Pakistani actor Fawad Khan has confirmed speculation that he will star in the upcoming Disney+ series Ms Marvel. Even though the actor refrained from giving details about his role, he said that shooting for the show was ‘good fun’.
Ms Marvel tells the story of Kamala Khan, a Pakistani American teenager from Jersey City who is a fan of the Avengers, particularly Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. Khan struggles to fit in, until she gets superpowers of her own, including shape-shifting abilities, superhuman strength and speed.
In a recent interview Fawad was asked if he was a part of Ms Marvel. “Yeah, I am. Woh toh main deny nahi kar sakta, ab toh main jhooth nahi bol sakta, woh toh unhone khud news laga di hai (I can’t deny that or lie about it because they have put out the news themselves),” he answered.
While Fawad did not reveal any details about his part, he talked about the experience of shooting for Ms Marvel. “It’s a wonderful experience, it was good fun. The cast that I worked with, the people that I worked with, it was good fun, but I am sorry, I cannot say anything more than that at this point in time,” he quoted.
Playing the role of Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel is Iman Vellani. The cast also includes Aramis Knight, Matt Lintz, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Naki, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha.
Ms Marvel is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4 and will premiere on Disney+ in the summer of 2022. The show is created by Bisha K Ali.
