Created by Basha K Ali and directed by Bilall Fallah, Adil E Arbi, Meera Menon, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, this story is a six-part series on Disney+. Playing Ms Marvel is Imani Vellani, a Pakistani-born and Ontario-raised 19-year-old. After Kamala's strict parents refuse to let her attend AvengerCon in a Captain Marvel costume, she sneaks out to go to the convention with her best friend, Bruno, played by actor Matt Linz. Kamala discovers her new superpowers at the event when she realizes that she can shoot out bursts of energy from her hand.
