Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed plans to introduce the first-ever Muslim superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Kamala Khan, also known as Ms Marvel, is a teenage Pakistani-American from New Jersey who made her first comic-book appearance in 2013.
“Captain Marvel is shooting right now,” Feige told the BBC. “Ms Marvel, which is another character in the comic books – the Muslim hero who’s inspired by Captain Marvel.”
“It’s definitely, sort of, in the works,” he continued. “We have plans for that once we’ve introduced Captain Marvel to the world.”
