We Have A Little Secret – Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) Might Become A Part Of Marvel Movies In Future!

Iman Vellani – Marvel Studios First Onscreen Muslim Super Hero!

Iman Vellani playing ‘Kamala Khan’ in the new movie is a Pakistani-American based in New Jersey. She’s going to have the superhuman abilities to extend her limbs, alter her appearance & adjust her shape and size!

The cute little star is super-excited & gushing over her first EVER big role for Hollywood!

Iman, said to be the 18-year-old daughter of Pakistani Muslim immigrants, gushed on Instagram: 'Speechless and excited! Wish me luck. #msmarvel'
Iman Vellani took over her Instagram

Firstly, Eternals actor Kumail Nanjiani took to twitter to express his joy & welcome the 18 year old star!

I just saw they cast Ms. Marvel and legit got teary eyed.

Congratulations Iman Vellani! Your work is going to mean so much to so many people, myself included. I can’t wait.

— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) September 30, 2020

Secondly, writer-actor Mindy Kaling also posted a welcome to Iman by tweeting and we can’t hold in the happiness!

What a joy in these trying times to see that #MsMarvel (a Pakistani American teen superhero!) has cast its lead role, a young actress named Iman Vellani! Congrats to you! I can’t wait to see the show! ❤️❤️❤️❤️#RepresentationMatters

— Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) September 30, 2020

A Proud Moment For Us as Pakistani-American Muslim ‘Iman Vellani’ To Appear On The Big Screen!

We are overwhelmed to know how Marvel has casted a completely unknown face, specially one who’s Muslim. Yes, that’s true! A Muslim lead female star is gonna be playing alongside the biggest names in Hollywood OR let me just say … Biggest names of the whole world! (exhilarating isn’t it?)

Moreover, it was so important for Marvel to welcome a female Superhero in their films and here they did just that by announcing a new face to the world! In addition to this, It’s a proud moment and phenomenal news for us that Pakistan’s name is being enlightened in a positive light.

Let’s Check Out What Twitter Has To Say About It!

Iman Vellani already is a real life Kamala Khan.

She's probably a young fan. She doesn't have a lot of experience. And now she's alongside the biggest names in the world, finding her way and becoming a hero herself.

Perfect. Congrats to Ms. Marvel! https://t.co/34PQNJwqWZ

I tried to check Iman Vellani IMDB and there's really nothing but the upcoming Ms. Marvel series on her list

Ms Marvel doesn’t have a release date yet however, we are looking forward for the announcement! All Marvel fans, are you excited for the news? Well, we are and it’s BIG! As mega production houses like Disney move with the times, we hope the wave of change will lead to an inflow of more talent from all corners of the world – Hollywood might just make it to as a global arena in real terms!

On another note: (If BTS might be nominated for the Grammys then 2020 just got better)!
