30 movies, (at least) eight series, two holiday specials, and plenty of shorts, comics, and much more: The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a massive construct that spans several mediums. With so many different pieces of the puzzle and different people responsible, there can be inconsistencies and contradictions – which are all the more noticeable, of course, because the MCU fans pay as much attention to the integrity of the timeline as the TVA does in “Loki”.
In order to eliminate at least a few mistakes and to make the transitions between the films and series as seamless as possible, Disney and Marvel sometimes even make changes afterwards. For example, in 2021 with “WandaVision” for the release of “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness” – and now too Bee “Mrs. Marvelto make the MCU series betterSpider-Man: No Way Home” fits.
What color is the Statue of Liberty in the MCU?
Anyone who has seen “No Way Home” will remember that the movie’s big showdown takes place at the Statue of Liberty in New York. However, unlike in our world, Lady Liberty in the Avengers universe is copper (again)., as it was right after its construction at the end of the 19th century. Oxidation over the course of the year gave the Statue of Liberty the blue-green color it is today.

However, in the MCU, the resulting patina was removed after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” and the death or disappearance of Captain America (Chris Evans) – and instead of a torch, the statue, now called Liberty Avenger, was supposed to be the iconic holding up Captain America’s shield, as seen in “No Way Home”.
Now back to “Ms. Wonder”: The MCU series is set after “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and should therefore also feature the shiny copper Statue of Liberty. However, when the series came out in the summer of 2022, that was not the case.
Like the Twitter fan account showed, however became this little one (as it is called in English) is now fixed. The Statue of Liberty also shines in a new color, both in the credits of the series and in a short shot at the beginning of the sixth episode.

The Captain America shield was damaged during the fight at the Statue of Liberty in “No Way Home” and fell to the ground, which is probably why it is missing in “Ms. Wonder”.
Besides, the next reunion with Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) will be this year: she is part of the main character trio in “Captain Marvel 2: The Marvels”, which will hit German cinemas on July 26, 2023.
