The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a new superhero series coming up. It is the entry of ‘Ms. Marvel‘. The new movie will also showcase the debut of its lead star, Iman Vellani. She is a passionate fan of the franchise. Her love for the Marvel universe has been quite apparent from her love confessions for Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.
Her fangirl moment has become the talk of the town. It has caught the attention of the MCU cast and crew such as Brie Larson, Ms. Marvel creator Sana Amanat, and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Vellani revealed that Larson was already asking her to meet up two days after being cast as Kamala Khan. She also shared that she looks up to Feige and is “obsessed with him.”
Vellani has received some advice from another MCU star about joining the franchise. Ms. Marvel lead star Iman Vellani had a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She talked about her MCU debut in the upcoming Disney+ series and about her fellow stars.
Ms. Marvel Star Iman Vellani’s Bond With Co-star Brie Larson
Vellani first revealed how her The Marvels co-stars, Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris, supported her throughout her debut. “Brie [Larson]’s held my hand throughout this process, Teyonah [Parris] has been so wonderful, she said.
The MCU newcomer also confirmed that she received great advice from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ star Chris Pratt. It had to do with “press and stuff.” He had apparently sent her a “juggernaut of an email with so much advice.”
“He made himself so available for any help I would need in the future, so I shot him an email asking about press and stuff and he sent me this juggernaut of an email with so much advice and what’s gotten him through this.”
Vellani has been quite open about her love for Iron Man. This was even before she was cast as the MCU’s Kamala Khan. The Marvel actress even made a short film featuring the armored Avenger to showcase her love for the character. “My favorite people on the planet are Robert Downey Jr., Billy Joel and Kevin Feige.”
The ‘Ms. Marvel’ star also shared an adorable moment with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. This happened on the set of the Disney+ series. “The day [Feige] came to set, I fully froze. He was trying to talk to me, and I stared at him until he left, and then I went back to my trailer and cried the hardest I’ve ever cried before. That was the most cathartic feeling ever.”
Villani’s original plan included majoring in integrated media at Ontario College of Art & Design University in Toronto. She wants to “try a bunch of things” since she is still at a young age.
Chris Pratt To Have A Cameo in The Upcoming Series?
The details of this friendship between Vellani and Chris Pratt are unknown. Whether it started during a random encounter or was planned, is still a mystery.
MCU has always been famous for its crossovers in movies and series. So it won’t be a surprise if Chris Pratt has a cameo in Ms. Marvel. It is instead something for the fans to look out for.
The close bond between the pair also indicates that the latter might be involved with ‘Ms. Marvel‘.
‘Ms. Marvel‘ is set to premiere on Disney+ on June 8.
