Despite her confusion, Parris submitted her audition. Becoming a Marvel superhero had been a dream of hers since she was a child, after all, and she wasn’t about to miss the chance to become one, even if she didn’t know what role in the MCU she was up for. “I was so confused,” she admitted. “And they don t give you any context I didn t even know the character; it just said, like, ‘Lady.’”
That “Lady,” we all now know, turned out to be Monica Rambeau, the daughter of Carol Danvers’ best friend in
Captain Marvel, who was played in the 90s-era MCU film by the young Akira Akbar.
