The First ‘Ms. Marvel’ Reactions Are In, And It Sounds Like Marvel Nailed The Casting For This ‘Delight’ Of A Show

With only three weeks to go until its premiere, critics got a chance to watch the first two episodes of the upcoming Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel, and the consensus is clear: Iman Vellani crushes it as the teenage superhero. Despite early criticisms about her powers being changed from the comics, the series appears to be winning people over thanks to its charm and Vellani’s charisma in the title role.

Naturally, not much is shared in the way of plot — like who are the mysterious villains shown in the trailer — but phrases like “delight” and “fun” appear prominently in the first round of social media reactions. One critic even called the series a spiritual successor to Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is pretty high praise.

“I’ve seen the first episode of #MsMarvel and spoiler free – I love this show,” Preeti Chhibber writes. “It is everything I could have wanted. I say this a lot about our girl Kamala Khan, but I’ve literally never felt so seen. But like me… specifically. Iman Vellani is a DELIGHT. Put her in everything.”
