Friendship is a bond that endures through the good and the bad. When it comes to besties, there aren’t many better than the dynamic between Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau, played by Lashana Lynch. The two women share a deep connection that is felt through their words and actions in Captain Marvel. And while the film is a blast, it also offers some clues as to how these besties will continue to grow in The Marvels sequel.
The movie, which premiered on March 8 — International Women’s Day — focuses on female friendships and empowerment. It’s a sentiment that is carried throughout the entire film, from Brie Larson’s character telling her mom that she can do anything to Maria’s reaction to discovering she’s the star of her own movie. This connection between the two besties is a key part of the story, and there’s even some evidence to suggest they may have even known each other before they met in the MCU.
Monica’s role in the film foreshadows her comic book origins, where she wore the mantle of Captain Marvel alongside Mar-Vell. Though she initially was wary of taking on the title, her friend Ben Grimm assured her that the fallen Kree warrior would approve of her assuming his superhero name. Monica went on to become a core member of the Avengers, and even took over for her mother during a brief period of time as team leader.
In the Endgame post-credit scene, it looks as if Captain Marvel has made herself more available to her Earth-based MCU pals, including Shang-Chi. Her friendly demeanor in the short interaction with the masked hero suggests they are already old friends, and that this might be the start of an even closer connection between them.
