It’s a fairly significant departure from her origins in the comics, particularly since early on, much of her story revolved around her identity. At one point, her internal struggle manifested in the form of her shapeshifting into her superhero idol, Captain Marvel. Inhumans have yet to truly appear in the MCU in an official capacity, though, and it seems like it’ll remain that way for the foreseeable future. What all that means for MCU Kamala and how it all pays off is something that we’ll have to wait to find out, but it’ll definitely be one of the show’s big talking points.

Beyond glimpses of Kamala’s powers, we get a little more of her family and friends, such as her best friend Bruno (Matt Lintz) and mother Muneeba Khan (Zenobia Shroff). There’s even a little tease of another teen hero joining the fray in the vigilante Red Dagger, played by Into the Badlands’ Aramis Knight. How all of these characters fit into Kamala’s life, and how they’ll help her before she gets boosted to the big screen, will become clearer when Ms. Marvel hits Disney+ on June 8.
