**Ms. Marvel,** the MCU's first Muslim superhero - just got the ultimate shout out from **Malala Yousafzai!**

The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate who shares an interview with the show's co-creator **Sana Amanat** in her latest [Podium newsletter](https://podium.bulletin.com/ms-marvel?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io), explains that she got to see the first few episodes ahead of their release on Disney+ tomorrow and girl, was she impressed!

Malala, who was born in Mingora, Pakistan, explains that she was particularly struck by lead character Kamala Khan, the 16-year-old daughter of Pakistani immigrants who lives in New Jersey and transforms into Ms. Marvel:

"She talks with her friends about Bollywood actor Shak Rukh Khan, listens to Pakistani pop songs and eats chicken biryani with her family. And I suspect many Pakistani kids will see their own parents in Kamala's genial father and strict mum," Malala writes.

The [Ms. Marvel twitter](https://twitter.com/msmarvel/status/1534320937398566913?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) page also shared a hand-written note from Malala herself which reads:

"It is not every day that I turn on the TV and find a character who eats the same foods, listens to the same music or uses the same Urdu phrases as me."

The note continues: "What a joy to see Ms. Marvel reflect the lives of Pakistani immigrant family and reveal a young superhero whose powers connect to her heritage. Thank you, Marvel and Disney+, and most importantly, Ms. Marvel."

The cast of Ms. Marvel is wonderfully diverse and features **Iman Vellani** in the title role, alongside co-stars **Mohan Kapur, Aramis Knight, Rish Shah, Travina Springer** and many more.
