(Web Desk) - The Marvel Cinematic Universe has revealed that Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, will appear alongside Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers.
Kamala Khan first appeared in Captain Marvel #14 in August 2013. The character created by Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona, and Jamie McKelvie, then went on to star in her own series of Marvel comics.
Kamala is a 16-year-old, Pakistani-American Muslim teen who lives in New Jersey with her conservative parents and brother. She idolizes superhero Carol Danvers.
And when she discovers she has newfound superpowers — including invulnerability, shape-shifting, and elasticity — the teen taps into her knowledge of superheroes like Danvers to become a crime-fighting hero herself.
In September, Marvel Studios announced that Canadian actor Iman Vellani would be taking on the role of Kamala Khan in their upcoming Ms. Marvel series. They also confirmed the show would be written by Bisha K. Ali and led by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, and Meera Menon.
