The trailer for the upcoming Ms. Marvel series has been released, and fans are both excited and nervous about how the first Pakistani-Muslim superheroine will be represented on the screen.

The show will follow the life of Kamala Khan, a Muslim girl from Jersey City, as she navigates her way through high school and her newly discovered powers as a superhero. The main character is played by 16-year-old Pakistani-Canadian actor Iman Vellani. Pakistani actor Nimra Bucha also stars in the show.

Oscar-winning Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy also directed some episodes of the series, which airs on Disney+ on June 8.

Obaid-Chinoy took to Instagram to announce the release of the trailer, saying “Having just emerged from a year and a half of working on ‘Ms Marvel,’ I cannot wait to share her story with the world — I know many young girls will see a reflection of themselves in her!”

Many fans from across the world were excited to finally see the positive representation of a Muslim female character on on television.

“Finally, Muslim representation [and] Pakistani representation” wrote one fan on social media.

Others were more concerned about the depiction of the Muslim character, as many Hollywood films have often resorted to negative stereotypes.

“Hopefully they will represent Muslims and brown people well” wrote one person on social media.

Cant wait to watch Ms Marvel hopefully they will represent Muslims and brown people well 🤲

    This is why you must not allow Harmfuls in your building. Narrated by a friend who lives in Mumbai.
    1. We have only 1 Harmful in my building society of 35 homes. He doesn’t pay society fees and has Rs 5 lakh in dues plus fines. He lost a court case with society but won’t pay.

    2. He parks 3 cars in the society although each house has been allocated only 1 parking space. Society decided to disallow his extra cars so he threatened the watchmen with murder. One watchman quit, saying: “Harmful hai. He may carry out his threat. They don’t care about jail.”

    3. Other watchmen are afraid as the society has outsourced its punitive measures on him to be delivered by watchmen whom he threatens. Police are of no help as he might play victim card or simply say watchmen of society folks touched his women folk. So no one acts. He gets away.

    4. Imagine the nuisance value /akad/ power of being a lone radical Harmful in a society of 35 home owners, who are doctors, lawyers, industrialists, innovators, educationists. Could a lone Hindu owner even think of doing this in a building with 34 Harmful neighbours?

    5. The Harmful man doesn’t lack money. He has unpaid loans to banks in crores and he threatens them too. Has enough money to have 3 cars, his children have expensive toys, but he won’t pay his dues. Classic case of self-entitlement and victimhood.

    6. Our society, located in South Mumbai, had built a temple to dissuade Harmfuls from buying houses here but one Kasab slipped in despite the tight measures. One foolish homeowner made the mistake of selling his flat to this Harmful family. Now all others are paying.
