Ms. Marvel's Bruno Carrelli Actor Shares Funny MCU Show Casting Story
Matt Lintz, who plays Bruno Carrelli on the upcoming MCU series Ms. Marvel, shares his funny audition story. Ms. Marvel will be the second live-action Marvel series on Disney+ to introduce a brand new lead hero after Moon Knight. Premiering on the service on June 8, 2022, the six-episode series follows Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, a teenage girl who daydreams about being a superhero, and eventually gets powers when she acquires Nega-Bands that can harness cosmic energy. She will also be featured in The Marvels, the sequel to Captain Marvel, which is coming in winter 2023.
On the series, Matt Lintz, who is best known for playing Henry on The Walking Dead and Stevie Taggert on The Alienist, plays Bruno Carrelli. He is Kamala's best friend and the only person who knows she has acquired her powers. Although his arc in the series is still largely unknown, in the original comics he eventually moves away to Wakanda. Before that, however, he functions as the «guy in the chair» as coined by Spider-Man's best friend Ned.
