Iman Vellani (Author) Iman Vellani is a Canadian actress of Pakistani origin, well-known for portraying Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), the protagonist of the Disney+ miniseries Ms. Marvel in 2022 and is set to reprise the role in the Marvel Studios film The Marvels in 2023. Villani graduated from Unionville High School in Markham, Ontario, and was selected as a member of the TIFF Next Wave Committee at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Most of all, Iman hjas always been a huge fan of Marvel comics, and when Marvel heard she might be keen to write some comic adventures herself, they leapt at the chance for her put her stamp on the comic version of the character she's brought to such vivid life in the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series. And the results have been even better than they'd hoped-the depth of her knowledge of the characters and her passion for their stories was immediately both clear and contagious!
· “Just got a chance to read Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1 and I can say with confidence it is an excellent Kamala story. Iman really gets the character and seeing her balance the mutant stuff and her previous history ends up making for a great read.” - Liam McGuire, Looper.com · “Vellani’s been open about her love of Marvel comics, and I’m happy that love translates to her writing. She and Pirzada also manage to strike a balance between standard teenage heroics and the dread that’s permeated the Fall of X storyline so far; while other X-titles have played up on the latter, a nice dose of the former keeps readers invested.” - Collier Jennings, AIPT Comics
