At a press conference for the series, Vellani described it as ” the brownest way” this could happen.

“February 2020, I get the WhatsApp forward. I thought it was a scam. I don’t know what casting calls look like but they are not white pages that say, ‘Ms Marvel, Disney+ and headshot and resume here’.”

The actress then continued to tell that she forwarded the needful which included her resume and her photograph. ” I was making excuses for myself out of fear of failure. And at, like, 3:00 a.m. the night it was due, I sent in my self-tape. I was like, my 10-year-old self is gonna hate me if I don’t even try. And two days later I get a call.” She added, “They’re like, do you have a lawyer? We wanna fly you to LA and I was like, I have a math test, but okay. And next thing, I’m in LA with my dad.”

The series also stars Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, Lauren Marsden and Azhar Usman. The series consists of six episodes.

And I think they just saw how much I love this world and gave me the opportunity and the trust to bring Kamala to life“, expressed Vellani.
