The episodes of the series were directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who helmed ‘Bad Boys for Life,’ Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a two-time Oscar winner in the documentary short category, and Meera Menon, who has worked on programmes like ‘The Walking Dead.’
On June 8, Marvel Studios’ first onscreen Muslim hero, ‘Ms Marvel,’ will premiere on Disney Plus. Iman Vellani plays as Kamala Khan, nicknamed Ms Marvel, a Muslim American adolescent growing up in Jersey City, in the first teaser for the series.
“She has the key to the future. Ms. Marvel, a Marvel Studios Original Series, will premiere on @DisneyPlus on June 8th “read Tuesday’s message from Marvel Studios’ Twitter account.
Kamala is an ardent gamer and voracious fan-fiction author with an expansive imagination, according to Deadline, especially when it comes to Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Kamala, on the other hand, believes she doesn’t belong at school, or even at home, unless she gains superpowers like her heroes.
