About The Marvels
Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence.
But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe.
When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.

Age Rating of The Marvels: Parents Guide (7 Big Things)
Can your kids watch this one? What is the age rating of The Marvels?
This parent’s guide will help you decide if your family can handle the seven big issues with movies and shows: mature topics, gore, violence, language, sex, romance, and nudity. We’ll also give The Marvels age rating and age-appropriate recommendations.
Photosensitivity Warning In The Marvels
There are a lot of flashing lights and scenes that could trigger folks with photosensitivities.
It felt like a lot to me, so keep this in mind if it concerns your family. All three superheroes have powers that include photons or flashes, so it seems to be on screen often.
Language
The Marvels is pretty mild when it comes to language. There are no F-bombs in this one, even though we do see Nick Fury.
Your kids will hear:
- h@ll
- sh!t
- d@mn
- oh g-d
- omg
- d@mmit
Age Rating of The Marvels: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
There is no sex or nudity in The Marvels.
A cat licks himself- as cats do- so not sure that’s exactly needed as a warning, but here it is just in case.
On this scale, The Marvels is safe for kids!
Violence and Gore: Is Too Scary For Kids Under 10?
There are a few moments that could be considered scary for kids.
The Marvels has a couple of mild jump scares (Flerkins abound!) and there are some violent deaths. One person explodes in space.
There are hand-to-hand battles, guns, explosions- etc. The average fight scenes you’d expect from a Marvel superhero movie.
Overall, this is not a very bloody or gory movie; some scenes include vomiting.
Is The Marvels Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
The Marvels has a couple of high-level themes that families may need to know about.
Grief, loss, family issues, illnesses, and death are all covered. If you know the story of Captain Marvel and Monica’s mother, then you’ll be prepared for some of that.
The Marvels Parents Guide: Is Appropriate For Kids Under 10?
As always, you know your kids best.
The Marvels is one of the most kid-friendly MCU movies to date and I think most kids could enjoy this one.
With a shorter run time (1 hour and 45 minutes) and nothing in the sexual realm, I think kids who have seen Marvel movies could go to the theater for this one. I’d recommend ages 9 and up for The Marvels.
