Mindy Kaling In Talks About Ms. Marvel Film

MCU Fans Are Excited About Ms. Marvel

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly diversifying, and Mindy Kaling has been one of the more recent vocal supporters of bringing Ms. Marvel, Marvel’s first Pakistani-American, Muslim superhero, to the big screen. In a recent interview, the Hollywood actress shared that she met with the Marvel team to talk about and possibly flesh out a Ms. Marvel project, and revealed that they are “interested.”

“I think the people I’ve spoken to at Marvel about it are so excited about the character and I think that they’re trying to figure out what to do with it, and I told them I would help in any way because I truly love her,” Kaling said to MTV News. “They really seemed interested, and I think they will probably do something. Now that there’s like this streaming platform with them, it might be something like that, but I think they understand how much excitement there is.”

For those who do not know of the character’s origins, Ms. Marvel, or Kamala Khan, was created by G. Willow Wilson, artist Adrian Alphona, and editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker in 2014. Khan comes from a specific cultural and religious background.
