Farhan Akhtar turns philosopher in Ms Marvel

Ms Marvel is now streaming on Disney+ and Marvel Studios revealed the first look of Bollywood actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar in, Ms Marvel on Wednesday. The clip hints that Farhan might be playing a mystic character, and going by his look, he is a philosopher or guide to Kamala Khan’s superhero, reports The Indian Express.

In the clip he utters the words, “What you seek is seeking you”. The series also includes Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Apart of Farhan and Fawad, the series casts South Asian actors like Mohan Kapur, Zenobia Shroff, Sagar Shaikh and Nimra Bucha.

Farhan had on Tuesday shared a note of gratitude to the cast and crew for their “conscious inclusiveness”, and also gave a special shout-out to Iman Vellani, who plays the titular role.

“The show is a celebration of diversity and it certainly will bring joy and pride of self-identity to millions of young girls and boys of the sub-continent,” an excerpt from Farhan’s note read.

“Farhan has so many stories to tell. He looks so cool in our show, it’s crazy that I’ve grown up watching him, and now I’m working with him,” Iman Vellani said in the video.

Touted as the first South Asian superhero ensemble project, Ms Marvel revolves around Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American youth.

It traces the journey of the teenager towards self-discovery as she realises her true worthwhile living a seemingly ordinary life in the US.
