We already know Vellani's Kamala Khan won't just be appearing in her own Disney+ series; the character is also going to be showing up in the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel titled The Marvels directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Megan McDonnell, who also wrote for the Disney+ series WandaVision. The film will position Ms. Marvel alongside Brie Larson's Carol Danvers as well as Monica Rambeau, played by Teyonah Parris, who made her debut in WandaVision.
