The latest Ms. Marvel trailer gives its hero her own Spider-Man moment

One of the many reasons Kamala Khan has endured as one of the most beloved Marvel characters to debut in the last decade can be attributed to the fact that, like Spider-Man, she has a mantra — a simple, easy-to-understand motto to live by and up to, something anyone can connect to even if they don’t share her background. The latest trailer shows Kamala Khan. Ms. Marvel, where Kamala will make her MCU debut, that mantra is front and center: “Good is not a thing you are, Kamala,” her Sheikh tells her at the start. “It is a thing you do.”

That, like Peter Parker’s “with great power, there must also come great responsibility,” is the rallying cry for the young new Ms. Marvel (played here by Iman Vellani), and the latest trailer does a pretty good job of laying out all the other reasons she rocks in a tight 60 seconds. The cool matter manipulation abilities she receives from a powerful band, her plucky superhero fandom with elaborate Captain Marvel costumes, as well her identity and practice of Islam as a Pakistani American teenage in the steadily changing, yet still quite-white Marvel Cinematic universe.

All in all, this is what Disney Plus will hopefully find refreshing. Ms. MarvelPremieres are June 8.
