The role of Kamala Khan has finally been cast.

Announced today, newcomer Iman Vellani will portray the popular Marvel superhero in Disney+’s forthcoming Ms. Marvel TV series. With this casting, Vellani will also appear in future MCU films. The Ms. Marvel show will be directed by Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and Meera Menon. Production on the show will begin later this year.

WandaVision trailer released during the Emmys

The first official glimpse of WandaVision has arrived.

The official trailer for the show, which you can see below, dropped today during the 72nd Annual Emmy Awards. Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, the series takes place following the events of Avengers: Endgame. “The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems,” the show’s synopsis reads.

Olsen and Bettany aren’t the only familiar faces set to appear in the series. Kat Dennings, who played Thor’s friend Darcy Lewis, and Randall Park, who played FBI agent Jimmy Woo, will also show up. The show also features Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. A younger version of the character appeared in 2019’s Captain Marvel. Rounding out the main cast is Transparent actress Kathryn Hahn, who portrays the couple’s neighbor. She’s rumored to be Agatha Harkness, who was Scarlet Witch’s tutor in the comic books.

WandaVision will make its way to Disney+ this December. The show will have a strong connection to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is slated to hit theaters on March 25, 2022.
