Sana Amanat, who executive produced the show and co-created the Ms. Marvel character, told Empire that making Ms. Marvel a mutant was originally the plan while writing the comic.
Ms. Marvel herself, Iman Vellani, recently took part in a Reddit AMA to discuss one of the twists and how she couldn’t stop giggling while shooting that crucial scene.
“The M word scene was by far the most challenging scene to film and I say that with all seriousness,” said Vellani.
The MCU doesn’t establish which characters from the comics are worthy of a larger platform or which characters are most popular.
