As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the upcoming film, The Marvels. However, recent reports have sparked controversy among fans who are demanding that Brie Larson, who plays the titular character Captain Marvel, receive proper credit for the movie’s success.
The Marvels’ Screening Success Sparks Enthusiasm and Controversy
The Marvels have been widely anticipated by Brie Larson‘s fans, and recent developments have only served to fuel their enthusiasm. The upcoming movie has garnered favorable test screening reviews, according to a tweet from MCU – The Direct. Fans are anxiously awaiting the release of the film, and this is encouraging news. The audience will likely enjoy the film, and based on the test screenings’ strong feedback, it may even outperform Captain Marvel in terms of popularity.
It is important to remember, nevertheless, that not all test screening findings have been favorable. The film has even been referred to as a “sh*t show” by some, which claimed that the screenings were a fiasco. It’s unclear if these unfavorable claims are true or whether a few loud detractors are to blame.
Whatever the case may be, it is certain that the news of the favorable test screening reactions has created a lot of hype among fans and has many wondering what to anticipate from the next film. Fans are excitedly anticipating the debut of The Marvels, but only time will tell how it will be appreciated in the end.
Yet controversy has also eclipsed this excitement. Several fans feel that Brie Larson, who was instrumental in the original Captain Marvel movie’s success, is not getting enough credit for the future sequel.
The Marvels or Captain Marvel 2? The Debate Surrounding Brie Larson’s Role in the Franchise
When Jeff Sneider disclosed that Brie Larson was apparently dissatisfied with the choice to call the sequel The Marvels rather than Captain Marvel 2, the controversy around the movie started.

It's funny how Marvel turned their back on Brie Larson and didn't give her a sequel While we have trilogies of heroes like Iron man, captain America, thor, guardians of the galaxy, and man, and doctor Strange… 'her film' is not even called captain marvel 2.

It should be called Captain Marvel 2, or Captain Marvel: Whatever, but it should be her movie.
Even in Civil War with a bunch of heroes fighting each other, it was still a Captain America: Civil War movie.
Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania should've been "Ant Man: Quantumania"

Not all fans, though, share this opinion. Others claim that the name The Marvels alludes to the fact that the next movie would center on a group of female superheroes, including Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau. They contend that the title is inclusive and honors the work of each and every one of the movie’s characters.
Fans claim that despite the movie’s title being unimportant, it alludes to a wider problem of representation and acknowledgment in the film business. It is crucial that all of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe receive the praise and appreciation they merit for their contributions to the series as it continues to grow.
