We had previously seen Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, but now we know what her costumed alter ego Ms. Marvel will look like for the upcoming Disney+ series Ms. Marvel. The look is very similar to the comics version of the character and Vellani looks great in the red and blue uniform. The show is expected to air late this year on Disney+.

Ms. Marvel is a new series that introduces Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old Pakistani-American growing up in Jersey City, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The synopsis explains, “A great student, an avid gamer, and a voracious fanfiction scribe, she has a special affinity for superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. But Kamala struggles to fit in at home and at school–that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life is easier with superpowers, right?”
Joining Vellani in the lead role are Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Naki, Azher Usman, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha.

The project was first confirmed at last year’s D23 event, with British writer Bisha K. Ali (Four Weddings and a Funeral) attached to write and run the series, while Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige also confirmed that she along with Moon Knight and She-Hulk will all eventually make their way to the big screen.
