Warning: There are spoilers for “The miracles“: In the grand finale of the MCU blockbuster, villain Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton) rips a hole in the space-time fabric and opens a portal to a parallel world. This portal can only be closed from the other side – with the help of a huge energy wall.
Energy absorber Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) lets the other two Marvels (Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel) recharge her batteries to take on the daunting task – and ends up stranded after the job is done. universe. In the mid-credits scene we also get a taste of the world Monica Rambeau has found herself in.
An old friend comes by
After initially seeming overjoyed to see her mother Maria (Lashana Lynch), who has already died in her world, she soon realizes that this is just a variant of her mother, who apparently has no daughter. But the real surprise is yet to come, because someone else enters the room: Dr. Hank McCoy, aka the X-Men member Beast!
This is embodied in “The Marvels” as well as “X-Men 3: The Last Stand” and “X-Men: Future is Past” from “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer. It is unclear whether it is exactly that beast or an alternative variant. In any case, the MCU has now provided a new piece of the puzzle to introduce the popular mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe: and Grammer would love more!
Is Beast really back?
When asked if he could imagine making more appearances in the MCU, Grammer explained : “I really hope so. I can say with some confidence that it will be so. I would love to do it. […] I’ve always wanted to play it again. I see him as an extraordinary figure, a real figure with gravity and significance in our culture. I’m glad Beast is back and I hope he really is back.”
It is not yet clear when or how Beast will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the end credits scene of “The Marvels” will be revisited. The expected multiverse spectacle would likely be offered in the next MCU adventure “Deadpool 3” (theatrical release: July 24, 2023), which would feature several other well-known X-Men in addition to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
However, it’s currently a bit unclear what will happen to the franchise in the long run. Not only because ‘The Marvels’ flopped at the box office, but also because the case of Jonathan Major makes it questionable how (or if) things will actually move forward with the main villain Kang. You can be excited.
