New set photos offer a first look at the live-action Ms. Marvel's superhero costume.Originally posted by JustJared, the photos show 16-year-old actor Iman Vellani on the Atlanta, GA set of Ms. Marvel, one of several Marvel Studios' shows forthcoming on Dinsey+. This is the first look at Vellani, who plays the titular hero Kamala Khan, dressed in her full, comics accurate superhero costume.
This is the first full look at Ms. Marvel's costume, which remains true to her red and blue costume from the comics, whereas previous set photos only offered a small glimpse. Set photos of Vellani in a Captain Marvel suit were recently posted on social media, hinting not only at the "No Normal" comic storyline but at Kamala Khan's homemade costume, which has a similar red and blue color scheme.
The Ms. Marvel suit is not the only comic accurate detail in the Disney+ series: the show will also include Kamala Khan's passion for fanfiction, as she is an avid fanfiction writer with the handle "SlothBaby."
Kamala Khan made her comics debut in 2012. The Disney+ series Ms. Marvel will, like the comics, follow Pakistani-American teen Kamala Khan as the titular hero, who was Marvel's first Muslim character to star in her own series and will be the MCU's first onscreen Muslim hero.
Directed by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Ms. Marvel stars Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Laurel Marsden, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Naki, Azher Usman, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha. The series will stream on Disney+ in late 2021.
