  • First Look at ‘Ms. Marvel’ Disney+ Show Released

    First Look at ‘Ms. Marvel’ Disney+ Show Released

    Just a few weeks ago, we were covering some BTS photos from the set of Ms. Marvel. Well, Marvel Studios wasn’t going to hide it too long from us, as they released a short sizzle reel that gives us a little insight into the story of Kamala Khan. It isn’t just interviews with the team behind the project but they also inserted some footage that teased the Muslim superheroes’ daily life. Sadly, we didn’t get a look at her abilities but they did confirm it will release in 2021.

    It doesn’t end there, as they also revealed a brand new logo and that she will definitely appear in Captain Marvel 2. She will also star alongside the returning Monica Rambeau, who will once again be played by Teyonah Parris.

  • Additional ‘MS. MARVEL’ Casting Revealed!

    Additional ‘MS. MARVEL’ Casting Revealed!

    This week gave us a big drop of casting news for the Disney Plus Hawkeye series, which began filming in New York, but there hasn’t been much casting leaked for Ms. Marvel as of yet. Well, this is where the fans come in big time. A recent conversation with a certain Ms. Marvel fan shed some light on casting that she confirmed with a source of her own, along with her own research. 

    The fan asked to remain anonymous but kindly shared the casting information with me, and after a bit of research of my own, I believe it is very likely legit. To be clear, I cannot 100% confirm all of this casting or the characters played at this time, but yeah. I believe it. 

    First off, according to the source, Sheikh Abdullah is being played by Laith Nakli (Ramy, The Blacklist, 24: Legacy, The Long Road Home). Some of his social media follows and a few posts appear to support this too.

    In addition, we’re told Kamala’s mother Muneeba is being played by Zenobia Shroff (The Big Sick, The Affair) and Yasmeen Fletcher (Upside-Down Magic, Let Us In, Andi Mack) was cast as Kamala Khan’s friend Nakia Bahadir.

    Ms. Marvel stars Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. The streaming date is currently unknown but expect to see her pop up in the MCU some time before the show airs!

  • Matt Lintz Cast as Bruno Carrelli in ‘Ms. Marvel’

    Matt Lintz Cast as Bruno Carrelli in ‘Ms. Marvel’

    Today we were graced with our first look at Ms.Marvel, one of many Marvel Studios shows coming to Disney Plus. Ms.Marvel will follow Kamala Khan, played by newcomer Iman Vellani, as she comes into her own as a hero, inspired by the heroic feats of Captain Marvel. After acquiring fantastic abilities of elasticity, Kamala begins her journey to becoming one of the newest heroes of the MCU in a post-Endgame world.

    Today’s photos not only gave us our first look at Vellani as Kamala but also of actor Matt Lintz (The Walking Dead, The Alienist). Given the familiarity of these two in the photos, Lintz is quite obviously playing the role of Bruno Carrelli, friend and trusted confidant of Kamala Kahn. Carrelli, a humble employee of Circle Q, is one of the only people to know the secret of Kamala’s alter ego as well as possessing a genius-level IQ of 170, serving as an asset to Kamala while she’s out fighting crime.

    Ms.Marvel currently has no release date but is set to stream exclusively on the Disney Plus streaming service with episodes directed by Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and Meera Menon.

  • ‘MS. MARVEL’: Shedding Some Light on Today’s Set Pictures.

    ‘MS. MARVEL’: Shedding Some Light on Today’s Set Pictures.

    We finally got our first look at Iman Vellani in character as Kamala Khan through some set pictures that seem to cover different scenes from the upcoming Ms. Marvel Disney+ show.

    In these pictures, we get to see Kamala riding a bike, her go-to mode of transportation, while displaying her Carol Danvers love by wearing a Captain Marvel helmet. But the more interesting set is the one where we see her at night, with a friend (most likely Bruno Carrelli, that ended up being the only of Kamala’s friends that knew of her Ms. Marvel secret identity), on what should be her parent’s house doorstep.

    The first thing we notice is that both are wearing costumes. Kamala a Captain Marvel one, while Bruno looks an awful lot like Bruce Banner. The helmet he is seen wearing seems a bit out of character, but since Kamala also has her’s attached to her backpack, the explanation should be a simple one: They both were out with their bikes. And why would two highschool kids be out at night? The costumes seem to indicate that this scene should be set during Halloween which makes them being out understandable – and could we be looking at a Halloween 2021 release date? – and it also takes us to a cool reference from Ms. Marvel #1 from 2014.

    The Halloween perspective is interesting. It helps to immediately set up Kamala’s personality, how she loves Carol, and also makes her connection to Bruno an easy one to understand – they both love the Avengers -. It also gives Kamala a reason to stay up late, breaking the curfew her strict parents usually impose on her.

    And that’s what we see Bruno helping her with on the following set pictures. She’s trying to get to her room through her window so as not to compromise herself by using the front door. Could this be the night where she gets her powers? In the comics the night she gets exposed to the Terrigen Mist, which gives her polymorphic powers, she was alone. She had left Bruno behind and got home looking like Captain Marvel as she was still getting used to her powers. So, unless her powers now only surface overnight, like in 2002’s Spider-Man, these shots should be from an earlier night, that might set up the night she gains her powers. Kamala always tried to respect what her parents asked of her, but once she broke curfew there was little stopping her from doing it again. So maybe an honest mistake on Halloween is what made her stay out late later or, as she began her journey as Ms. Marvel.

  • ‘Ms. Marvel’: First Look at the Circle Q

    ‘Ms. Marvel’: First Look at the Circle Q

    Today has been quite the day for fans of Kamala Khan. We’ve gotten our first look at Iman Vellani as the polymorphic Inhuman and gotten a great look at what appears to be a Halloween costume paying tribute to her idol, Carol Danvers. Now, we have our first look at her unofficial headquarters: the Circle Q!

    The Circle Q is a Jersey City convenience store where Kamala’s best friend, Bruno Carrelli, works and where she spends a great deal of time. Of particular interest to the beginning of production on Ms. Marvel, it is also the scene of one of Kamala’s first heroic acts after she receives her powers following the widespread release of the Terrigen Mist.

    Of note and as first reported here, Circle Q is also the name of the production company created for the project, which is operating under the working title “Jersey.”

     

  • ‘Ms. Marvel’ BTS Set Photos Reveal Kamala Khan’s Inner Fangirl

    ‘Ms. Marvel’ BTS Set Photos Reveal Kamala Khan’s Inner Fangirl

    Just today, we got our first look at Iman Vellani as the young hero Kamala Khan. Marvel Studios just recently started shooting the brand new Disney+ series, so finally, we got a look at the show. Well, it looks like that is not all. It seems that the sequence was earlier in the day for a Halloween-themed episode. Some more set pictures got released that show young Kamala fully decked out in probably the best Captain Marvel costume I’ve ever seen. She comes fully equipped with a light-up Mohawk so you know for sure who she is a fan of the iconic character.

    Check out the photos at Just Jared.

    Remember the pictures of people covering costumes in the last article? Well, it looks like those might’ve been them preparing for this specific stunt. She is climbing on the exact same rooftop that we saw earlier. She also has her bicycle helmet on her backpack, so we know this might be the same day. Her friend, who looks like it could be Mitchell Hope, is also in costume as Bruce Banner. He is still wearing his bicycle helmet from earlier yet the lights seem to be a new addition.

    There is also the question of why she seems to be breaking into someone’s house. She might be visiting her friend Nakia, who didn’t join them on Halloween, or she just really wants to prank someone for not sharing candy with them. Of course, it could also be a rebellious Kamala trying to go out for Halloween against her families’ wishes. No matter what, this costume is genius as it is a nice tribute to the comics when Kamala accidentally turned into Carol Danvers after her powers activated. Plus, it just reconfirms that she is a huge fan of the character even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I really hope we get some more showcases of these shows in the near future as we wait for WandaVision to finally kick-off the MCU’s fourth phase.

  • First Look at Kamala Khan on ‘Ms. Marvel’ Set

    First Look at Kamala Khan on ‘Ms. Marvel’ Set

    Marvel Studios is finally starting the production on their various Disney+ projects. WandaVision will get released in January and start the next phase. We are still waiting on any news regarding Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s release, but to tie us over until then, we finally got our first look at Iman Vellani on the set of Ms. Marvel that just recently entered production. It isn’t an action sequence, but we do get some interesting tidbits from her outfit. You can check out the images by clicking here to see them on Just Jared.

    The biggest reveal is that Ms. Marvel will continue to be a massive Captain Marvel fan even in her live-action adaptation. Carol hasn’t been a well-known hero for long in the MCU, as she was off in space. Yet, we did get a tease that she may have been around on earth after the events of Avengers: Infinity War. Danvers may have supported the Avengers after the snap to ensure that those that were left behind remained safe. It looks like she has become a well-known hero to have her merchandise. If you take a closer look at Kamala’s helmet and jacket you can recognize some familiar visuals. It is also a cute addition that she has her initials on the helmet.

    The pictures also include two people hiding what they are wearing. It is rather interesting, as this is commonly used to hide costumes from the comics. Perhaps she is being visited by Kree that realized her potential to become an Inhuman. Even better would be if they were part of Attilan that are viewing people that have the potential to join them. It could be building up to the MCU’s version of the Terrigen Bomb that would change New Jersey.

  • ‘Ms. Marvel’ Casting Four More Supporting Characters Including Sheikh Abdullah

    ‘Ms. Marvel’ Casting Four More Supporting Characters Including Sheikh Abdullah

    Looks like the upcoming Disney+ show Ms. Marvel is still getting its supporting cast together. We are still anxiously waiting for the reveal of the main character’s casting. Still, Kamala Khan has such an extensive cast of supporting characters that it will help flesh out the world of our young hero. Not many of the Avengers we’ve met so far have to deal with family drama. In addition, her religious background will play a key factor in her character and growth. As such, it isn’t surprising that one of the best characters from the comics will appear, Sheikh Abdullah, according to a new report from The Direct.

    SHEIKH, Male, 50 – 70s, Middle Eastern, he’s the Sheikh at the local Mosque. Warm, kind, and understanding, he’s always there to lend an ear. 4/6 eps

    He will most likely have the same role as in the comics. Kamala will most likely confide in him regularly throughout the show’s runtime. It is interesting that his episode count isn’t determined, as they may film additional sequences in case they need to shift it around.

    Of course, we have three more characters that will support Kamala in her journey. There is the mention of a character known as Auntie Ruby. In the comics, Kamala has an aunt named Ayesha but the character is cast to be between 50 – 70. As such, it could be that she is just another person from her mosque or a family friend that Kamala talks to about her problems. There are also the characters Fariha and Aadam included, who are both to be from Sudanese backgrounds and in their 30s. These may also be family friends, especially with Aadam being described as comedic, funny, and smart. Hopefully, this is getting us closer to the official casting of our heroine, as the show is about to enter production soon.
