"Don't even try!" Ms. Marvel's Iman Vellani and Rish Shah on who's the biggest Marvel nerd

She’s a life long Marvel fan who’s now playing a superhero. She’s literally living all of our dreams. So happy for her and the casting couldn’t be more perfect!

[@LordSeth-hf8ew]

yeah, just realised im kinda jelly

[@kant12]

The real dream is when she gets to help decide what goes into Phase 7.

[@waqarkhan25]

this is every fanboy & girl's dream to be in the marvel universe but this only happens in Hollywood, not in real life

[@Notaweebiswear]

I loved that the creator of the comics also said she is the embodiment of what Kamala Khan was supposed to be. It always takes me back to Taika Waititi saying when cast a kid, they always look for a personality as close to the written character as possible, so they only have to remember lines. She is quite literally made for this role

[@Ironhart]

well said!!!!

[@TheFiddleFaddle]

Even more than her being a huge Marvel fan, her being a huge Ali Plumb fan is delightful.

[@SpiderManMCUniverse]

Anyone who’s not a fan of the dude clearly has something wrong with them. There’s just something different about him (in a good way obviously).

As a South Asian Muslim girl who also happens to be the biggest MCU geek, I am living for Iman Vellani and her big geek energy. She is not only representing all of us, she's living our dream. Go girl. Live your life to the fullest and hopefully we'll get to live our dreams through you. It feels amazing to see one of us out these being the MCU hero ❤️

[@hasnainrana6416]

Awesome!!!! I’m happy for u! Also I am Muslim and Pakistani American, and I simply could not stop smiling while watching Ms Marvel! I could totally relate to Kamala! I’m literally the male version of her (I am a total nerd and geek…luv the MCU and dc and Star Wars, and transformers etc…) and I love to draw just like her, and I also have attention problems in school, my head is always in the clouds, and the way she sees the world is how I see it..like I imagine things all around me just like her, like my entire life during long car rides I look out the window and imagine my fav characters flying or swinging around beside the car in the sky… and I’m also the same age 🤯 !…also my mom grew up in Jersey City and a lot of my family lives in Jersey City, I’ve been visiting Jersey City ever since I was born, I was actually born in Jersey City! also keep up the good work Iman Vellani! Thanks for representing people like me!

[@anxiouscookie6239]

@@Melko_277 bro don't talk about things you don't know. Iman and Kamala both are Muslims. As far as Ismaili belief, it's a branch of Muslim faith known as Shia. I'm not sure if Iman is Shia or Sunni but either way she is Muslim. And in no branch or in anything in Islam 'Man is god' type of faith exist. So don't try to spread misinformation unless you know things.

[@Melko_277]

@@anxiouscookie6239 "Don't talk about things You don't know". Shia are not Ismaili, Shia are actually different sect of Muslims and the character of Kamala is Pak American Muslim. Shia belief in God and Ismaili don't thus she ain't Muslim in IRL but the character is.

[@TheWindsofWonder]

Rish Shah is so incredibly handsome what the heck. I absolutely love Iman's energy and I love her portrayal of Kamala. In one episode, she quickly rose to ranks of one of my favorite MCU characters. I haven't loved a character this much since Peter Parker.

[@t123a698]

Professor Plumb should totally be MCU canon. He’s the character who debriefs the superheroes after every event and packages selected bits of them for public propaganda purposes. And Spider-Man & Ms Marvel are huge fans. Ironman liked him, Fury did not enjoy it.

[@t123a698]

And there’s at least one episode where the villains kidnap him because they want him to interview them.

[@ILBOI_X]

4:36 It actually happened!!! Kamala and Kate actually finally met!

[@AgnimitraSutradhar]

She manifested that role like Tom Holland 😅

[@rawdog1999]

And like Simu Liu did with Shang Chi.

This is the interview I’ve been waiting for

[@tofu_golem]

Marvel is so good at casting. She practically is the character. A big part of the comic book it Kamala trying to navigate between her parents' culture and American culture. I think that part of it appeals to second generation folks in general, including me (my mother is Japanese). Anyone who is a child of immigrants (or even one immigrant) can appreciate the story. Given that the writers and artists of the Silver and especially Golden ages were mostly the sons of immigrants, I have to imagine that they would also have liked the story.

[@JigyasuBansal]

[@EchanteDante]

So I’m not going to lie when I saw the trailer I was a bit concerned that Disney was going to take the Marvel Cinematic Universe too far towards the Disney Channel horribly cringe child sitcoms or cheesy sometimes so bad they’re good original movies…. And then after I watched the first episode I thought it was ok…wasn’t too bad but I wasn’t loving it. But then episode two had me loving Kamala and thee entire vibe of this show! It is just sooo cute and endearing. And the cinematography and artistic flair is so damn cool!
