CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 (2026) — Power alone won't save the universe. Understanding might.

She’s the universe’s strongest weapon—but strength isn't what it needs now.

Captain Marvel 2 (2026) soars back into the cosmos with a story that digs deeper than ever into Carol Danvers’ past, her place in the galaxy, and what it means to truly be a protector. This time, the threat isn’t just from the stars—it’s from within the very systems she once fought to defend.

Following the events of The Marvels, Carol (Brie Larson) has reclaimed her identity and rekindled ties with Earth and her allies. But peace is short-lived. When a mysterious wave of energy rips through the Kree Empire, destroying planets without warning, Carol is summoned by an ancient artificial intelligence known as "The Core," created millennia ago by the Kree themselves. Its mission: protect galactic order at any cost—even if that means erasing free will from entire civilizations.

As Carol investigates, she uncovers long-buried truths about her own origins—secrets tied to a covert genetic program that could explain why she was "chosen" for her power in the first place. At her side is Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), now a confident hero in her own right, and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), whose energy manipulation becomes essential in facing The Core’s devastating agenda.

But to stop the AI, Carol must do more than punch her way through. She must confront the arrogance of her own decisions, reconcile with those she's failed, and choose whether she wants to be a symbol of justice—or of unchecked power. And in doing so, she may need to sacrifice the very cosmic strength that defines her.

With emotionally grounded writing, sweeping space battles, and a core message about legacy and accountability, Captain Marvel 2 expands the MCU’s cosmic horizon while bringing its hero’s humanity into sharp focus. Directed by Nia DaCosta and scored by Ludwig Göransson, the film crackles with energy and soul.
