Kamala Khan is the Marvel Universe’s newest mutant. Earlier this month, the House of Ideas revealed the beloved Inhuman would be resurrected later this year as a member of the X-Men. Now, Marvel’s unveiled a trailer for the comic, giving fans a tease of what they can expect from the series.

Heavily inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on the character, the teaser turns the artwork from Carlos Gomez and Adam Gorham into a motion comic interlaced with title cards introducing the title’s creative team.
In addition to Gomez and Gorham, Ms. Marvel: The Mutant will also feature Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani and Sabir Pirzada on the creative team.
“This was way scarier than joining the MCU for me,” Vellani shared with the title’s announcement. “Those projects feel like they live in their own dimension, so I guess I can separate myself easier. But you can hold a comic book! I’ve never written anything before in my entire life, but I have read many comics, so I just wrote what I would want to read. I was given a very professional tool to write what is essentially my own fan fiction.”
“I want to make it very, very clear thatย we are not retconning her Inhuman origin. That’s a part of Kamala’s identity that Marvel editorial and myself would very much like to keep and protect,” Vellani added. “Our book will absolutely reflect all those core themes of identity that the Ms. Marvel comics have consistently explored โ only now there’s a whole new label that Kamala has to learn to accept. It’s going to be pretty crazy.”
Vellani next appears in The Marvels, which hits theaters November 10th whileย Ms. Marvelย is now streaming on Disney+. The synopsis for The Marvels can be found below.
“Inย The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as ‘The Marvels.’”
