The Marvels was the latest entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it gave the spotlight to three powerful heroines: Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and the young up-and-coming hero of New Jersey, Kamala Khan also known as Ms Marvel. The film had a mixed reception, but it served its purpose to show what this trio can bring to the table, and after her solo series on Disney+, Iman Vellani has been a fan favorite.
The character is fairly new, only a decade old but has caught the attention of comic book readers because of her religion, unique power set, and origins. There was a window of opportunity to establish the character in other formats like gaming, and Square Enix with Crystal Dynamics gave the world Marvel’s Avengers.
It was a short-lived and embarrassing adaptation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes but they managed to pivot the focus on the young heroine.

The hope was that co-writer/director Nia DaCosta's "The Marvels" would, at the least, bring things in for a smoother landing, seeing as it assembles a squad of superheroes from some of the better MCU entries in recent years. Leading the way, of course, is Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), who made a splash in 2019 with her solo film, "Captain Marvel," on her way to socking Thanos in the jaw (somewhat literally) in "Avengers: Endgame." But far from being alone, "The Marvels" sees Carol joining forces with her late bestie Maria's daughter Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) -- who's fresh off gaining some shiny super-powers of her own in the acclaimed series "WandaVision" -- and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), a rambunctious teen and Captain Marvel fangirl who stole everyone's collective hearts...
