Kamala Khan is the Marvel superhero, Ms Marvel and was introduced into the comics world in 2013 as a passing down of the Ms Marvel mantle from Carol Danvers, now Captain Marvel. She is also the most prominent muslim superhero and one of my favorite heroes. Since the first movie starring Captain Marvel is coming out next year, the head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Fiege said it was possible that Ms Marvel could come to the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the future. Even though this wasn't a confirmation, there is tons of speculation on what will happen when the character is added to the MCU. Even though I believe that Marvel will bring justice to the character, I just want to point out some potential problems, for blogging's sake.
Ms Marvel problem
As of right now it isn't apparent if Carol Danvers will ever be Ms Marvel in the Captain Marvel movie before she is Captain Marvel. Although we've seen very little from the movie, so I don't know if this is true. It could cause a big problem with Ms Marvel's character. Because if Carol Danvers was never Ms Marvel, it doesn't make sense that Kamala would be and if Carol isn't it doesn't give the necessary connection for the characters.
Inhuman Problem
In comics Kamala gets her powers from the Inhuman terrigen mists released over population centers such as Jersey City. It is still possible that she is an Inhuman, via things from the Agents of SHIELD and Inhumans tv series, it is possible that by the point Ms Marvel gets her powers, neither of these shows might be on the air and these plot points could be rendered null and void.
TV/ Movie Interconnectivity
This also brings me to TV movie interconnectivity, because so far in the MCU the movies haven't liked to acknowledge the TV series. Either that has to change or major aspects of Ms Marvel's character has to. For example, the Inhuman issue I already discussed and if Ms Marvel has a tv show rather than movies, then she needs to meet Captain Marvel and other heroes at some point. Lastly, if she is ever to join the Avengers or Champions, like in the comics, it must connect.
TV Limitation
If Ms Marvel is to have a TV series, as I think would fit the character, it would have to have really good effects and graphics. This is because of Ms Marvel's power-set which basically allows her to change and stretch however she wants. If the show is on the Disney Streaming Service, along with the upcoming live-action Star Wars series, which I assume will have a large budget, then I think it could work.
Casting
I just want to include that speculating on casting for Ms Marvel herself is pointless because, like Spider-Man, she is a teenager and will probably be cast very young. I have also heard it thrown out that she could attend Peter Parker's school. That couldn't work, because she has to live in New Jersey. But it is close to New York and I would like to see the characters cross-over on the screen.
For Ms Marvel to work well, she needs to have a tv series, for the long arcs and story development, that are part of the character. Her being on TV must change some standard practices within Marvel television now, or it can not work. Such as meeting Movie-level superheroes, such as Captain Marvel and appearing in movies and stepping up the special effects for her power-set. The comics read like a tv series. And, such I would like it to translate well to make Ms Marvel marvelous in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Stay Connected.
