Marvel Studios Has Plans for MS. MARVEL After They Introduce Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers isn’t the only Marvel headed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has revealed in an interview with the BBC that Marvel Studios does have plans for Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel to make her way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though he left the exact state of those plans pretty vague.
“Captain Marvel‘s shooting right now with Brie Larson,” Feige said. “Ms. Marvel, which is another character in the comic books, the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel, is definitely sort of in the works. We have plans for that once we introduce Captain Marvel.”
Kamala Khan was created in 2013 by editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, writer G. Willow Wilson, and artist Adrian Alphona, first appearing in Captain Marvel #14 and then debuting in her own comic book series a few months later with Ms. Marvel #1.
Khan is a young Muslim girl living in Jersey City who idolizes superheroes, especially Carol Danvers. When a Terrigen Mist cloud wafts over the city, Khan undergoes Terrigenesis and discovers she’s an Inhuman. Her powers include the ability to change her size and shape and to heal.
Khan becomes a local superhero using the persona of Ms. Marvel, the identity that Carol Danvers left behind when she took up the mantle of Captain Marvel. Since then, Ms. Marvel has become an integral part of the Marvel universe superhero community, joining the Avengers, the Protectors, and helping to launch a new version of the Champions.
Ms. Marvel has already appeared in animation in Avengers Assemble. She’ll next appear in the upcoming animated movie Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors, which showcases many of Marvel’s new generation of characters.
