‘This was way scarier than joining the MCU’: The star of a long-awaited Marvel sequel reveals plans to write a comic book about their own character

We need it now!

Despite the well-documented mixed reaction regarding MCU megastar Brie Larson starring in The Marvels — the long-awaited sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel — there’s simply no denying that a fair share of Marvel die-hards have remained excited about the upcoming project. And while the unanimous response for Larson might not be too positive, it’s equally worth noting that folks are delighted to see the return of Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel — who apparently has a few comic book tricks up her sleeve.

While chatting with EW, Vellani proudly revealed her upcoming plans to co-write a comic book about her Ms. Marvel character alongside television writer Sabir Pirzada. And if the pressure of starring in an acclaimed Marvel series wasn’t high enough, then surely co-writing an entire comic book based on the character feels like the sort of pressure that could go through the roof. Vellani said:

“This was way scarier than joining the MCU for me. Those projects feel like they live in their own dimension, so I guess I can separate myself easier. But you can hold a comic book! I’ve never written anything before in my entire life, but I have read many comics, so I just wrote what I would want to read. I was given a very professional tool to write what is essentially my own fan fiction.”

As a sneak peek, the comic book series will feature the title Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant and will include a completely redesigned costume for Kamala, along with the co-writers playing around and shifting Kamala’s comic book powers as opposed to her powers in the current state of the MCU.

Without a doubt, the plethora of Marvel projects in existence is surely enough to keep fanatics coming back for more with each pulse-pounding movie or film. That being said, it seems difficult to deny the authentic charm and allure of placing a brand-new comic book firmly between your fingers — which would explain why Vellani is so humble when discussing the golden opportunity.
