Mehwish Hayat, Fawad Khan, Nimra Bucha to star in Ms. Marvel

An awareness regarding the pains of ‘otherization’ has started doing its wonders, and Muslim characters, despite rampantly existing Islamophobia, have started making it to literary narratives from all over the world. Marvel Comics are an example, which recently introduced a Muslim marvel character, and that too a woman named Kamala Khan, thus resisting both Islamophobia and sexism.

Based on the character, a series is also in the making and news is it that some of the most important Pakistani celebrities are featuring in it, namely theatre, film and television performer Nimra Bucha, the chocolate hero Fawad Khan and the popular celeb Mehwish Hayat, all three of whom are known for being very particular about the TV or film productions they choose for themselves. That these three are starring in this American series helmed by Bisha K Ali promises a wonderful production which is set to release in a few months time.

While Khan shed light on the news some time ago, Bucha and Hayat still seem to be keeping it a secret, for neither of them has given any statement regarding the show yet.
