Pakistani. Woman. Pakistani. Woman. In a screenplay about a Pakistani Woman I don't see you suggesting a writer who is - you guessed it - a Pakistani Woman. Please be real in your quest for actual representation.

#MsMarvel was the first comic I ever read - @triciaennis had to send me a copy because all the comic shops near me sold out!
I would LOVE nothing more for the brilliant @mindykaling to pen the script for this much needed movie! https://t.co/X8IxKAD4PT
Are you listening @Marvel?

I am so, SO, so excited about the prospect of a Ms. Marvel movie. I really hope Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson are heavily involved.
I also hope they give the actual script writing to someone who has a track record of writing positive depictions of South Asian women.

Don't get me wrong, while I am furiously liking every mainstream acknowledgement of how important Ms Marvel on the big screen will be, a Pakistani woman needs to be writing that script.

I'm gonna be honest here: I have not heard one bad idea since Riz' first tweet on the subject. Just get together, all of you, and write the trilogy.
