As Disney begins to prep resuming productions on multiple films and series, many of which were continuing pre-production remotely, their Marvel Studios’ series for Disney+ are getting ready to get the ball rolling, and a new report has emerged regarding Ms. Marvel.
According to Murphy’s Multiverse, casting for the role of Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel has resumed, as Marvel Studios has begun the process of calling actresses back to continue the auditioning process, which is still being done remotely via Zoom.
As of now, it is unknown when Ms. Marvel is scheduled to start filming, which is expected to take place in Atlanta; however, this report should indicate that the studio has plans to get started before the end of the year if all goes well in the world that is.
