Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Night are joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At Disney’s D23 Expo annual confab, Marvel boss Kevin Feige announced that Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Knight live-action series are in development at the upcoming streaming platform Disney+. All are derived from Marvel comics. The Ms. Marvel character, Marvel’s first Muslim superhero, also will be featured in movies, Feige said.

She Hulk was created Stan Lee and artist John Buscema and first appeared in the Feb. 1980 issue Savage She-Hulk #1. Known as Jennifer Walters, she’s a lawyer and the cousin of Bruce Banner and gets an emergency blood transfusion from him following an injury, thus acquiring Hulk-like qualities. She’s also a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Defenders and S.H.I.E.L.D.
