Overview[]
"Ms. Marvel is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?"

Trivia[]
- In August 2019, website TheWrap.com reported that G. Willow Wilson, the co-creator of the Kamala Khan version of Ms. Marvel, told Polygon she is worried that the upcoming live-action "Ms. Marvel" series on Disney+ is going to have a hard time depicting her super-powered abilities. She said: "I think there're some characters who are very much set up for the big screen; they're very naturally sort of cinematic. But with Ms. Marvel, we really weren't interested in creating something that had very obvious film potential. She's got very comic booky powers." Ms. Marvel's superpower is the ability to make any part of her body grow much bigger. "God bless them trying to bring that to live-action. I don't know how that's going to work out in a way that doesn't look really creepy."
- Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) is Marvel's first live-action Muslim hero.
- Maitreyi Ramakrishnan was a fan favorite choice for the role of Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel but stated that she doesn't want to play the character because that Khan is Pakistani and she's Tamil.
- Geraldine Viswanathan and Arisha Razi were both rumored for Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel.
- One of MCU's first superhero origin story not to be released as a film, aside She-Hulk (2022-).
- One of the first MCU projects to feature a Canadian actor as the protagonist (Iman Vellani), aside from Tatiana Maslany in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Simu Liu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Ryan Reynolds in Untitled Deadpool film.
- In May 2012, there were conflicting reports about a Ms. Marvel script in development at Marvel Studios. In March 2014, Kevin Feige confirmed "we've talked a lot" about the character headlining their first film with a female protagonist, while acknowledging she had taken on the mantle of Captain Marvel in the comics.
- Kamala Khan debuted in the Marvel Comics in 2013 as Ms. Marvel. Before her, this mantle was inherited by Carol Danvers, who is now the present Captain Marvel.
- Even though Iman Vellani is the lead actress, she isn't the first in top-billing.
- Casting for Ms. Marvel / Kamala Khan has yet to be announced, but website The Verge reported in August 2019 that comedian and Four Weddings and a Funeral staff writer Bisha K. Ali was reportedly announced as the series' showrunner and is scripted episodes.
- First MCU project to cast an actor as the titular character who does not have any prior acting experience.
