Disney+’s Ms. Marvel Lands Bad Boys for Life Filmmakers & More! As the streaming platform’s She-Hulk series has found its star and pilot director, Disney+’s Ms. Marvel has also taken a big leap forward with the signing of Bad Boys for Life‘s Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Meera Menon to direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Though the Ms. Marvel moniker has been around for decades, originally the superhero name for Carol Danvers, the Khan character took on the name.
A Pakistani-American, Khan joined the Marvel comics universe back in 2014 as a result of the Inhumans’ Terrigen Mists being released, triggering her shapeshifing powers.
Khan is also inspired by Carol Danvers, who at that point had been “promoted” to the role of Captain Marvel, and decides to take on her old moniker of Ms. Marvel to fight crime and do good.
