Kamala has some pretty stereotypical things happen to her at school such as being the ‘queer’ and ‘Muslim’ girl, which means she’s unpopular and holds back from getting into a number of things. This is a direct challenge to stereotypes and the negative perceptions that young kids have of those who are different.

The main plot revolves around Kamala finding out who she is as a person, discovering who is good for her and what it means to be home.

The cast include Iman Vellani , Fawad Khan , and Shehryar Taseer (as Kamala Khan’s parents). Other actors include Hayley Atwell, Ben Kingsley. Kamala is a woman of color and she’s not just there for the shock factor; this is a role that really allows for a genuine experience from the main character.

The men in Kamala’s life are key to her figuring out how to be an adult and how she will act as Ms. Marvel once she gets her powers.
