Marvel Studios describes the show: "Introduces Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old Pakistani American from Jersey City. An aspiring artist, an avid gamer, and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, she is a huge fan of the Avengers, and one in particular, Captain Marvel. But Kamala has always struggled to find her place in the world—that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she's always looked up to. Iman Vellani, a Pakistani-Canadian actress, stars as Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel".

Created by Bisha K. Ali, "Ms. Marvel" will premiere on July 8th as a part of Phase Four of the MCU. The series will serve as a set-up for the film The Marvels (2023), in which Vellani will reprise her role as Khan along with additional cast members from the series.
