Ms Marvel arrives on Disney Plus<\/a> on 8th June, with the character joining the MCU for the first time in her own show before appearing in Captain Marvel sequel The Marvels<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n

However, ever since the trailer dropped<\/a>, some fans have been concerned to see that Iman Vellani\u2019s version of the character has different powers than in the comics. While in the comics, Kamala Khan can shapeshift and stretch (called \u2019embiggening\u2019), in the series she appears to harness energy and create hard-light constructs instead.<\/p>\n

Now, speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Rish Shah, who plays Kamran in Ms Marvel<\/a>, addressed the changes, saying that \u201cher story\u2019s the same and the essence of her character is the same\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shah explained:\u00a0\u201cAll that\u2019s been reimagined is the way in which those powers are manifested. But that journey of self-discovery remains the most essential aspect and core arc of Kamala\u2019s journey. Especially in these six episodes, in Ms Marvel, it\u2019s very much about introducing this character.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shah continued: \u201cAnd so I think what\u2019s more important is getting a feel for her personality and her community and the people surrounding her. And then the powers on top of that are whatever the powers are going to be, but at the end of the day I would trust Marvel. I think they know what they\u2019re doing. They are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who are concerned that the comics are being disregarded, Shah stressed that they are deeply \u201cembedded\u201d within the show.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWhether it\u2019s Easter eggs which people can look out for, or certain lines which have been kind of repeated or slightly altered, it\u2019s rooted in the comics and the comics are obviously always the best source material to look at. So that was definitely my first point of call when I found out that this was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shah also said that when he read the comics initially, he thought they were \u201cbrilliant\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that it was great to see a teenager who is dealing with these really weird powers and also going on this journey of self discovery amongst a whole bunch of other things, and dealing with normal teenage problems,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd at the same time, on top of it, I saw someone that looked like myself. So it was definitely great and exciting.<\/p>

\u201cAnd so as soon as I knew this was happening, it was just a big smile on my face, because I knew I\u2019d be watching it as a fan. I never really thought\u2026 I know I\u2019d hoped, but I never really thought I\u2019d be here. So I think that it\u2019s really great.\u201d<\/p>\n
