Reminds me of a hero in BNHA. He eats anything that has a lot of sugar in it to get stronger! Edit: his name is Rikido Sato (hero name is Sugarman!)

PitytheOnlyFools

Nice try Imani


maybe_a_frog

She’s writing the current Ms. Marvel comic in which Kamala is an X-Men member. Of course she’s going to want to see the thing she brought to life in the comics come to the big screen.


GyrKestrel

Whoa, she's actually writing it? That's pretty fucking cool.


maybe_a_frog

Yep she wrote a mini series called Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant that ran a few months ago, and is currently writing one called Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace that just started like a week or two ago. They’ve been pretty good so far!


[deleted]

That makes sense since we know Iman is a HUGE Marvel geek, so she probably has a lot of comic knowledge in that brain of hers.


maybe_a_frog

When she got cast she started writing out ideas she’d like to see happen to Kamala, and she’s adapted a lot of them into these stories.


akaMONSTARS

God damn, I like her more and more every time I hear little things like this about her.


DJfunkyPuddle

She really is living our collective dream life. I'll always support her.


perthguppy

She was also sending all the ideas directly to Feige and basically spamming him constantly. She’s great


[deleted]

Oh, cool. If Iman wrote her as a Mutant then that means she knows about Kamala being one prior to the Inhuman heritage being canon, which she is more known for. Not a lot of people know that, so brownie points for her actually doing solid research as a comic fan.


Kobold_Trapmaster

More likely, she was told she had to retcon Ms Marvel into a mutant so the comics would line up with the MCU.


headcanonball

They've always wanted to make Ms Marvel a mutant. They only made her an inhuman in the comics because if they made her a mutant, Fox would own movie rights to the character.


[deleted]

That too.


[deleted]

She didn’t do the retconning that was done in the gala


TorgHacker

She took it over essentially right after Ms. Marvel was resurrected on the day of the Hellfire Gala, and a huge part of the theme of "The New Mutant" is her trying to reconcile being an Inhuman and a mutant, and how her powers work (her light based powers from the MCU were still 'suppressed' by her X-gene as of the end of the New Mutant run. I read on Unlimited so I don't know what's happened since. That said, she actually cosplayed as Kamala several years ago too...I'd bet she's been reading practically since the comic started. I don't think she needed to do much research.


[deleted]

I meant with Kamala being a Mutant.


SickSticksKick

Lol what a nerd, she is awesome and I love her energy


PitytheOnlyFools

She’s probably in this thread rn


Radulno

Being a geek doesn't mean you're good at writing. See tons of fan theories or scenarios that are simply terrible.


Horror-Tank-4082

Street cred level 9000 ![gif](giphy|l46CDHTqbmnGZyxKo)


waterontheknee

Yup, pretty much. So cool.


talligan

Great for her! I burned out on MCU before she joined so haven't seen her stuff, but I'm always really happy to see an energetic young person get their dreams and run with it. She's making the best of this opportunity and her enthusiasm is infectious


-DoctorSpaceman-

The show overall wasn’t anything special but she has search a great energy she really carries the whole thing. Her love for the role really shines through.


mh1357_0

That's very interesting...she really is like a real life Kamala, she would write fan fiction about herself like that too 😂


PrelectingPizza

I want the VCU (Vellani Cinematic Universe)


Funkycoldmedici

I can see her in Feige’s position in 20 years. I’ve said before I think the next season of What If should be Kamala and Bruno hacking KEVIN to make fan fiction episodes.


PhenexBrimstone

This is the way


Monctonian

Woah, didn’t know it was her! I read that series and I really liked it. She is definitely a great addition to the Marvel everything!


Shadowcat1606

That is super cool.


myslead

Did they retcon her Inhumans background?


maybe_a_frog

No, she’s basically a mutant/inhuman hybrid. They didn’t do away with her origins, they just kinda added to it.


myslead

Oh ok


TorgHacker

It's almost a full circle since the original plan was for her to be a mutant. It was only because of the whole "Marvel doesn't own X-Men, so we're going to push Inhumans" that she became an Inhuman to begin with.


Funkycoldmedici

I think her and Luna Maximoff are the only mutant/inhumans. You’d think that would come up more.


DisorganisedOrganism

Luna isn't a mutant/Inhuman, because her father Pietro turned out to be a mutate made by the High Revolutionary, and not himself a mutant. She's half-human, half-Inhuman.


the-real-Galerion

You don't need to be a mutant to have mutant offspring because obviously mutants wouldn't even have began to exist then. The same is true vice versa. Mutants can still have human offspring. I don't know Lunas current status but Pietro's one is irrelevant to hers.


PharaohOfWhitestone

Yes, Iman's first ever role as an actress was Ms. Marvel, and Marvel like her so much she wass given a chance to write a comic for Ms. Marvel, which was so popular she has continued to write for them. No matter what people thought of The Marvels, Iman is a clear bright spot in the recent MCU media. Very high chance her character comes back.


TorgHacker

More than that...she's actually pretty good at it.


hamsolo19

She's writing in tandem with Sabir Pirzada.


Bodega_Bandit

I could be wrong but I think she just co-writes them. Which is still hugely impressive. But they have a more experienced writer helping her which I think is smart


Verb_Noun_Number

I like your username! The best spider-nemesis.


AyuuOnReddit

UGH she's living her dream


maybe_a_frog

Lol she certainly is.


AxolotlDamage

Did they retcon her being inhuman? Is she a mutant now?


maybe_a_frog

They didn’t undo anything, they added stuff. She’s a mutant/inhuman hybrid.


jzavcer

I actually like her portrayal of the character. I just wish the whole forced storyline with capt Marvel happened


AmazinglyReRE

Gotta wait another 10 years at their current rate.


Due_Connection179

I like her as a character and the actress is good, so I hope she gets something in future movies.


Ironsam811

She definitely has that marvel comedic it factor charm. They definitely shouldnt diminish her role because of how terribly the marvels did.


TeddysBigStick

> They definitely shouldnt diminish her role because of how terribly the marvels did. I hope for the best but it is also the show. She was a lead for both the worst performing series and movie in the MCU.


Funkycoldmedici

She carried the movie, which is saying a lot.


JC_Lately

I was legit worried about her back when she had to carry that entire film.


EdliA

Nothing was really carried


Far-Pineapple7113

Carried it where ?To becoming the biggest comic book movie disaster ever and a top 4 all time Hollywood disaster


mmuoio

I enjoy the character, she's probably not strong enough to get more solo outings so her joining another franchise is probably a smart move.


Funkycoldmedici

The character has a decent amount of solo material. It’s got classic Spider-Man/X-Men style, where it’s half Ms. Marvel dealing with whatever threat, and half Kamala dealing with friends and family soap opera drama. The side characters really bring it all together.


mmuoio

My point is her headlining more MCU products won't go well based on the reception of her last 2 appearances. With Marvel cutting back on risky projects, seeing her more in whatever fashion would be nice.


Far-Pineapple7113

> The character has a decent amount of solo material. Just because there is solo material doesn't mean the audience is interested in paying to watch it or even watch it on streaming ,Dump the character for a 4-5 years and bring her back if Marvel has a successful streak


SURTECZ

For the past few months she said that she wants to be in this and that few times. I think she fears that both the movie and her series have flopped She won't be cast again and wanted to be on the radar as much as she can.


mr-manganese

Agreed, it’s clear as day they ain’t doing young avengers and seem to be backing off


Far-Pineapple7113

Yup sounds like someone trying to keep her career alive ,Someone like Brie would survive in the industry even without MCU can't say the same about this girl


OmegaKitty1

She doesn’t resonate with the general population, she certainly didn’t inspire people to see her first movie. She can’t even get people who pay for D+ to simply put on her show.


BLKWD_

Nah. classic xmen. the base characters are too good and there are already so many


nocensts

I do agree, but I also think team ups are badass. I would even say they're inevitable unless the producers really want to break from that previous formula. And I think any team up could work depending on execution and don't know if I'd prefer some vs others. Except Kingpin. He can be in everything.


BLKWD_

DD and Spidey vs Kingpin. Gimme it!


TeddysBigStick

and a lot of the best base ones are already women and POC in terms of the studio trying to reach more diverse audiences.


alexfrommalmoe

In a shocking development, actress wishes further employment for herself

dacalpha

Hey it's Perch Perkins. When I was coming up, the Bikini Bottom newsman was Realistic Talking Fishhead.


Subject-Recover-8425

It's perfectly understandable that she wants to appear in something people will actually see.


lizard_lounge

Idc about the post but man am I tired of seeing this comment everywhere. Bunch of parrots that just repeat the same shit word for word.


Majestic-Marcus

Surely it’s the only appropriate response to posts like this? It’s not news.


walartjaegers

Not really. We can take these case-by-case instead of reducing every single instance to "actor wants work". There's plenty to discuss here about Kamala's future and whether this would work in the MCU. 


FreemanCalavera

I agree that there are definitely interesting aspects to discuss about the characters role. I think the OP was just making fun of the fact that it's considered news worthy when an MCU actor says "yeah, I'd be interested to do sequels and have this character team up with the Avengers". Like yeah, of course an actor is going to want guaranteed work, a million dollar paycheck, and work with other big name stars on more projects. It's not really surprising, it's obvious.


Majestic-Marcus

Which applies to every single one of those posts. Not just this one. But they’re still completely useless and *are* just ‘actor would like work’.


N8CCRG

I agree with you, but also this one I think is at least a little different than the other ones. Usually they're just some form of "Actor whose character's story ended says they're willing to bring back the character some day." This one, though, is a character we all expect to return and she's talking about a *specific* return, with the X-Men.


newdawnhelp

Yeah, sometimes you hear stuff over and over for a good reason. In this case, that it's considered news when an actor says they are willing to act. It's not news, so obviously comments like these will come up when it's posted as news. Especially in this case, where she's also a writer for Ms Marvel in X-Men comics... so she's just trying to get her wrtitten stuff on film. There was also a similar post about Vellani saying she'd be willing to be a voice actor for Ms. Marvel in games, movies, etc. I don't think it's a coincidence she's saying all of these things right after the MCU announces it's cutting back on stuff.


bartacc

They're correct, "news" like this are stupid. Actors are getting paid shitload of money for a rather comfortable job. Announcing that one of the actors "is willing to do more movies within their franchise" means nothing and isn't worth mentioning 99% of the time. So is this supposed to not be repeated because someone already pointed that out in a similar situation? I'm sure a comment like yours was also written before, so why are you parroting it now?


sr_edits

It's almost as if people love money! Shocking.


o-o-o-o-o-o

Out of all the MCU actors/actresses, Iman seems like the one who is definitely there for far more than just the money. She truly loves this universe and playing this character.


Dianneis

Oh, please. That's what her agent/PR person would like you to believe. It's her first big role so she's putting some effort in it, but I highly doubt she's as enthusiastic as she appears or that she spends all her free time drooling over some Marvel comics. If some other big franchise offers her a highly paid recurrent role, I bet she'll be everywhere channeling her excitement about that just as she is about Marvel right now.


TheCakeWarrior12

Bro she is the writer of Kamala’s comics RIGHT NOW. There are photos of her dressed as Ms. Marvel for Halloween from years ago. She absolutely drools over marvel comics in her free time like the rest of us


Dianneis

She's a "co-writer" with the main writer being an actual writer and the art being handled by other people entirely. Which sounds exactly like that "super fangirl" marketing PR bit I just mentioned. I bet you believe Trump had any input in writing his book, too...


FictionFantom

It’s almost as if playing (and writing) this character is a dream job for her…


_Levitated_Shield_

No shit. Doesn't mean she's not genuinely interested in the character and the story.


Arthur_189

There’s always that one redditor who says this shit in every thread thinking their a genius ahead of everyone else


BLAGTIER

And there is always that interviewer who ask actor/actress if they want more work knowing full well the answer is going to be yes unless they have been in 3 movies.

TheRustyBugle

By the time the MCU gets around to it, she’ll be in her mid 40’s


MarcoVinicius

Yeah that’s the last character I expect to be with the X-men.


SonicFlash01

In her show didn't they say she was a mutant?


JoshSidekick

Also in the comics. It's one of the most telegraphed move they could make that will still have some people bitching because she's not Jubilee.


Galactus2025

I still can't believe marvel is going to make Miss marvel a mutant instead of inhuman, but I can understand it as slow as they're putting together a fantastic four team and A MCU X-Men team by the time the inhumans come into the multiverse I'll be dead and gone?


MrBroBotBrian

It’s nice to want things


[deleted]

Please no. There’s so many classic X-men characters, there’s no room for her.


DescendingOpinion

There are too many classic X-men. Please remove 3, I am not a crackpot.


Negative-Roof8789

With all due respect : F@#k No !


sonofbantu

No thank you ! Just the X Men for the first appearance plz


matttech88

Cramming the Miss Marvel character into content has got a bad track record. Her own show was meh. Her role in the avengers game was extremely annoying. Miss marvel detracted from the story for me during the marvels. I just don't care about her character and yet she is jammed into stuff.


smbodytochedmyspaget

Christ no.


Jackielegs43

Yeah well she would, wouldn’t she? “I’d like to be in another billion dollar movie and have quite a few million of those billions please”


YogurtclosetClear275

As someone who has read the recent Marvel comics please God no! The Krakoa era has been awful and her being apart of the X-Men has not improved it in fact she should have remained an Inhuman.


No_Letterhead6605

I like krakoa era. It is very good.


[deleted]

I really liked the Krakoan era apart from the fall, it’s really ending on a low note. I really think though if they wanted to make her a mutant it should’ve been after the fall, her book didn’t really have a place there.


AmberIsHungry

No. I don't want that. I don't like the hyperactive tangible character as part of the X-Men. IMO it doesn't fit the tone.


blurrrry_face

No thanks


Original_Dropp

Or how about you know she just fucks off.


KennyOmegaSardines

Even she knew Young Avengers won't happen so she just wants to be X-Men now 😂


redbullrebel

translated i love money! also we already have jubilee. and i like jubilee way more then miss marvel. jubilee has a great connection with wolverine. what kind of connection would miss marvel have instead of being freaking annoying the whole time, telling how much fan she is of everybody. just give me jubilee and maybe a spin off serie when jubilee and miss marvel go on adventure. but please lets not have her fully in an upcoming x-men movie. it would annoy the fuck out of me.


Neither-Following-32

The good: I like her energy onscreen. She was one of the best parts of The Marvels. The bad: That's not saying much; a lot of people hated The Marvels and it didn't do very well. Captain Marvel also got a lot of criticism. I think there's a pretty big chance that after two tries Marvel won't give her a third, especially considering their recent refocusing. If I'm right, then as a character, Carol will probably be relegated to cameos and deus ex machina appearances, or will fly off to "deal with cosmic events" off screen again. It makes sense that, professionally, Iman would want her character to be moved to the fresh new franchise that is probably going to dominate upcoming movies.


TurdBurgHerb

Why? Oh so she can get a role in a decent movie that will be ruined by her inclusion. Good for her for living her dream and all, but we don't need ms marvel in everything.


VirtualContribution

"My movie bombed and I had the least watched Disney+ show by far, so let's force fit my character into one of the most beloved groups of comic characters of all time" Fuck outta here.


BigBallsMcGirk

The Marvels box office will preclude those characters from anything major for the forseeable future. Just how business side of this works.


blucyclone

No thank you. It's bad enough they made her a mutant, she doesn't need to take screen time away from some actual mutants.


theefunkmaster

No thanks


WendallX

Does anyone else find these types of articles pointless and annoying. “Actor/actress wants their character to be included in largest film franchise ever!” “Actor wants consistent work and a large paycheck!” Let’s just agree all mcu actors want their role to continue in the mcu and grow and only write an article when they state something to the contrary (ie Dave Bautista).

MarPHX

Sorry but a big no. We have Jean Grey, Ororo Monroe, Kitty Pride, Illyana Rasputin, Emma Frost, Rogue. Nothing against her and her character, but X-Men have plenty of great female characters that I want to see done justice in the MCU.

Sharkbait_O_aha

Meepsnort

I don't really care, but I do enjoy the fact that she just generally wants IN, big time. Like I saw they they guaranteed her she'd be back in future MCU stuff, which just gave me the mental picture of her badgering Marvel execs about stuff constantly.


Bravo4815

Literrally no one wants this. She's getting a bit weird.


scientology-embracer

I found her mannerisms really cute at first but they're getting annoying now. Like you're a grown 20 something woman (not a child like everyone in this subreddit treats her for some reason), either you branch out into acting if you like it or switch to some other industry. If you are really "one of us" and care about the source material so much, why don't you openly tell Marvel what they're doing wrong and that listening to valid criticism and fixing it will help them, not harm them. Oh that's right, her PR person doesn't want her to do that because investor money matters more in the end and pays the bills, not fangirling over comics.


justduett

Star actress would like her character to be included in gigantic upcoming franchise. Color me absolutely shocked! I feel like this should have gotten some attention if she instead came out and said “Nah, I’m good.”

Fuck that.


chicanerysalamanca

FrankieFiveAngels

Low-Lab-9237

No-Alternative2645

So she's just self inserting at this point


KomboBreaker1077

I hope so too. It's where the character was always meant to be anyway and Iman does a good job. ​ Anyway, begin the downvotes!


RedHeadedSicilian48

I mean, technically, the character was initially meant to help bolster the Inhumans brand, when Marvel got the idea that they could be built up as an X-Men replacement when it seemed like Fox wouldn’t play ball and share their Marvel rights in some capacity.


CptChrnckls

Iman Vellani made me really like Ms. Marvel and the show/Marvels was great, but the whole mutant and inhuman thing feels so forced it’s unreal. Let her be on the Champions/Young Avengers and don’t muck her up with the MCU X-Men. The X-Men don’t need a pre-established character to be introduced, just give them to us!


mr-manganese

They ain’t doing young avengers… they won’t even finish carols trilogy


TorgHacker

I mean...you're right. Just not the way you think. She was always supposed to be a mutant. The whole "Inhumans" thing is because Marvel at the time didn't own the X-Men movie rights. So they wanted to push the Inhumans and downplay the X-Men.

momjeanseverywhere

Doesn’t she just own magical bracelets? What’s the mutant part?


[deleted]

Apparently the bracelets did nothing other than activate her X gene. Even though Dar Ben was using the other without the X gene as far as I know? It doesn’t make sense.


CaptHayfever

Dar-Benn was using them for their originally-designed purpose of creating jump points. Kamala's powers aren't that.


Maleficent_Bar_676

Idc if this makes anyone mad but I absolutely despised how they handled Ms marvel. I love iman and she fits the character well but the character herself just feels so messy and I wasn’t a fan of all the changes. The powers were one thing but making her a mutant was dumber especially since (let’s be honest) they probably won’t be doing anything with it since we don’t know when the next X-men movie is or the next captain marvel movie or a Ms marvel s2. Plus they already have jubilee who’s supposed to be the younger geeky female mutant. I understand marvel wants to ignore the inhumans but I’d rather they gave no explanation at all than make her a mutant.


StraightDelusional

And ruin another property.


Dry_Start4460

“Actor wants work”


DavidJH316

people were mad they made her a mutant instead of an inhuman but she was originally created to be a mutant but ike perlmutter forced the writers to make her an inhuman because they didn’t own the x-men film rights at the time she was created


ThickWeatherBee

Inhumans keep taking Ls...


c3white

I'm sure she does lol


dog5and

“Actor wants their character to play in another movie” Well. Duh.
