MCU introduces first Muslim superhero in Ms Marvel’s first gripping trailer
Disney Plus has unleashed the first action-packed trailer for Ms. Marvel. The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe series introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim-American teenager growing up in Jersey City who tries to balance her high school life and her friends, while coming to terms with her emerging super powers. “An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel,” the official synopsis reads. “Yet Kamala feels invisible both at home and at school—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to.
Life gets better with super powers, right?” Kamala, the MCU’s first Muslim superhero, is played by Canadian newcomer Iman Vellani.
The supporting cast also includes Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha.
American comedian Jordan Firstman, known for writing and producing for shows such as Big Mouth, Search Party and The Other Two, appears in the trailer as Kamala’s high school counsellor/advisor.
