Kamala Khan, like Miss Marvel, is an American Muslim teenager living in Jersey City. A big fan of video games and an avid fan-fiction editor, he loves superheroes that spark his imagination (especially Captain Marvel). But he struggles to find his place at home, like in high school, until he discovers superpowers like his characters. Then he tells himself, perhaps a little too early, that everything will come out …

Who is he with?
The series was conceived by a British screenwriter Bisha K. Ali, Also known throughout the channel as Stand Comedian. Employed as a dialogue writer for the Sex Education series, in 2019 he got his first job as a lead screenwriter in a television adaptation of Four Weddings and Funerals, before gaining recognition soon after being entrusted with Locke writing episodes by Marvel Studios. Then the design of the Miss Marvel series.
The pilot of the series was led by a tandem of Belgian directors, Adil El Arbi and Bilal Fallah. Two award-winning feature filmmakers at festivals, two filmmakers in 2020, have been tasked with producing Bad Boy For Life, the third installment of the action saga by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. In addition to directing episodes of Miss Marvel, the duo is currently working on the DC Comics film Batgirl.
Eventually, the title role of the series was given to actor Iman Velan. Barely nineteen years old, the latter had no acting experience in film or television and moreover, in production of this scale.
Is it worth watching?
In more ways than one, Miss Marvel is a Marvel series that is unlike any other. Released this Wednesday, June 8th by this Disney + platform, this new Marvel production features Kamala Khan, the MCU’s first Muslim hero. In addition to its diversity approach, Miss Marvel is also a meta-work that puts Avengers fans at the center of the story.
A true Captain Marvel fanatic, Kamala dreams of only one thing: to win the Cosplay competition organized by a local convention in his native New Jersey. With the decision to go there secretly, despite the official ban by her parents to go there, the young woman will inherit the cosmic powers thanks to a ancestral bracelet. By receiving gifts that allow him to become equal to his favorite characters, the latter must understand that great power also implies great responsibility …
In addition to the admiring tone of the narrative codes of the teen series, Miss Marvel relies primarily on her visual originality to the pop world of the duo of duo Adil El Arby and Bilal Falhi and creator Bisha K. Ali. The dialogues merge with great speed, the story does not give us a moment’s rest, and the series is full of visual discoveries that offer the Marvel franchise originality and modernity, which lacked the latest products.
The show’s biggest achievement lies in the casting of its lead actor, Iman Velan. The novice actor was chosen especially because, like his character, the latter is a real fan of the Marvel universe; Her audition – through Zoom, because of Covid – allowed a particularly young woman to show the producers of the series her room, all the corners of which are dedicated to her passion for the Avengers!
New and bubbly, Iman Velan perfectly masters the role and his love for the Marvel world must undoubtedly echo what is also felt by many viewers. Also, keep in mind that the Canadian actor will appear in The Marvels cast in the second part of Captain Marvel Adventures (July 26, 2023 at the cinema).
