The death of Ms. Marvel was one of the most attention-grabbing stories in comics last year, with the beloved character being sensationally killed off in Amazing Spider-Man #26. Of course, Kamala Khan did not stay dead for very long - she was brought back to life a mere two months later thanks to the mutant resurrection technology on the island of Krakoa. Now she is no longer just an Inhuman - she's a mutant, too, and one of the X-Men.
In a lengthy interview on the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast, Deadpool writer Cody Ziglar has suggested that one of the reasons for this storyline was a direct request from the movie side of Marvel. Specifically, he implied that the death and resurrection of Ms. Marvel was requested by MCU chief Kevin Feige.
