One of our most highly anticipated TV shows this year is the upcoming Marvel series Ms. Marvel and these new photos from set are just making us even more excited.
We have the first photos of Iman Vellani in her character’s official suit and she look so good. The 16-year-old actress was spotted filming scenes on Friday night (April 30) in Atlanta, Ga.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Iman on set, but it’s the first time we’ve seen her in this costume. She was previously seen wearing her character’s homemade version of the suit.
It also looks like Iman was joined by her co-star Rish Shah for the scene. He is playing the role of Kamran in the new series and we actually just caught up with him for an interview!
The show will center on Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American teen from New Jersey. Ms. Marvel made her first appearance in the comic book universe in 2014 as Marvel’s first Muslim character to have her own Marvel title.
