Ms. Marvel closes out with a post-credits scene and a big MCU guest star

In both the comic book and the Disney Plus series, Kamala Khan is a total Marvel obsessive, dressing up as Captain Marvel in a cosplay competition (not to mention the matching Hulk cosplay with her dad) and choosing a superhero moniker that pays homage to her favorite caped hero.
It was only a matter of time before a classic MCU cameo, right?
