29 Brand New Characters Coming To MCU Phase 4
9. Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel - Ms. Marvel & Captain Marvel 2
Introduced in just 2013, Kamala Khan has since become a fan favourite after becoming the fourth hero to take on the Ms. Marvel mantle, and joining the likes of the Avengers, the Champions, and the Secret Warriors. The character has also been thrown into the mainstream recently with a leading role in The Avengers video game.
Khan will bring with her a unique power to the MCU, as along with her super strength, super durability, and super speed, she is able to alter her body and shapeshift at will.
In the source material, Kamala inherits her powers thanks to her Inhuman gene activated by the Terrigen Mist. However, since this has only been touched upon in the MCU in Agents of SHIELD and the completely forgettable Marvel's Inhumans, it remains to be seen if her backstory will be the subject of a little creative liberty when her series hits.
Not only will debuting actress Iman Vellani portray the exciting new character in Ms. Marvel on Disney+, she will also make an appearance along side the original Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers, in Captain Marvel 2. The young Pakistani American hero was Marvel Comics' first Muslim superhero, and will claim the same title when she debuts in the MCU in 2021.
