Ms. Marvel will be following the adventures of Kamala Khan, who is a Muslim teenager who idolizes Captain Marvel and all other Marvel heroes. She uses her newfound powers to fight crime in Jersey City. The Ms. Marvel series is being showrun by Four Weddings and a Funeral‘s Bisha K. Ali along with The Punisher director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, and The Magicians director Meera Menon also helming episodes of the series.

“The fact that the show is being made and they’re including this character in the MCU is [what’s important],” Vellani explained during a recent interview. “I don’t really have to go out of my way and talk about being a Muslim and being Pakistani – it all comes out in the show. People seeing a person like me involved in a project as big as this is, I think, inspiring enough.”

During a recent investor call, it was revealed that Ms. Marvel will make its debut during the fourth quarter of 2022, which means that it will premiere sometime next summer. We don’t have an exact release date by Marvel yet.

“Sometimes it can go into a feature then back into a series,” said Feige. “We’ve announced that Ms. Marvel, after her debut on Disney+, will be going into the second Captain Marvel film, but sometimes, and yet to be announced, we are thinking of and planning second seasons for some of the upcoming series.”
