Marvel's
latest
series
Ms
Marvel
is
set
to
hit
Disney+
Hotstar.
Led
by
Iman
Vellani's
Kamala
Khan
the
show
reportedly
will
be
paying
tribute
to
two
of
Marvel's
female
superheroes.
While
Kamala's
character
is
a
major
fan
of
Brie
Larson's
Captain
Marvel,
the
show
will
also
give
tribute
to
Scarlet
Johansson's
Black
Widow.
During
a
press
conference,
Iman
Vellani
talked
about
Black
Widow's
influence
on
her
character.
She
said
Kamala
Khan's
amateur
fighting
style
mimics
those
of
other
heroes
within
the
MCU.
She
added
that
Kamala
paid
tribute
to
Natasha
Romanoff
by
pulling
off
"a
lot
of
Scarlett
Johansson's
Black
Widow
poses."
Iman
have
a
shoutout
to
her
"most
incredible
stunt
double" and
said
that
they
had
been
working
together
to
figure
out
Kamala's
fighting
style.
"She's
not
a
fighter,
she's
a
sixteen-year-old
kid
from
high
school.
So,
a
lot
of
it
was
like,
'Okay,
she's
probably
copying
everything
she
sees.'
So
we
included
a
lot
of
[Scarlett
Johansson's]
Black
Widow
poses,
and
Brie
Larson's
iconic
Captain
Marvel
poses.
So
yea,
we've
got
some
fun
stuff
in
there."
Talking
about
joining
the
MCU,
Iman
said,
"It
didn't
feel
real
for
the
last
two
years,
and
now
it
still
doesn't.
I'm
on
autopilot
right
now.
I
don't
know
how
I'm
going
to
process
this
or
if
I
ever
will.
But
yea,
I'm
really
lucky,
and
I'm
so
glad
I
can
have
good
people
around
me."
Calling
Kamala
a
universal
character,
Iman
said
she
hopes
"people
can
see
what
I
saw
when
I
picked
the
comics
for
the
first
time."
She
added
that
comics
meant
the
world
to
her
and
it
made
her
feel
seen
and
less
lonely.
Ms
Marvel
will
begin
streaming
on
Disney+
Hotstar
from
June
8,
2022.
