New set photos shared by director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy confirm that reshoots are officially underway for Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ original series Ms. Marvel, which is slated to premiere later this year.
On her Instagram story, Obaid-Chinoy shared two new photos. The first photo shows what appears to be some sort of set being erected, with the director adding a sticker that reads, "play time." Meanwhile, the second photo showcases three director's chairs, all of which bear the official Ms. Marvel logo. Principal photography on the series initially wrapped in Thailand back in May 2021.
One of the numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe-set shows slated to hit Disney+ in the near future, Ms. Marvel is currently expected to premiere this summer. The series stars Iman Vellani as main protagonist Kamala Khan. Created by Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona and Jamie McKelvie, Kamala Khan first appeared in 2013's Captain Marvel #14. She is the fourth Marvel Comics character to assume the mantle of Ms. Marvel, following Carol Danvers, Sharon Ventura and Karla Sofen.
In addition to Vellani, Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel stars Aramis Knight as Kareem/Red Dagger, Saagar Shaikh as Amir Khan, Rish Shah as Kamran, Matt Lintz as Bruno Carrelli, Zenobia Shroff as Muneeba Khan, Mohan Kapur as Yusuf Khan and Laurel Marsden as Zoe Zimmer. Meanwhile, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, Nimra Bucha, Alyy Khan, Alysia Reiner, Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat have been cast in undisclosed roles.
Ms. Marvel follows Vellani's Kamala, a young superhero-to-be who idolizes Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, who herself is played in the MCU by Brie Larson. Carol first appeared in the 2019 Marvel Studios film Captain Marvel, with Larson subsequently reprising her role in Avengers: Endgame that same year. Following her solo series, Vellani will reprise her role as Kamala opposite Larson's Carol in The Marvels, which serves as both a follow-up to Ms. Marvel and a sequel to Captain Marvel. The Marvels is slated to hit theaters on Feb. 17, 2023.
However, The Marvels doesn't have two leads -- it has three. The Captain Marvel sequel also stars Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, an agent of S.W.O.R.D. who herself once assumed the mantle of Captain Marvel in the original Marvel comic books. A young Monica was portrayed by both Akira and Azari Akbar in Captain Marvel. Parris then took over as a grown-up version of the character in the 2021 Disney+ series WandaVision.
Ms. Marvel is created for Disney+ by Bisha K. Ali, who also serves as the series' head writer. The show is directed by Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon and the aforementioned Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The show is expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime during summer 2022.
