Original character co-creator and Ms. Marvel show producer Sana Amanat explains the changes to Kamala Khan's powers. The upcoming MCU TV series was created by Bisha K. Ali and will introduce the titular superhero to the long-running franchise, before she appears on the big screen in 2023's The Marvels. With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now in theaters, Ms. Marvel is the next Marvel Studios project on deck, set to premiere June 8.

Despite only making her first appearance on the page in 2013, Kamala is a popular character among Marvel readers, and her MCU debut is an exciting prospect for fans. However, the first Ms. Marvel trailer revealed that the show has changed the character's powers, which many have speculated is due to the current absence of the Inhumans from the franchise. The source of her abilities seems to be a pair of cosmically powered bracelets, rather than her own genetic code, and the resulting changes have been met with some resistance from prospective viewers.
