Ms. Marvel’s Red Dagger Actor Teases His Future in the MCU
Aramis Knight, who stars as Kareem/Red Dagger in the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, teases his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ms. Marvel began streaming exclusively on Disney+ on June 8, 2022, and will consist of six episodes, the last of which will premier on July 13. The show follows Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American teenager who idolizes the Avengers and struggles with her identity after gaining superpowers of her own.
Making his debut in the fourth episode of the series, Knight's character Kareem (a.k.a. Red Dagger) is a member of a vigilante group known as the Red Daggers.
