MsMarvel actress Iman Vellani finds it very strange to watch herself on screen. 'Watching yourself is like the most cursed thing ever... You know what you look like, but you don't... It's terrifying but in a fun way.'
Iman Vellani, star of the upcoming Marvel Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, has confessed that she finds it very strange to watch herself acting on screen. The young actress plays the titular character Kamala Khan in the series, a Muslim Pakistani-American high schooler who lives in Jersey City. A dreamer who is obsessed with superheroes , Khan comes across the opportunity to become one herself when she gains cosmic powers.
Although this is everything she's ever wanted, the new Ms. Marvel still has to balance her life as both a hero and a teenager. The MCU series will also star Saagar Shaikh as Kamala's older brother Amir, Matt Lintz as her friend Bruno Carrelli, and Aramis Knight as the vigilante Red Dagger. It will consist of six episodes directed by a team consisting of a few different people, including Batgirl directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi, plus Meera Menon and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.
It's weird. It's really weird. Watching yourself is like the most cursed thing ever. I don't know what I look like and I realize that now. Like, you know what you look like, but you don't. You don't know what you look like when you eat or when you're happy or when you're sad or when you run. Running is the worst in my opinion. It's terrifying but in a fun way.
As far as marketing for the upcoming series goes, not a lot has been shown, which is understandable due to all of Marvel Studios' other current happenings including the upcoming releases of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and the ongoing Moon Knight Disney+ show. With Ms. Marvel up next for the streamer, though, promotion should be heating up for the series and Vellani will have to get used to seeing herself onscreen a lot more.
If fans around the world are feeling nervous about a new actress bringing a beloved character into live-action, one must take into account how the actress herself feels. Ms. Marvel has the potential to be something truly special for Vellani - a gateway to a successful acting career that could see her not only star in various Marvel projects but branch out into various other acting endeavors.
