New Set Photos From Marvel's MS. MARVEL Reveal Kamala Khan's Full Costume
Some new photos from the set of Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Ms. Marvel have surfaced online and they reveal the full costume that Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan will be sporting in the movie. It’s a pretty cool-looking costume that looks very much like the comic book design.
The Ms. Marvel series is being developed by British writer Bisha K. Ali, who is writting the series and also serves as showrunner. Ali is a comedian who also worked as a writer on Hulu’s remake of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The series will be inspired by the most recent incarnation of the character, a teenager named Kameaa Khan. Ms. Marvel is a shape-shifting Muslim Pakistani-American teenager from New Jersey who becomes the newest holder of the Ms. Marvel identity. She is the youngest of two children from a traditional Pakistani family. Her powers have been described as polymorphous, meaning she has the ability to stretch and change her shape.
Despite her traditional roots, Kamala was the typical American teenager. Wanting to be herself, but still make her family proud. For several years, Kamala was a fan of superheroes especially the Avengers and, more importantly, Carol Danvers. So much, in fact, that she started writing online fan-fiction about the Avengers and Captain Marvel. Even going as far as joining the Carol Danvers Corps online.
Bad Boys For Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have signed up to direct multiple episodes of the series along with Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a two-time Oscar winner in the documentary short category, as well as Meera Menon, who has previously directed episodes of The Walking Dead, The Punisher, Titans, Dirty John, and Outlander.
