Ms Marvel lands summer release date and cosmic fever dream trailer

Ms Marvel has finally received a release date – and it’s coming to Disney Plus on June 8.

Revealed alongside the superhero show’s first trailer, the Marvel Phase 4 project follows in the footsteps of other recent MCU TV shows in releasing on a Wednesday. Ms Marvel will mark the fan favorite character’s live-action debut in the MCU, and comes just nine years after she broke new ground for Marvel – Khan becoming the first Muslim superhero in the comic giant’s history.

Check out the official teaser trailer for Ms Marvel below:

A six-episode TV series, Ms Marvel will star newcomer Iman Vellani as Khan, a 16-year-old High Schooler who must learn to balance her family, school, and superhero life when she becomes imbued with cosmic powers.

In a press release, Disney and Marvel provided an official synopsis for the forthcoming MCU show: “Ms. Marvel is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. 

“Yet Kamala feels invisible both at home and at school—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?”

The last line of the TV series’ synopsis, plus Ms Marvel’s first trailer, suggests otherwise. The near-two-minute long trailer shows Kamala holding off armed personnel and some mysterious individuals at various points, which shows she’ll have her work cut out for her throughout the series.
