Another addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be making its way in late 2021 as the upcoming Disney Plus series "Ms. Marvel" has been confirmed by the media franchise, with the cast being revealed and confirmed by the show's producers.
"Ms. Marvel" will feature the character of comic character Kamala Khan, who then would-be "Ms. Marvel" after inheriting her superhero mantle from her idol Carol Danvers or Captain Marvel.

Ms. Marvel and the Cast
Marvel boss and producer Kevin Feige revealed the official announcement for the series, and even shared the first look for the currently on the works "Ms. Marvel."

Though only a few of the segment of Marvel was really featured in the event, the announcement was backed and followed up by some additional write-ups and more revelations for their upcoming shows and films which includes those for "Ms. Marvel."
