March 15 (UPI) — Kamala Khan is a Muslim American teenager who gains superpowers in the first trailer for Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel.
Iman Vellani portrays Kamala in the clip released on Tuesday, who has a hard time fitting in at her school.
Kamala is a big fan of the Avengers, especially Captain Marvel, however, her family disapproves of her fandom.
Kamala eventually gains superpowers with the ability to shoot out energy blasts and form a giant flowing fist used for punching.
The trailer, which is set to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and features comic book-like speech bubbles, ends with Kamala donning her Ms. Marvel costume while sitting on a street light.
The scene is recaptured in the show’s new poster.
