According to Murphy’s Multiverse, The Walking Dead actor Matt Lintz has been tapped for a key role opposite lead star Iman Vellani in Disney+’s highly-anticipated MCU series Ms. Marvel.
Though the Ms. Marvel moniker has been around for decades, originally the superhero name for Carol Danvers, the Khan character took on the name.
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.
A Pakistani-American, Khan joined the Marvel comics universe back in 2014 as a result of the Inhumans’ Terrigen Mists being released, triggering her shapeshifting powers.
