Hollywood star Mindy Kaling has revealed that Marvel is possibly in the process of bringing its Pakistani-American superhero, Ms. Marvel, to the big screen.
In an interview with MTV News the actor said, “I think the people I’ve spoken to at Marvel about it are so excited about the character! I think that they’re trying to figure out what to do with it. I told them I would help in any way because I truly love her.”

“They really seemed interested and I think they will probably do something. Now that there’s this streaming platform with them, it might be something like that, but I think they understand how much excitement there is,” said Kaling.
