When Captain Marvel's powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol's estranged niece Captain Monica Rambeau, they must learn to work together to save the universe. Tony says, "The Marvels is a light and breezy buddy picture that doesn't take itself too seriously.
