‘Ms. Marvel’ Movie Is ‘Definitely in the Works’
The teen Muslim hero is headed to the big screen according to studio head Kevin Feige.
In an interview with a Middle Eastern reporter for the BBC, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige dropped a bombshell: the studio has plans for everyone’s favorite teen hero Ms. Marvel.
Captain Marvel is shooting right now with Brie Larson. Ms. Marvel which is another character in the comics … the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel is definitely, sort of “in the works.” We have plans for that once we introduce Captain Marvel to the world.
OH MY GOD! It’s happening! It is not a drill! We’ve been thrilled as Kamala has turned up in video games, LEGO sets and the occasional cartoon. But the casual announcement that there are movie plans for the pioneering Muslim hero came seemingly out of nowhere.
Marvel has been very tight lipped regarding what we can expect in their “Phase 4” movie slate, refusing to release titles until after next year’s Avengers 4. But it looks like we can add one title to the mystery list:
Ms. Marvel
Pakistani-American teen Kamala Khan idolized her hero Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel. When her Inhuman genes are activated by the terrigen mists, Kamala develops superhuman powers that she uses to protect her hometown of Jersey City as Ms. Marvel.
Ms. Marvel Swings into Action in New LEGO Playset
Kamala Khan makes her first LEGO minifig appearance, joining the previously announced She-Hulk in upcoming sets we’re excited about.
Amazon Japan released photos of LEGO Group’s newest Marvel Superheroes playset, #76076: Captain America Jet Pursuit — which is set for release early next year. The set allows you to play as Cap, duking it out with B-list villain the “Super-Adaptoid” while piloting a jet. While all of that seems perfectly nice, the real excitement is the other hero that’s included in the box: Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel.
While Cap has dozens of minifig versions to his name, this is the first time that Ms. Marvel has been rendered as a fig, and LEGO went all-out. To replicate her stretchy shapeshifting powers, LEGO has given her a set of elongated poseable arms connected to massive fists that are unique to Kamala.
It’s also the first time Super Adaptoid has been a minifig. Probably. I mean. honestly who cares? We have Kamala Khan here!
With the addition of Kamala, this set actually manages to one-up the previous coolest announced upcoming set, Hulk vs. Red Hulk, which qs unveiled at San Diego ComicCon this year. It features the first ever minifigs of She-Hulk, Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk. As well as some giant dune-buggy things that I assume the Hulks will throw at one another while yelling, “Hulk Smash!”
