Ms. Marvel

With an incredible team led by showrunner Bisha K. Ali with directors Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy,and Meera Menon, the Marvel Studios adaptation of Ms. Marvel was a cosmic success. Iman Vellani—who has her own real-life Marvel nerd pedigree—turned in a star-making performance as Kamala Khan, and we can’t wait to see more of her adventures not just on the small screen but on the big one as well in The Marvels. We loved the relatable approach to her story, relationships with her immigrant family, and the incorporation of South Asian history to her origin—not to mention the fact that Kamala gets to experience actual joy on her path to being a Young Avenger.
