Kamala Khan will make her MCU debut in Ms. Marvel, where her idol, Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) may appear in a variety of ways. In addition to the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, Khan is set to appear in the upcoming MCU film The Marvels, where she’ll be part of a trio of superpowered protagonists that includes Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau and Larson’s Captain Marvel. Considering Captain Marvel’s importance to Kamala Kahn, an appearance by Brie Larson seems likely.

Ms. Marvel will introduce Kamala Khan to the MCU, combining superhero adventures with relatable high school drama. While promotional material suggests a faithful adaptation of Khan’s comic counterpart, the MCU series will reimagine her superpowers, implying that they come from cosmic energy-enhanced bangles rather than Inhuman powers being activated by Terrigen Mist. The character’s superhero fandom, particularly for Captain Marvel, will be retained making Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers an important character to the series whether or not she makes an appearance.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Ms. Marvel’s official trailer highlights Kamala Khan’s appreciation for Captain Marvel as well as her tendency to daydream, imagining herself as a similarly-garbed superhero. By the end of the trailer, Khan’s true superpowers are shown, allowing her to fulfill her dream of becoming a hero. While there is no official confirmation of Brie Larson appearing in Ms. Marvel, the series could feature her in her Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers personas, potentially in daydream sequences or as a surprise cameo at the end of Ms. Marvel, connecting it directly to The Marvels.

The daydream sequences shown in the Ms. Marvel trailer feature her wearing Captain Marvel’s costume, but these might not be the only flashbacks shown in the series. Another sequence might show Khan speaking to Carol Danvers herself, possibly as an imagined inspirational conversation as Khan grows into her newfound role of a superpowered hero. It’s easy to imagine Larson appearing as Danvers or at least voicing her in such a sequence.

The MCU’s Disney+ shows are closely connected to the MCU films as well. The ending of WandaVision will influence Wanda’s role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Black Widow’s post-credits scene tied directly into Hawkeye. Since Ms. Marvel is Kamala Khan’s MCU origin story, it’s reasonable to assume that the show will, in classic MCU fashion, end on a tease for Khan’s next appearance in The Marvels. A surprise appearance from Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel would be a crowd-pleasing way to segue into Khan’s next superhero adventure.

Captain Marvel has a strong influence on Ms. Marvel, even without Carol Danvers appearing. She’s the idol and inspiration for Kamala Khan’s superhero identity, and the two will work together later in the MCU’s Phase 4. With this in mind, it’s quite likely—albeit not officially confirmed—that Brie Larson will reprise her role as Captain Marvel in Ms. Marvel.
