Ms. Marvel Update: There was a time when Disney only featured characters that are limited to a specific region or specific complexion. And it is no secret that it used to be white. The most prominent example of this can be found if we look through the list of Disney princesses. Only recently we find Moana, Tiana securing a place among Cinderella and Rapunzel.
This same revolution has come in the Marvel cinematic universe too which has not long teamed up with Disney+. Before Black Panther, there was no trace of a nonwhite superhero in Marvel’s vast expansion of the superhuman world.
Black Panther aka T’Challa, played by Chadwick Biarkan, for the first time in MCU acquired his own story to represent the Black community and Africa. Now to the list of Marvel’s nonwhite superheroes joins a new name- Ms. Marvel.
The title of Ms. Marvel was previously held by Carol Danvers from her first debut in 1976 till in 2012 when she became Captain Marvel. After the former Ms. Marvel acquires her captaincy, a new teenage girl earned the title of Ms. Marvel- Kamala Khan. This beloved character from Marvel comics is a Pakistani American girl belonging to the Muslim religion.
Now we only got Peter Parker to show us the dilemma and clash that a high school student faces with his superhuman powers. But now since Kamala Khan is also a high school student, we will get to see her navigating through high school life and facing its issues in a newer way that we did not see till now.
But the most significant aspect of this new superhero of MCU is that Ms. Marvel aka Kamala Khan is the first-ever Muslim hero getting featured. This is surely proof of the progress that Disney+ MCU is having in terms of liberalness.
The source of their superhuman power Kamala is a latent Inhuman DNA which makes her inherit shapeshifting power. In 2020 in a Disney+ sizzle reel we first caught a glimpse of the new superhero making her debut. But now we have the full trailer to anticipate a lot more from this teen superhuman girl. Bisha K. Ali has created this American miniseries ‘Ms. Marvel is about the titular character.
