MS. MARVEL Directors Believe A Decision On Season 2 Won't Be Made Until After THE MARVELS Is Released

Ms. Marvel remains Marvel Studios' best-reviewed TV show, so why haven't we heard anything about a second season? Filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah share their take on Kamala Khan's MCU future!

Warner Bros. Discovery's widely criticised decision to scrap Batgirl means that movie is what most people now think about when they see Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah's names. 

However, before they supposedly delivered an "unreleasable" take on Barbara Gordon, they helmed some of the best episodes of Ms. Marvel. As you might expect, that left many fans questioning the studio's claims they'd shot a movie bad enough that it will never be allowed to see the light of day! 

While El Arbi and Fallah have said they would be open to returning to the DC Universe, it's hard to believe they would ever trust Warner Bros. again. However, seeing as Ms. Marvel was such a hit for Disney+ and Marvel Studios, might they consider returning for season 2?

"We’re waiting for 'The Marvels,' so that will decide what the next step will be," El Arbi tells The Playlist. "So we’re very much looking forward to that. I can’t wait to see it, man. It’s great to see the trailers and to see the whole family back there and Iman Vellani doing great work, so looking forward to that."

He adds, "Well, you know, if they ask us to come back to 'Ms. Marvel,' we love the universe, we love those characters, and Iman, and all of the other supporting actors there, so it would be an honor to come back and explore some more."

"There is a Moroccan superhero we forgot to name that exists, so we can go there. And, you know, we love ‘Blade.’ Our buddy Yann Demange is now doing 'Blade.' If Yann doesn’t want to do the second movie, we’re still there. And 'Deadpool' - we’re always there for 'Deadpool.' If there’s a fourth one, we’re also game, so if they call us, we’re good."

These two clearly want to dive back into the world of superheroes and we're sure Kamala Khan's story won't end after a team-up with Captain Marvel and Photon! A second season would give Marvel Studios the opportunity to better explore the hero's place in the MCU and what she does next after working alongside her idol.

Ms. Marvel season 1 was a six-episode origin story, so another batch of episodes can bring some of her villains from the comics into this shared world and perhaps even dive into what it means for this teenager to be a mutant! 

What are your hopes for Ms. Marvel's future on screen?

Makes sense but I was hoping for a new season.

The episodes directed by El Arbi and Fallah were great, hope they come back (and that WB does right by them and gives em another franchise!)

At this point, Marvel/Disney is trying to outrun DC/WB but unfortunately in a bad way.

This show had heart. I think a second season would be good. I just really wish they kept her original powers. This "bangle" generated power thing feels so, "blegh".

@PC04 - maybe they will say the bangle just activated her mutant powers, so she won't have to rely on it moving forward?..and i also loved the heart of this show

@soupysales - They probably will say something like that with the bangle. Depends on what they ens up doing with them after "The Marvels" as they seem to be playing a big role in the movie based on the trailers with the bad girl having the other one. They could end up having to destroy them because they're too powerful or something but then Kamala discovers she still has her powers and doesn't need the bangle. Or something like that.

"We only care about money, no money, no sequel" some asshole at Disney, here's looking at you Kevin

@bobevanz - yes, amazingly disney is in the business of money making. I know, they've been forgetting that fact recently.

@bobevanz - Why would anyone make a sequel of something if the two appearances of the character have already not made them money?

I hope so, not only does Iman seem like a super nice person, but she's also a fan like the rest of us and deserves more screen time!

I also really liked learning more about the history of India, Pakistan and Partition

@KaptainKhaos - id say give her a solo movie that soft reboots her. We don't need to continue the show. Just something to keep her in the franchise.

The fact she regularly argues with feige about how the mcu isn't earth 616 is enough for me to want her to stay for the long haul.

@Origame - why soft reboot? That's just unnecessary. The more easy option is just to not mention the show then
Origame
Origame - 9/12/2023, 5:29 PM
@bkmeijer1 - ...so a soft reboot? Because what you described is a soft reboot. It's when the previous continuity happened, but is largely ignored.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 9/13/2023, 2:37 AM
@Origame - that's not how I'd describe a soft reboot. Soft reboot in me eyes is just recasting secondary characters and changing bits of backstory (and a full reboot is to start over with a completely new cast and story)

Aquaman and The Marvels will both deal the final blows to the genre. This isn't me saying either will be bad or anything. It's just obvious that people are not interested. There's been a steady decline in interest for DC and Marvel over the last two years. That isn't to say there isn't or won't be the occasional successful film. But gone are the days of the billion dollar superhero film.

I'd be surprised at this point if Avengers 5 can even hit 1B. Maybe if it was released today, but we still have like 3 years, and people are already over the Kang story.
