On June 8, Disney Plus’ "Ms. Marvel" will premiere. It brings New Jersey-based Pakistani-American teenager Kamala Khan’s story to Marvel viewers for the first time and represents a major moment for Asian American and Muslim representation in Hollywood. Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy directed multiple episodes of the show, marking a major transition in her career. "Ms. Marvel" is the first fictional live action work Obaid-Chinoy has directed, after a successful career making documentaries and animated films.
