[English]

BISHA K. ALI Ms. Marvel is a new kind of superhero.

But at the core of all of it, her story's so universal.

KEVIN FEIGE Ms. Marvel's one of the newer characters

in the Marvel comics.

When one comes in that grabs the world's imagination like this, the questions are...

"When are we going to bring Ms. Marvel to the screen?"

SANA AMANAT When Ms. Marvel first came out,

we had such an incredible reaction.

JENNA BERGER It was so incredibly popular because

everybody could see themselves in her.

BISHA K. ALI I never saw a young teenager of color,

specifically a Pakistani, in a comic book. Are you kidding?

SANA AMANAT "You promised you'd be cool."

IMAN VELLANI "I am cool!"

SANA AMANAT The casting process was vast.

When we discovered Iman, we knew that she was Kamala Khan.

KEVIN FEIGE It was a unanimous decision.

IMAN VELLANI Yeah, I can't comprehend this right now.

SANA AMANAT And then, of course, we've got a really

incredible team of directors:

Bilall Fallah, Adil El Arbi,

Meera Menon, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy,

and all of them are taking the material and elevating it.

BISHA K. ALI It's so human. It's about a teenager,

figuring out who she is and about relationships.

Family and friendship is at the heart of the MCU canon.

That's what's so exciting about this story that we're bringing, is that

we're going to introduce you to a new family

that's also going to be part of the wider MCU.
