Yan. The scene, as per fans, has been among some of the most cringing scenes in the movie. They even went on to call it “cringe as hell” as they shared their views on the unique sight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, that’s not the case for everyone, as many fans loved the sequence and have defended it on X (Twitter). One fan took to social media, stating that they enjoyed the scene as they “got to see a different side of Carol.”
It was executed well. It didn’t last long at all and the bilingual joke was great!

While some stated that the scene was filmed well and that they loved “the bilingual joke,” others also called out people criticizing the scene, claiming that they dislike the scene particularly because it’s in a Captain Marvel movie.
The Musical Sequence in The Marvels Was Initially Longer
Reports ahead of the release of The Marvels revealed that the movie went through week-long reshoots. SlashFilm has recently revealed that the musical sequence in the movie was originally much longer and more elaborate.
The Marvels star Iman Vellani shared that the scene was cut for the film’s theatrical release. “There’s a longer version of the Aladna dance,” she said. And like many fans who defended Briel Larson’s musical number in the film, Vellani was also very excited about it.
“They sent me the song, and it’s so good. Then we had a week or two of filming the Aladna scene, when Carol, Monica, and Kamala arrived for the first time, and they started bringing on the song. That thing goes for a couple of minutes, and it’s a long take.”
However, the whole sequence did not make it to the final cut. “I wish they would release the full version of the dance,” she said, expressing her disappointment with the cut, as she shared that she is a “musical theatre nerd” and loved the whole sequence.
The Marvels is playing in theatres.
