Ms. Marvel premieres on Disney+ on June 8th
Ms. Marvel, one of several MCU shows coming to Disney+ this year, will premiere on June 8th. The series centers around Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American from New Jersey who idolizes her world’s superheroes, especially Captain Marvel.
A new trailer arrived along with the release date announcement, which shows more of Kamala’s altered cosmic powerset for the series. This has been a point of debate since it was first revealed, as Ms. Marvel’s polymorphic abilities in the comics are closer to the Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards than the cosmic abilities shown in the trailer.
The source of her powers also appears to be tied to mystical bracelets instead of her comic book power origin of being an Inhuman. However, making her powers cosmic and making this bracelet potentially of alien origin ties the character even closer to Captain Marvel, whose sequel movie will also bring Ms. Marvel to the big screen.
Harley Quinn spin-off series for Kite Man in the works
A spin-off series of HBO Max’s Harley Quinn, titled Noonan’s, is currently in the works.
At SXSW, Warner Bros. executive and Harley Quinn series co-creator Patrick Schumacker teased the new show. Since Schumacker specifically said it was in development, things are still subject to change.
Noonan’s would follow Kite Man as he buys Noonan’s Bar, an infamous hangout spot for hitman and henchman of Gotham.
Schumacker added that, “He tries to run the bar by himself but it doesn’t turn out so easy. We have Harley and Ivy appear in the first episode, but after that we have different goons and villains appearing every episode like Lex Luthor and Bane. It will be kind of like ‘Cheers’ for supervillains.”
