Ms. Marvel has proven to be surprisingly controversial among comic book fans, but with sweeping changes made to Kamala Khan's powers (she's now more Green Lantern than Mister Fantastic), that's not overly surprising. Very few details have been revealed about the Disney+ series, but some new promo art puts the spotlight on the heroic Red Dagger.
Played by Aramis Knight (Into the Badlands), the hero looks near identical to the comic books.
Created by G. Willow Wilson and Mirka Andolfo, the character first appeared in 2016's Ms. Marvel #12. He's Kamala's cousin and took on his Red Dagger moniker while living in Pakistan. The hero would later participate in a student exchange program that bought him into Kamala's life in New Jersey.
Elsewhere in this promo art, we see more of Kamala, some of her illustrations of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and lots of hints about what to expect from New Jersey's Avengercon. An event celebrating The Avengers, it's there that Kamala will don her homemade Captain Marvel costume before becoming a superhero herself...and eventually teaming up with the real Carol Danvers in The Marvels!
Ms. Marvel premieres on Disney+ on June 8.
