June Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss8 of 31
"Ms. Marvel" | Series Premieres on Disney Plus on Wednesday, June 8
Plot: Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager, doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to.
Our Take: Based on the delightful comic book run by G. Willow Wilson, this six-episode series follows Kamala Khan, the 16-year-old Muslim girl from Jersey City who becomes Ms. Marvel. The character's universal appeal has won over a new generation of comic fans, and will be played by newcomer Iman Vellani. The series will also set up 2023's The Marvels, where Vellani will join Teyonah Parris (aka Monica Rambeau) to become a bona fide member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. — James
