The first full-length trailer for Ms. Marvel is adorable, fun, and exciting. The new series is full of excellent directorial decisions and features Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel.
The June 8th streaming date was revealed by the Disney+ poster for the new series. In the trailer, Khan tries to balance high school, family, and super powers in a coming-of-age story that the Disney+ Marvel shows have been missing. This kind of teenage camp has been absent from superhero films of late, and while Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse did an excellent job, it is a delight to see Vellani taking up the mantle of Awkward Kid, Awkward.
In the comics, Kamala is a fan-fiction-writing, daydreamer who wants to be like her hero, Captain Marvel. She doesn't fit in at home among her muslim family who think that she has become too American, and her struggles at high school are the usual fare of mean girls, hot boys.
The Ms. Marvel comics have been off the shelves for a long time. After its initial release, it won multiple awards and continues to sell well. The character quickly became a fan favorite and has appeared in multiple games, spinoffs, shows and other adaptions. Seeing her take center stage for her show is an exciting step as she is the first original comic character to be released on Disney+. Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy are part of the team. Bisha K. Ali is the writer.
Disney+ will show Ms. Marvel on June 8.
