The Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest offering, Ms Marvel is special in more ways than one. The six-episode series follows the life of Pakistani-American teenager Kamala Khan and her journey to becoming Ms Marvel. In addition to being the MCU's first Muslim superhero origin story series, the show is also breaking ground with its inclusive cast and representation. The cast of the much-awaited series is being led by debutant Iman Vellani but also boasts of a bunch of seasoned artists from India and Pakistan including Farhan Akhtar, Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat, among others. Following the release of the series, actress Priyanka Chopra has shared a warm note to wish the cast and crew of the project.
On Instagram Stories, Priyanka Chopra said that she is elated to see the story unfold on-screen and added that her friends are a part of the show. Sharing the trailer, she said in a note, “So exciting! I love Ms Marvel and am so excited to see it come to life. Wishing my friends and everyone involved so much love and luck. #representationmatters,” adding, “Go watch Ms Marvel now.”
