Disney+ has revealed the first official trailer forMs. Marvel, which tees up the arrival of a fan-favorite comics character in her own solo series as a part of the MCU’s Phase Four. The show stars newcomerIman Vellanias Kamala Khan, an ordinary teenager from Jersey City who writes her own fanfiction (mostly about her idol Captain Marvel) and eventually finds herself the recipient of unexpected powers. The six-episode TV series is slated to premiere on Disney+ on June 8.
The first trailer gives us an illustrative crash course into the mind of Kamala Khan, who seems to spend a lot of her time with her head in the clouds, daydreaming about becoming her favorite superhero or privately harboring a crush on a boy she likes. Of course, just when Kamala decides she needs to return to reality again is when she ends up on the receiving end of incredible powers; however, it looks as if their origin has been tweaked a little from the comics, with Kamala able to create and harness energy instead of changing her size or being able to stretch her limbs.
Production on the Disney+ seriesconcluded back in Mayof 2021, and we also got the exciting confirmation earlier that same month that Kamala would be making an appearance inCaptain MarvelsequelThe Marvels, with the “S” from the official Ms. Marvel logo showing up in the Marvels version when the title was officially revealed. In addition toBrie Larson’s Carol Danvers, the superhero sequel will also feature another Marvel inTeyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau, who made her debut in Disney+ showWandaVisionlast year.
