Paley Front Row: Ms. Marvel

Stars and creatives of Disney+'s Ms. Marvel (Sana Amanat, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Iman Vellani, Zenobia Shroff) gather on June 9, 2022 with moderator Trisha Sakhuja-Walia to celebrate their show. Topics include: the level to which Vellani relates to the title character; if dissent surfaced at the concept of a show based on a Muslim superhero; veteran comic-book editor Amanat's thoughts on how Marvel Studios has evolved over the years; the degree to which Muslim women's culture is represented in each episode; Obaid-Chinoy's transition from Oscar-winning director to helming a TV series; the panelists' reactions to working on a predominantly Brown-based set that is run by women; how the show makes viewers appreciate Pakistani traditions; and why Vellani would find it impossible to act opposite Robert Downey Jr. in his "Iron Man" role.

"Kevin Feige jump scare!" "We still got burritos, so good day." Iman Vellani is giving us the kind of joy this world needs.

Oh my God! I was hoping that my question for Iman Vellani had made it to the final cut of the panel… and it did! Thank you for hosting such a fun and insightful panel! These women are marvelous! ⚡️

Ms. Marvel is amazing!

Ms Marvel is the D+ show yet

[@isuriadireja91]

despite the weak a$$ villains, the show's one of the D+'s MCU stuff I like. And most thanks to Iman playing Kamala...owning the role. She's just got that adorability that almost right away gets even the most jaded anti-MCU rooting for her. the buzz so far about the upcoming The Marvels movie is mostly about Iman most likely stealing the whole movie.

Ojala tuviera subtitulos en español

[@magikarpcatcher6542]

The moderator keeps mispronouncing Kamala.

[@gollum1ring]

To be fair, that's how VP Kamala Harris pronounces it.

[@magikarpcatcher6542]

​@@gollum1ring she's half-Indian and her name is pronounced differently. Iman and the others pronounced it the right way like 20 times yet the moderator kept using the wrong pronunciation, smh

[@vickym4631]

Kamala is an Indian Hindu name meaning "Lotus"..,in the series itself they talk about this.. It's actual pronounciation is like how the moderator pronounces it..!!But hey the person with that name decides how it should be pronounced at the end of the day.

@@vickym4631 Have you seen the latest episode? It's based off of the Arabic word Kamal, which means Marvel. Has nothing to do with Hinduism.

[@fsalhin99]

@@vickym4631 do you have to invent stuff to discredit everythig Muslim? VP Kamala's name is mispronounced eveveryday by eveyone even her name's spelling is wrong, in India we spell that name in english as Kamla not kamala. but Kamala Khan's name is actually pronounced as Kamala(Kamalah) or how most of the ignorant assholes like yourself pronounce VP Harris's name. Kamla Harris's name is 'Cum-la' while Kamala Khan's name is 'Camaa-lah'
