In a brand new image from the upcoming MCU series, Ms. Marvel prepares to wear her new superhero mask. Iman Velani stars as Kamala Khan a Pakistani-American teenager living in Jersey City who moonlights as the new Ms. Marvel. As opposed to the source material in which Kamala gets her powers the Terrigen Mist unlock her Inhuman genes, the new Disney+ show has revealed that the hero’s abilities will stem from a set of mysterious magical bangles with the power to harness cosmic energy.
Vellani is joined by Matt Lintz as Bruno Carrelli, her best friend and sidekick during her initial days as she discovers her newfound powers. Aramis Knight will play Kareem also known as the vigilante the Red Dagger, a masked hero who protects the people of Karachi, Pakistan. Rounding out the cast is Yasmeen Fletcher as Nakia, Saagar Shaikh as Amir, Zenobia Shroff as her mother Muneeba Khan, and Mohan Kapur as Yusuf Khan, Kamala’s father. Set to premiere in June, Vellani is excited to show Ms. Marvel to the world her character but has also admitted to finding it weird to watch herself on screen. In the meantime, Marvel continues to ramp up marketing.
