More Marvel superheroes are landing at Disney’s new streaming service: A Ms. Marvel live-action series is in development at Disney+, along with additional series centered on Marvel characters She-Hulk and Moon Knight, it was announced at Disney’s D23 Expo on Friday.
Ms. Marvel has existed as a character in the comic books since the 1960s, but the show will focus on the latest incarnation: Kamala Khan, a Pakistani American teen who hails from New Jersey. (Khan became the first Muslim character to headline her own Marvel comic book.) Bisha K. Ali, a writer on Hulu’s Four Weddings and a Funeral adaptation, will pen the pilot and also serve as showrunner.
