The Marvels
Disney Plus, 7 February
This Marvel movie may have been in theatres for a while, but this weekend – it hits Disney Plus! This thrilling sequel is a follow up the original ‘Captian Marvel’ and brings back not only Nick Fury, but Ms Marvel and ‘Photon’ aka Captain Marvel’s neice: Monica Rambeau.
When Captain Marvel is drawn into an anomalous wormhole connected to a Kree rebel, her abilities become intertwined with those of Jersey City’s avid fan, Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now SABER astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Each time one of these heroes employs their powers, they swap places with the others. This complicates matters, especially when facing a Kree warrior wielding a Cosmi-Rod akin to Ronan the Accuser’s. The trio must work together to thwart the Kree threat, navigating the challenges of their unpredictable power exchanges along the way.

The Women
Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah’s latest novel, ‘The Women,’ delves into the turbulent landscape of 1965 America, offering both a personal narrative of growth and a sweeping epic of a nation torn apart.
