Ms. Marvel Writer Reacts to MCU Show’s Black Widow Tribute
Ms. Marvel writer Bisha K. Ali reacts to the show’s in-universe tribute to Black Widow. Ms. Marvel will feature Iman Vellani’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as teenage superhero fanatic Kamala Khan. Kamala will stumble across powers of her own during the series that will be reminiscent of the cosmic powers of her idol, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), and she will eventually take up the mantle of Ms. Marvel.
Ms. Marvel will focus heavily on Kamala’s story, but it will also be another new look into the post-Blip MCU.

However, one of the Stones – the Soul Stone – required a sacrifice, and Natasha Romanoff a.k.a Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) traded her life for the Stone so that everyone could be brought back.
