But this week\u2019s second episode looks set to kick things into an even higher gear, with a twist ending that may hint at the real reason Kamala got her powers and where from.<\/p>\n
To find out more, we caught up with series star Rish Shah, but be warned: from hereon out, we\u2019re dealing with mild spoilers for Ms Marvel episode two.<\/p>\n
During the episode, Kamala attempts some amateur heroics with mixed success, but seems to have more luck with her love life after bonding with hunky new kid Kamran (Shah).<\/p>
However, it appears he may have had an ulterior motive in getting to know Kamala. At the end of the episode, as she flees the Department of Damage Control he suddenly arrives in a car, fully aware of her superheroic identity. In the back seat? His mother, who may have more of a connection to Kamala than she would have ever realised\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there is more to him than meets the eye,\u201d Shah told RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s really interesting, because I think there\u2019s a parallel between his relationship with his mother and Kamala\u2019s relationship with her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n Clearly, Kamran and his mother have some connection to the bracelet that unlocked Kamala\u2019s hard-light abilities, with the original Ms Marvel source comics also hinting at a potential on-screen storyline.<\/p>\n In those comics, after Kamran appears romantically interested in Kamala\u2019s he\u2019s suddenly unmasked as another superhuman, albeit one with less of a strict moral code. In fact, his whole plan was to recruit her (or kidnap her) and take her back to his gang, a group of similarly super-powered people who recently discovered their abilities.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a slightly different backstory to the TV show \u2013 on the page they\u2019re both Inhumans whose abilities were activated by some magic mist \u2013 but the basic idea of Kamran working for an outside interest appears to have made it on-screen, albeit with a bit more of a family connection. Our guess? Kamran and his mother are non-humans of some kind like Kamala, and desperately want to unlock their super-powered potential just like her.<\/p>\n And going forward, Shah hints that his version of the character may act as a \u201cfoil\u201d for Kamala, possibly contrasting her heroic use of surprise powers with something else entirely.<\/p>\n \u201cKamran is the new kid in town. And he acts kind of as a foil for Kamala. And that\u2019s how the relationship is,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n However, it seems like Kamran might be slightly less of a twerp in this version of the story, with Shah hinting that Kamran may have genuinely bonded with Kamala in their time together.<\/p>\n \u201cKamala is someone that he can connect with, and makes him feel at home and, you know, not so insecure in a new environment,\u201d he told us.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s a really cool character to be able to play. That\u2019s kind of all I can say about it for now.\u201d<\/p>\n Moving forward, Shah hints that there\u2019s plenty more of Kamran\u2019s backstory to unfold \u2013 \u201cI think so\u2026.you\u2019ll have to wait and see,\u201d he teases \u2013 and who knows? Maybe this take on the character will be less of a villain than the original comic book version.<\/p>\n All we know is that Kamala\u2019s life just got a lot more complicated. No wonder her mother told her to keep away from boys all those years.<\/p>\n Ms Marvel releases new episodes on Disney Plus on Wednesdays \u2013\u00a0sign up to Disney+ for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 a year<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our Sci-Fi<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
