Disney+ & Marvel Studios has found its Ms. Marvel! Newcomer Iman Vellani has landed the role of Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel on the new streaming series. Btw, Kahn is so new that she doesn’t even have a profile on IMDB.
In the comics, Khan is a Pakistani-American teenager in New Jersey who will now become the MCU’s first Muslim superhero on screen. After the Disney+ series, it’s believed that Vellani will then make the leap to the big screen as Marvel boss Kevin Feige has said on multiple occasions that all the shows will be heavily connected to what transpires on the big screen, & vice versa. Marvel Studios recently named Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy & Meera Menon as directors on the upcoming series.
In addition to Ms. Marvel, Disney+ is also developing a She-Hulk & Nick Fury series while WandaVision, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, & Loki are on their way. Moon Knight is also rumored to be on their docket. It appears Marvel has been very busy during the pandemic.
