Ms. Marvel Merch Promotes Avengers & Wakanda Tourist Attractions in MCU
Merchandise for the Ms. Marvel Disney+ TV show reveals Avengers tourism in the MCU takes fans to Wakanda, Sokovia, and upstate New York.

Ms. Marvel is known to kick off when Kamala attends AvengersCon in New Jersey, providing plenty of merchandising opportunities for Marvel Studios in the real world.
