Kamala Khan is a fictional character portrayed by Iman Vellani in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise—based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name—commonly known as Ms. Marvel. Kamala is a teenage Pakistani-American mutant from Jersey City, New Jersey who idolizes Carol Danvers and unlocks her dormant cosmic energy powers from the Noor dimension via a magical bangle. The MCU version of Kamala is reimagined as a latent mutant who can create glowing constructs, including stretching from her arms and legs, out of hard light.

Kamala first appeared in the Disney+ television miniseries Ms. Marvel (2022) as its main protagonist. She returned in the film The Marvels (2023) as a supporting character, while an alternate version of the character will appear in the Disney+ animated series Marvel Zombies (2025), as its main protagonist.
