Until now, WandaVision (Matt Shakman, 2021), Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Kari Skogland, 2021) and Loki (Kate Herron, 2021) were series developed from previous stories. These characters, and several more that appeared during the episodes, had already been introduced through the different films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In that sense, Ms. Marvel offers an extra challenge to Marvel Studios and Disney: the series is the presentation of the character.
At first glance, this doesn’t seem like a drawback. The narrative universes are nourished by these appearances, by new plot lines that can be developed through other stories that happen in parallel with the main ones and that, as in the case of Marvel and Disney, they end up integrating. What is the detail in the case of Ms. Marvel? That it would be released in a context in which different productions will also appear.
The Marvel and Disney calendar presents several more than interesting proposals for the end of the year to promote the launch of Phase 4. Among them is, for example, Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, and although it is difficult to believe, all these productions that are on the way could harm the premiere of Ms. Marvel. We see the case in depth.
Ms Marvel: why it might be delayed
The possibility was learned through TVLine, means in which it is explained that most likely Ms. Marvel finished premiering in 2022, although it had been announced, initially, for this year. Why? How tight the release schedule is in the second half of 2021.
During the following months, Marvel and Disney will release What would happen if…?, Hawk Eye, Eternals Y Sipder-Man: No Way Home. Except Eternals, the other productions refer to characters that were already presented within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even if What would happen if…? be an animated series, it responds to winks presented in the movies, giving them a twist.
Date of high in Disney Plus now and save thanks to the annual subscription, with which you can enjoy its entire catalog of series and movies. Enjoy access to the latest releases and to the catalog of Star. You’ll also be able to watch Marvel and Star Wars content, Pixar’s great animated films, and National Geographic documentaries.
In case of Eternals it is different, because it will be a film dedicated to a handful of characters about whom there was no news before. Judging by the size of the project, it is understood that their role will be key during the development of Phase 4. All this leaves the congested narrative spaces to introduce a new character from the start. That is why Ms. Marvel It could be postponed until 2022.
What will the series tell?
Ms. Marvel will deal with the story of Kamala Khan, played by Iman Vellani. She is a Pakistani teenager who lives in New Jersey and acquires special powers. This character, within the comics, at some point assumes the identity of Captain Marvel, who is a kind of reference for the character.
So far, Marvel and Disney have not confirmed a release date for Ms. Marvel, as they did with the aforementioned productions. That also contributes to thinking about the possibility of it being postponed to next year. For now, the miniseries will have six chapters.
The next Marvel and Disney releases, awaiting confirmation from Ms. Marvel, are:
- What would happen if…? – August 11.
- Eternals – October 28.
- Hawk Eye – November 24.
- Spider-Man: No Way Home – December 7th.
