Marching into the MCU's Phase 4 with a spunky superhero sheen, Ms. Marvel arrived on Disney Plus last week as a throwback to colorful live-action Saturday morning fare.
Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) is a Pakistani-American teen living in Jersey City who worships Marvel superheroes, especially Captain Marvel. When she's not trying to fit in with her classmates and deal with overbearing parents, the bright superfan is hanging out with her best friend Bruno and making elaborate Avengers fan videos.
In the premiere episode, "Generation Why," Kamala’s family is sent a box of old heirlooms by her grandmother in Pakistan. Among the junk is a mysterious bracelet of unknown origin that gives her cosmic powers.
Ms. Marvel scraps Kamala’s comic book encounter with Terrigen gas, and it appears to ice her connection to the Inhumans as well, presumably because of the failure of the recent Inhumans TV show. Instead, Episode 1 ends with Kamala sneaking out to enter the Captain Marvel cosplay contest at AvengerCon. When she snaps on the mystic bangle to add a bit of flair, her body is enveloped in a purple glow and she’s blasting light from her hands.
What's next in Ms. Marvel as Kamala tries to make sense of her abilities? Let's dive into the details.

Is there a Ms. Marvel Episode 2 teaser?
There’s no official Episode 2 trailer, but we're expecting the next chapter to build on the fallout of Kamala's powers emerging at AvengerCon. A post-credits scene last week revealed Agent Cleary (Arian Moayed) and Agent Deever (Alysia Renier) of the Department of Damage Control developing an interest in her, so they'll no doubt be trying to bring Kamala in for interrogation.
Also watch for Kamran (Rish Shah) to emerge as a both a potential crush and a potential villain.
Will there be a Ms. Marvel Season 2?
Disney and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige have been silent on any plans for another season, although there are enough comic book adventures to fuel a sophomore season. Looking further into the future, Ms. Marvel is destined to appear in the 2023 Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, alongside Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau.
Ms. Marvel Episode 2 premieres on Disney+ on June 15, 2022.
