One character yet to be introduced via the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Muslim superhero Ms Marvel.

But it seems that now is the time - or at least, it will be soon.

The man behind the movies - producer and President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige - has teased to the BBC that the story writers are gearing up to introduce Ms Marvel in the near future.

They figure they have a good thing going, so now it's time to ruin it by getting "Woke" and going "broke."

Because of that snarky post, I’m sending the Big Red Cheese to your house (or secret laboratory, if you’re at work) to ruin your day!

Even if the Big Red Cheese knew where my Secret Laboratory is (like Gotham City, Columbus, Georgia has its share of abandoned factories), he would leave me alone as I received a proper pardon for all crimes from the Gov. Brown on Earth-5.

The original Ms. Marvel was Carol Danvers and was a great character back in the day.

Original? Captain Marvel is a guy.

I hate how they keep replacing original characters with "diversity" crap.

That Capt. Marvel (not to be confused with Fawcett’s Capt Marvel now known as Shazam) started in the 60s and eventually did die in the GN you mentioned.

Carol Danvers was originally a friend of that guy. Then became Ms Marvel (70s) after the male Capt. Marvel died, she took on the name Binary for a short stint in the 80s, then as Warbird in the late 90s, before finally retaking the title Captain Marvel in 2012.

Between Ms Marvel and resuming the title Captain Marvel there was another character named Monica Rambeau who was known as Capt Marvel but had different powers. Black Police woman from New Orleans wore a white and black costume.

Genis-Vell and his sister Phyla-Vell, Khn’nr, and Noh-Varr also held the title through the 90s and 2000s before Carol claimed it in 2012.

Mess of a history.

I meant the original Ms. Marvel, who didn't replace anybody; she was a spin-off of Captain Marvel. She's the one whose name was taken for a SJW replacement.

“Are any Christians depicted in the MCU?

What about atheists?”

This is an excellent point. I have seen every MCU movie many times and I can’t think of a single Christian reference except for one mocking, throwaway Star Lord line in Infinity War.

They are calling her "Captain Marvel" nowadays, unless i've read something wrong.

Ali Baba, Aladdin & Sinbad are stories that all pre-date Islam.

“I hate how they keep replacing original characters with “diversity” crap.”

Well, she’s been Captain Marvel for over 40 years now. Just goes to show that comics embraced political correctness long before it was the “right thing to do”.

“I wonder if Marvel will license a blow up action figure?”

And by “blow up,” you don’t mean “inflatable.”
