It’s been a long time coming for the younger generation of superheroes to make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and so far, we haven’t been disappointed. Joining the Disney+ debut circuit (alongside Kate Bishop in the series Hawkeye) comes Kamala Khan in her first outing in Ms. Marvel. The series, directed in part by Meera Menon, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Adil El Arbi, and Bilall Farrah, was created by Bisha K. Ali and gives Kamala Khan, the beloved Pakistani-American hero from Marvel comics, her time to shine on the screen.

Kamala Khan makes history for the Marvel Cinematic Universe by being the first Muslim superhero, and she flies in with bright colors, a bubbly personality, and a love for the Avengers that rivals our own as fans of the franchise. And the first two episodes of the Disney+ are a joyous introduction to Kamala Khan. Played by Iman Vellani, we get to see her come into her own with her powers while sharing her love of the Avengers with her best friend Bruno (Matt Lintz), even if it causes tensions in her relationship with her parents.
