If you had informed me 5 years in the past that Kamala Khan was going to affix the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. If you had informed me 10 years in the past, I’d have assumed you have been speaking about Carol Danvers, as a result of Kamala didn’t exist but; Marvel’s first Muslim superhero to headline her personal sequence was created in 2013 by G. Willow Wilson and Sana Amanat. But younger actor Iman Vellani has arrived because the titular superhero.

We didn’t get a lot footage of Vellani because the Pakistani-American teenager, however what we did get units up the Ms. Marvel sequence properly. Right now, the one method to view the brand new clips is if you happen to already subscribe to Disney+. For those that don’t, we’ll describe what we will for you. We see Kamala at some kind of Captain Marvel museum or show, trying up in awe at a shiny flying statue of the hero—she’s clearly a giant fan of Captain Marvel. Interestingly, in a scene harking back to the one wherein Carol Danvers acquired her personal powers, Kamala is blown backward by some kind of vitality whereas she’s standing in a crowd. Presumably that is the place she will get these stretching and “embiggening” powers—or one thing barely totally different, if rumors are to be believed. We additionally hear a bit about her inside battle as she believes “it’s not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world.” (If you’ve learn the comics, you understand higher.) There’s additionally a really fast shot of what could also be a four-person villain gang hanging out in a whole lot of smoke and, as her good friend cheers her on, Kamala makes a large leap off a constructing and we will see her flying in a mirrored image of one other constructing.

Honestly, Vellani appears excellent as Khan. Amusingly, we didn’t get a have a look at her in her official outfit, only a low-cost Captain Marvel costume. Some paparazzi photographs from the filming of the present leaked final 12 months, which means we already knew what she was going to be sporting and the way extremely correct to Ms. Marvel’s comics costume, initially designed by Jamie McKelvie, it could be—proper right down to the stylized lightning bolt throughout her chest. Which is admittedly somewhat bizarre, because it was impressed by Carol Danvers’ Ms. Marvel outfit, which Carol has by no means worn within the MCU.

Ms. Marvel additionally stars Matt Lindt as her greatest good friend Bruno, Zenobia Shroff as her mom Muneeba, Mohan Kapur as her father Yusuf, Saagar Shaikh as her brother Ami, and Aramis Knight as Kareem, aka the Red Dagger. The six-episode sequence will function a prequel to the Captain Marvel sequel film The Marvels, starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Teyonah Perris as Monica Rambeau, and Vellani, and can premiere in 2022.
