The makers of “Ms. Marvel” can feel the power of their new superhero series.
Muslim directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah can’t wait for audiences to experience Marvel Studios’ first project centering on a Muslim superhero, introducing the character Kamala Khan as a Pakistani American teenager from Jersey City who obtains cosmic abilities.
“It reminds me of my sister, my nieces, (Adil’s) wife, our aunties,” Fallah told the Daily News. “Now they have somebody that they can look up to that resembles them. I hope that it will inspire a lot of girls in the world, but at the same time, it’s also a very universal story and I think it’s going to touch everybody, no matter the race, gender or religion.”
