It was obviously starting to look more and more unlikely that Ms. Marvel would premiere this year (we are now in November, after all), and it's now been confirmed that we won't see Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) make her small-screen debut until next summer.
During this evening's Disney investor earnings call, CFO Christine McCarthy revealed that Bisha K. Ali's series won't be hitting the streaming service until the fourth quarter of 2022 (between July and September). The show will establish Khan's role in the MCU in the buildup to her joining Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Monica Rambeau in Nia DaCosta's The Marvels in February of 2023.
We also got confirmation that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel series Andor, which will see Diego Luna reprise the role of the titular freedom fighter, is scheduled for the same time period.
Ms. Marvel will focus on "a 16-year-old Pakistani-American growing up in Jersey City. A great student, an avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, she has a special affinity for superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. But Kamala struggles to fit in at home and at school—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she's always looked up to. Life is easier with super powers, right?"
The show will also star Laurel Marsden, Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Naki, Azher Usman, Travina Springer, and Nimra Bucha. Keep an eye out for a first teaser, which might just debut this Friday during Disney+ Day!
