Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani reacted to the Marvel Cinematic Universe series' first trailer, thanking fans for the support. Vellani will play Kamala Khan in the upcoming series, a teenager fascinated by superheroes who becomes a protector of Earth after gaining her own superpowers.

Using her Twitter account, Vellani published a video where she underlines how happy she is about Ms. Marvel finally being presented to the public. At the beginning of this week, Disney+ unveiled the first trailer for Ms. Marvel, teasing an emotional MCU story about a teenager becoming one of the superheroes she worships. Vellani has tears in her eyes in the video, and we can see she’s just exploding with the joy of joining the MCU. To record the video, Vellani also decided to wear the Nano Gauntlet, the technological weapon built by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), to reverse the effects of Thano’s Snap in Avengers: Endgame. In Vellani’s words:

"I would just like to thank everyone for watching the trailer. The response has been incredible and I'm very excited to finally have shared Kamala with the world. She felt like my little secret for the longest time. And now it's real and it looks real. It's crazy."

Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega-fan with an oversized imagination -- particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home -- that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with superpowers, right?
