Disney + Ms Marvel show

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-23-2019, 04:37 PM

The future of the MCU may just be getting its start on Disney+. The streaming service will likely be a test kitchen of sorts for new Marvel Comics characters who may transition onto the big screen in the next Phase(s) of the world-famous feature franchise. So just as Disney+ is bringing some big-screen A-list talent to the streaming service to kick things off with slate of spinoff series, so too will they launch live-action shows to spirit superheroes (and supervillains, likely) into theaters. And a new report suggests than an early attempt at that approach will be a live-action take on Marvel’s first Muslim superhero, Ms. Marvel.

As THR reports ahead of Disney’s D23 presentation, Marvel Studios will develop the Ms. Marvel series now that the relatively younger superhero’s mentor and inspiration Captain Marvel has become a cornerstone of the MCU. They’ve also reportedly hired Bisha K. Ali (Sex Education, Four Weddings and a Funeral) as writer and showrunner for the series. We’ll keep an eye out for confirmation as Disney’s D23 gets rolling, along with more details should they become available.

Presumably, the series will focus on the latest iteration of Ms. Marvel, that of Pakistani American and Muslim Kamala Khan, who takes a form of Captain Marvel’s name as an homage to her idol. The hero herself has been around since 1977, but Kamala’s shapeshifting Inhuman version of Ms. Marvel arrived back in 2013. Once upon a time, current Captain Marvel Carol Danvers took the name for her alter ego, so now, Khan is continuing the trend. Don’t confuse their power sets though; this version of Ms. Marvel can bend and stretch her body into just about any size and shape, making her a similar hero to that of DC’s Plastic Man and Elongated Man.

As of the moment, it’s unclear just when the show will arrive and if/when its characters and storylines will be incorporated into the MCU. But the animated wing of Marvel has already tackled the character, notably in the recent Marvel Rising title. There, Ms. Marvel battled alongside Squirrel Girl, Quake, Patriot, and America Chavez. Don’t be too surprised if some of these names pop up along with Ms. Marvel herself in months to come.

So I'm assuming she's a Mutant or something instead of an Inhuman?

Moon Knight and Ms Marvel deserve their own movies but I'll take the series.

Also y'know She-Hulk probably deserves her own movie too even though the concept probably works best as a series.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-23-2019, 08:42 PM

I don't know much but she’s a female rubber superhero like Elastigirl/Mr Fantastic and a muslim.

Look forward to this series.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-23-2019, 09:46 PM

Hooray for representation, but I don't care about Kamala Khan. If reviews are good, I'll give it a try.

Moon Knight She Hulk and Ms Marvel are apart of Phase 4

So apparently the writer recently deleted tons of feminist tweets talking about #whitemengenocide and the like?

No politics, please.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-26-2019, 03:11 AM

Eh. So all the James Gunn stuff that was posted beforehand on this board was cool but this is "political"?

*Mayhem* · 08-26-2019, 04:50 AM

Indeed, considering what happened with Gunn, I feel it’s an appropriate note to make as the same thing is happening here.

1. I was referring to Mr. Ernst's assumption that Bisha K. Ali's comment about fascism in the United States was being direct at a certain political figure. Not to mention her anti-male rhetoric is off topic. We're here to discuss Ms. Marvel, not the politics of one of the people involved.

2. I can't be everywhere at once, and all the James Gunn stuff I saw was about his sexual misconduct, not about his politics.

3. If you feel that something SHOULD be acted upon, but isn't, let me know. I'm trying my hardest to be fair about all of this, but I'm far from perfect.

Yeah, neither do I. Tried reading the first volume TPB of her series back when she was introduced- HATED it! Lazy, clichéed writing, one- dimensional characters, and boring tropes galore. I will give this series a miss. (Probably not missing anything....)

Fascinating. That bodes well for things.

So they changed her power to wrist gaultnets because her comic powers are two similar to Reed Richards. Looks decent will check it out

*Andrew NDB* · 03-15-2022, 11:00 AM

Well. At least they can check some more boxes.

That's something, right?

Probably because plans for the Inhumans were downsized and all they got was a crappy series no one watched. It's probably regarded as the weakest thing Marvel Studios have ever put out.

The status of the Marvel TV shows pre-Disney+ seems kinda nebulous. It seems they are porting over the actors to play the characters but the events of their shows may not have happened. I think this goes double for Agents of SHIELD so the Inhuman plot line couldn't serve as a set up.

Still there's rumours they may use Black Bolt in Doctor Strange 2 I hope something happens with the Inhumans as they deserved better. Kamala could still be connected to them for all we know the bracelets could be made of terrigen which activated her Inhuman gene.

Yeah it's not like the character has been a runaway hit in the comics market. It's not like anyone ever thought the character would translate well to film and television from her early comics being published or anything.

Is she? I did a quick Google and all I see is stuff about her book(s?) being cancelled.

Which is a more than bit of mystery as it was a fairly solid seller even after the first few years of impressive sales. Some people have speculated that Marvel felt the character was so intrinsically linked to the writer that wrote the book for a long that the ongoing would struggle without her penning. She's had limited series and her own quasi-mini event and she's got ongoing again presumably in anticipation of the Disney+ show.

This isn't the only time they've done this. Captain America for a while now has not had a proper ongoing and it's place we had the United States of Captain America and the Captain America/Iron Man team up book. No one would ever say that was because of sales but maybe treading water with these kind of things is just a new strategy rather than instantly relaunching a book with every new creative shift.
