After much anticipation, Ms. Marvel was unveiled last night at the world premiere in Los Angeles. The latest series from Marvel Studios will start streaming on Disney Plus next week. It tells the story of Kamala Khan, a teenager of Pakistani descent who lives in New Jersey and finds her dreams of being a superhero coming to life.
Kamala, played by Pakistani-Canadian Iman Vellani, is a first generation Muslim immigrant. The character is being celebrated worldwide as being a step forward in the representation of Muslims and South Asians in the mainstream media. The rest of the cast is also fittingly representative and this was evident on the red carpet yesterday.

Perhaps most exciting for us folks back home, however, were the familiar faces that we’ve so often seen on our own screens. Nimra Bucha, who’s appearance in the series was confirmed with a brief cameo in the trailer, was seen gracing the red carpet.⚡ @saagarshaikh, AKA Aamir, arrives at the Launch Event! #MsMarvel pic.twitter.com/0qxEnOdrLZ
