MS MARVEL. To discover in streaming on Disney +, the new Marvel Studios series dedicated to Miss Marvel, the first Muslim superheroine. We explain who this character is and what you need to know about this series in six episodes.
[Mis à jour le 8 juin 2022 à 12h42] Television productions are linked on Disney++ for Marvel Studios. Just two months after the Moon Knight series, here comes Miss Marvel who is storming the platform of streaming from Disney. Series made up of six episodes, Miss Marvel is dedicated to Kamala Khan, a teenager from New Jersey of Pakistani origins and Muslim faith. Created in 2014, the character of Kamala Khan becomes Miss Marvel and gains superpowers that make her the hero she always dreamed of being. Huge fan of Captain Marvel, Kamala Khan hopes to do as well as her and, if possible, meet her!
What is the Miss Marvel series worth on Disney+?
We had the opportunity to preview the first two episodes of the Miss Marvel series from Disney+ and these convinced us. Centered on a teenager in search of love and freedom, the series adopts a light tone and allows itself pretty games with image and colors, which is quite rare at Marvel. After numerous productions centered on seasoned superheroes facing cataclysmic stakes, Miss Marvel takes the opposite view and focuses (in the first two episodes) on the superheroic beginnings of Kamala Khan but also, and above all, on the dynamics of adolescence. Friendship, love, dreams of the future and freedom from the family… Miss Marvel takes care to develop her character before giving her her powers. As often in the Disney+ series, Marvel Studios takes its time, which is quite appreciable for an origin story such as Miss Marvel. These first two episodes have in any case made us want to see the rest of the series!
Where Marvel Studios has accustomed us to chaining film productions, it is on Disney + that Miss Marvel arrives to start. It must be said that the serial format works well for making presentations with characters relatively unknown to the general public. Will Miss Marvel be entitled to her film one day? Know that Miss Marvel is to appear in the Captain Marvel sequel. This sequel, which was expected under the name of Captain Marvel 2, has the official name “The Marvels” and the logo of the film, scheduled for 2023, leaves no doubt about the presence of Miss Marvel in the credits.

If you are used to reading English comics, you know that English speakers call Kamala Khan “Ms Marvel”. “Ms” is a typical Anglo-Saxon greeting to refer to a woman. It is neither “Miss” (miss), nor “Mrs” (Madame) but an in-between for politeness. In France, there is no equivalent to this formula, so the usual French translation of the name “Ms Marvel” has become “Miss Marvel”.
