So What’s Happening With Mutants In The MCU Now?
After Ms Marvel unexpectedly plotted a course for mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we attempt to answer the big questions. Telling Kamala Khan's self-contained origin story, Ms Marvel arrived in relatively low-key fashion compared to past Disney+ MCU releases, revealing Iman Vellani's character as a Clandestine descendant whose latent inner power was awakened by a mysterious bangle.

Needless to say, this is quite a big deal. It's also a revelation few would've expected to come via Ms Marvel — not just because of modest viewership, but also because Kamala isn't a mutant in the comics.
