Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel

Marvel is letting directors and writers play and create their own show based on their character.

Some of those films feature young people who are portrayed by actual young people, like you.

Do you feel like that helped you get into her mindset?

I lived her life.

Kamala Khan is the first Muslim superhero in the MCU.

How does that impact the show at large?

Its important to showcase children of immigrant parents who are proud of their culture and dont neglect it.

You mentioned the creative team, which is more diverse than we have historically seen.

How did that impact your experience?

Then two or three years later, I got to meet her.

She has kind of been my rock throughout this entire process and is basically my older sister.

In the comics, theres a thread in Kamalas story about feeling an element of invisibility.

Is that part of this story?

So immediately, she gets powers and thinks, I have to be Captain Marvel.

I have to do what Captain Marvel would do.

What are you most excited about for everything beyond this show?

Sharing a screen with those incredible women was so empowering.

But, right now, my head is just everythingMs.
