Ms. Marvel (film)

Ms. Marvel is an upcoming animated superhero comedy coming-of-age film directed by Lissa Tremain from a screenplay co-written with Sana Amanat. A co-production between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Marvel Studios Animation, the film is based on the character of Kamala Khan by Amanat and G. Willow Wilson, and stars Sandra Saad in the title role, with Saul Nanni, Will Forte, and Kathreen Khavari in supporting roles.

An animated film based on Ms. Marvel was announced in early 2036 as the first collaboration between Disney Animation and Marvel Studios Animation, with Tremain set to direct and Amanat hired as co-producer. Saad was announced in the title role in early 2037, havimg voiced Kamala in previous Marvel projects. The filmmakers deliberatedly avoiding imitating the Marvel Cinematic Universe interpretation of the character, instead drawing inspiration directly from the comics. The animators created a new animation software that allowed fpr both "squish-and-stretch" animation and more realistic movements to animate Kamala's powers, with the DreamWorks Animation film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken serving as an inspiration.
