漫威将以穆斯林超级英雄Marvel女士为原型推出新电影

Marvel has a new film “in the works” in the shape of Muslim superhero Ms. Marvel.

It won’t be the studio’s first female-led film — Brie Larson is already set to enter the franchise* as Captain Marvel in 2019.

“Avengers: Infinity War” producer Kevin Feige told the BBC, “Ms. Marvel ... is definitely sort of in the works.”

He explained she is “another character in the comic books, the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel.”

“We have plans for that once we’ve introduced Captain Marvel to the world,” he added.

In the comic books, Ms. Marvel’s alter-ego* is Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American teenager from New Jersey.

No firm plans have been announced yet — least of all casting — but there’s speculation* that Priyanka Chopra could be a shoo-in for the role.

The actress already voices the character in the mobile video game “Marvel: Avengers Academy.”

Several fans voiced their support for Chopra — but some said the role should go to a Pakistani-American rather than Indian.
