Iman Vellani shares an exciting update on her future as Ms. Marvel in the MCU.
“It’s just been the most validating thing for me coming out of it,” Vellani said. “I don’t value the glitz and the glamor of it. I used to stream all of the Marvel premieres on YouTube when it happened, I went deep! It’s so bizarre, but this whole thing has validated my fandom. All the comics I read when I was a kid, all the movies I watched frame by frame… I’m only started reading the comics to validate myself as a fan!”
In addition to being cast as Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel, Vellani also wrote for the comic book series Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant. “Isn’t it the most… powerful thing in the world to contribute to the source material?” she said. “At some point in time, they’re gonna run out of comics to use, and then they’re gonna get to mine!”
Vellani’s role as Ms. Marvel is far from over. While there are no confirmed sequels for Ms. Marvel or The Marvels, Vellani will lend her voice to the character in the upcoming Marvel Zombies animated series.
Both Ms. Marvel and The Marvels can be streamed on Disney+.
