Ms Marvel on Disney+ — What You Need To Know

Marvel are opening more doors! They’ve taken another comic book character and created a new series around them. This time, though, the character is a teenaged Muslim girl, played by a first-time actor.

Who Is Ms Marvel?

Ms Marvel is the alter ego of Kamala Khan who worships Captain Marvel to the point of playing her at cosplay events. She feels out of step with the others at her school for a variety of reasons. But when she develops superpowers she can’t help but wonder where they came from: are they real, or is it just her powerful imagination?

Behind The Camera

As this is a mini-series rather than a film there are a number of directors responsible for a few episodes each; Adil El Arbi and Bilail Fallah (Bad Boys For Life), Meera Menon (For All Mankind, The Walking Dead), and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Saving Face, A Girl In The River). Between them there is a wide range of award-winning directorial skills.

The story was created for television by Bisha K Ali who had previously contributed to the TV series’ Loki, Four Weddings And A Funeral, and Sex Education.

Release Date(s)

The series was launched on Disney+ on the 8^th of June 2022, with new episodes coming out each week for six weeks. Apart, that is, from Pakistan: it had a theatrical release on the 16^th of June due to Disney+ not being available there.

First Look Trailer

Cast

In the lead, we have Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel. Iman is a newcomer but acquits herself marvelously in the role. It might just be me but there were times when she reminded me of a young Maisie Williams around the time she was becoming a global megastar portraying Arya Stark across the entirety of Game Of Thrones.

Alongside Iman are her school friends Bruno (Matt Lintz – The Walking Dead, Pixels, The Alienist) and Nakia (Yasmeen Fletcher – Let Us In, Upside-Down Magic).

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Characters, So Far, In Ms Marvel

As well as the main protagonists there are the Khan family (several generations of them), The Clandestines, the DODC, and the Red Daggers. These are various factions who are either protecting or attacking Ms Marvel depending on where you are in the story!

Ms Marvel’s Backstory

Kamala Khan lives with her very protective family in New Jersey. She suffered at the hands of the ‘popular’ kids at school because she is seen as being geeky, thanks to her fascination with Captain Marvel. There is a big cosplay competition coming up and she will be entering with the help of her friends. At least, she thinks it is only cosplay…

Sequels?

This is a Marvel production and, because of that, there is a mid-credit sequence after the last episode. Obviously, spoilers forbid me from saying what happens but, immediately afterward, it does say “MS. MARVEL will return in THE MARVELS” — but that’s not due out until November 2023.
