Ms Marvel trailer confirms new powers for Kamala Khan
Newcomer Iman Vellani takes on the title role in the new MCU series for Disney Plus.
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming MCU Disney Plus Show Ms Marvel – and it appears to confirm some new powers for Kamala Khan.
In the trailer, Kamala – played by newcomer Iman Vellani – is seen harnessing energy and creating hard-light constructs, very different to her powers in the comics, in which she is known to shapeshift and stretch – the process of 'embiggening', as she calls it.
There is a nod to those powers in the new trailer as well, however, with the character making a hard-light fist that stretches from her arm.
Meanwhile, the manner in which Kamala gets her powers also appears to be different in the new series: the trailer shows the character finding a special bracelet, whereas in the comics she is an Inhuman, a member of society who had her powers awakened by the Terrigen Mist.
In addition to showing off the new powers, the trailer also gives fans a glimpse into the mind of the teenage superhero – who prior to gaining her powers appears to be something of a daydreamer, obsessed with The Avengers and harbouring a secret crush.

But things all change when she finds the aforementioned bracelet – and it looks like she's got a major mission in store that will very much change her life.
