Iman Vellani as the joyous Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel;
MS. MARVEL WAS one of the most refreshing superhero outings in a long time — abright, colourful and hopeful show, all swirling around Iman Vellani’s delightfully fizzy performance. Her Kamala Khan is your everyday awkward Pakistani-American teenager, obsessed with the Avengers and trying to survive adolescence — oh, and she happens to have superpowers herself. Sana Amanat, who co-created the character for Marvel Comics in 2013, and was the series’ executive producer, tells us what it’s been like seeing Kamala become flesh and blood and be so wholeheartedly embraced.
