In the new trailer for the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is tackling one of the biggest forces of evil the world has ever seen: teenagers. Those pesky brats are all over the place in the first look at Marvel’s splashy summer series, which follows the newest, youngest superhero in the bunch, Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), aka Ms. Marvel.
Though this first trailer doesn’t introduce us to any big bads, it’s clear that Kamala’s biggest villains are the bullies at her high school who shame her for being a Captain Marvel fangirl. (This is apparently the complete opposite of real life, in which the MCU is one of the highest grossing, most popular series of all time—though it perhaps mirrors the real-life backlash against Captain Marvel.) Call her an Arianator of the Captain Marvel fanbase: Kamala has dedicated her whole life to the celebrity superhero, which eventually lands her a gig as a full-time crusader.
The first half of the trailer sees Kamala tripping her way through high school and struggling to focus on homework when all she can think about is boys. Oh, and becoming an Avenger, of course. She’s not sure how that’ll pan out for her—“It’s not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world,” a dejected Kamala says in the clip—until she earns “cosmic” powers. After nearly 15 years of the MCU, we know where it goes from here!
