Well they had an American playing a Russian superhero (Black Widow), so its not the nationality that matters. Its important that whoever plays the part must look the part, so any South Asian actress will do.

Although I don't think they should make a Miss Marvel series or movie, her character doesn't seem that fascinating enough or worth it...she seems more like a secondary character. There are many many more South Asian Marvel characters they could bring into the MCU...Kamala Khan is just overrated imo...

@Bold: She has Russian ancestors. Her mother side of the family is from Russia. She was asked about this during the avengers press conference in Russia.

Ancestors...she is half Russian but not born and brought up in Russia...

Same way all us South Asians have ancestors in different parts of South Asia but we probably don't know it...we used to be one country once upon a time

A brown girl who fits the part should do well in the role, I wouldn't restrict the nationality.

But there are many options other than Suhana and Alia for this role.

Imo if they are doing this they should cast an unknown face...even tho I pretty much never understood the hype behind Miss Marvel 😆

Obviously.

I don't want Alia or Suhana either.

But there are a lot of talented South Asian in USA. There might be Pakistani descendent American actress as well they can choose to play the role. If they can't find any they would look for other South asian decesdents or someone who would look like South Asian. But I don't think they would choose any Pakistani or Indian born n brought up and currently working in the respective industries actors for sure.

They will choose among Americans only. American who has the background to play the role.

why is this character named 'Kamala' when Kamala is a Indian / Hindu name ??

Haan true Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American. So even if they get a South Asian the actor will have to work on their accent.

But idk why I find her boring 😆 Ab diversity ke naam pe koi bhi 😆 Chakra, Rina Patel and Shakti Haddad are more interesting.

Hollywood is going overboard in the name of diversity😆 This debate is going out of the end.And Marvel is trying to cash on the trend I guess like everyone else.

I think Hantel's comment is directed at those very vocal colorist Pakistani public who trash dusky Indian celebrity women's beauty on the regular and say how they have better looking women(read fairer) in guise of patriotism when it's basic ass colorism.
