Yooooooo they referred to the secret avengers arc this issue! Where mar-vell died! That was some callback!
Makes sense, as it was after that death that Carol took the mantle.

A new DC Earth-8 hero called Doctor Multiverse looks like a Carol palette swap. Earth-8 is based on Marvel.

Marvel director Nia Dicosta interview
For The Marvels, my biggest thing going into it was making sure I approached these characters as human beings and not necessarily as superheroes. I want to know more about Captain Marvel. Who is she? What are her fears? What drives her? How do you actually deal with being the most powerful being in the universe? How does that weigh on you? That's the sort of thing I want to explore.
She also said Kamala and Monica will get equal focus in the story

I guess ostensibly, and she's the one they're named after, but it's not like Wonder Woman became the "Wonder Women" in her second movie.
I think you can develop them in team-ups or team movies but you should be able to develop them well in their solo films since it's actually supposed to be about them. You shouldn't need other heroes for that.
Unless, of course, that "the Marvels" is followed by "Captain Marvel 2" later on. After all, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist did not count "The Defenders" as a season of their series.
That's true. Rhodey was in the first Iron Man film (albeit with a different actor) and he became War Machine in the sequel. Bucky was in the first Captain America and became Winter Soldier in the sequel, which also introduced Steve's other sidekick, Falcon. Now it's the same for Captain Marvel, her sequel includes Ms. Marvel, who'll have already had her own show by then, as well as Monica Rambeau, who was a child in the first film (I wonder if she'll have a different name - in the comics she was Captain Marvel, Pulsar, Photon, and Spectrum, but it would make sense for the MCU version to be something else Marvel to match Carol and Kamala).
