Amid the stress of a rising second wave of COVID-19, comic book fans found something to celebrate this September. Marvel Studios announced the casting of its first on-screen Muslim superhero, Kamala Khan, the alter-ego of Ms. Marvel.
It should be no surprise then that Marvel Studios decided to capitalize on this success and signed Kamala for her own TV series on Disney+ for an anticipated debut in late 2021.
Earlier this week Disney confirmed Ms. Marvel will also star in Captain Marvel 2 alongside Brie Larson (Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel) and Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau).
