Marvel fans on Reddit better keep their wits about them. Iman Vellani, star of Disney+’s Ms. Marvel, revealed in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she takes to Reddit to discuss fan theories with fans of the show.
“I’m not present on social media publicly, but I do have a lot of private accounts, especially on Reddit,” Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, told Meyers. “Just, like, arguing with people about theories, I’m like ‘You don’t even know what’s coming, man! You’re so wrong!’ It’s so liberating.”
As a huge fan of the MCU, it makes sense Vellani would take to the internet to see what people are saying about the show, its narrative, and her character. Just be careful as the person you might be arguing fan theories with might actually know a lot more than you.
She also revealed during the interview how she had to stay cool and keep her casting under wraps after a zoom call while sitting in her friend’s driveway. That moment even appears to be featured in the show’s teaser trailer.
Earlier this year, the full trailer for the series was released, and it gave us a look at some of the key differences from the comic. The series’s first season is now out in its entirety. We gave the first season an 8/10 in our review and said that “Vellani lights up the screen as the newest addition to the MCU” and “greatly [balances] a coming-of-age and superhero origin story.”
