Marvel Studios has finally released the first trailer and poster for Ms. Marvel along with confirmation that the series launches on Disney+ on June 8. In this unique sneak peek, we learn more about how the MCU's newest superhero will balance high school life, her family, and her emerging superpowers.
The footage confirms that Kamala Khan's powers are the result of a cosmic artefact (likely Nega-Bands) rather than the teenager being an Inhuman. However, these Green Lantern-style abilities still give Ms. Marvel the chance to unleash something very similar to her Embiggening abilities in the comics.
"Ms. Marvel is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City," reads the newly revealed synopsis for the highly anticipated series. "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. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?"
It's also been confirmed that joining Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel are Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, and Nimra Bucha.
Bisha K. Ali is the show's Head Writer, while episodes were directed by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. We're intrigued to see where Ms. Marvel goes, and it's certainly looking like the character will be an exciting new addition to the MCU.
