New Ms. Marvel Poster Celebrates Muslim Culture With Eid Mubarak Greeting
A newly released poster for the upcoming Disney+ MCU show, Ms. Marvel, celebrates Muslim culture with a traditional greeting of Eid Mubarak.

The teenager proved to be the first Muslim superhero to headline their own comic book series, and she will be the first Muslim character to lead an MCU project.
