Quote:Marvel Just Announced The MCU's Perfect Spider-Man Replacement.Screen Rant: (More In Link)
'Marvel Studios has already announced the perfect Spider-Man replacement
- Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel. Spider-Man has been described as "Marvel's
Mickey Mouse," their most recognizable and distinctive superhero brand.
That's why Marvel Studios went to such effort to reach an unprecedented deal
that brought the wall-crawler into the MCU, and it's why the recent collapse of
the Marvel/Sony deal is such a blow to their shared cinematic universe.
When Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man, they envisioned him as the
ultimate "Every-man Hero."
In a superhero universe filled with hyper-intelligent geniuses, strange visitors
from other worlds, military-trained super-soldiers, and scientists with breathtaking
anger management issues, Spider-Man is essentially an ordinary person who's
gained super-powers.
According to Lee himself, the idea for Spider-Man came from a surge in teen demand
for comic books, and he was envisioned as a character teens could identify with.
The MCU has followed the same approach; that's why Tom Holland's Spider-Man grew
up in a world of Avengers, and has been given such a close relationship with Tony Stark.
Marvel understood that their modern, teenage viewers had grown up on a diet of MCU
movies, and they see 2008's Iron Man as the beginning of their own superhero journey.
Their Spider-Man reflects this.
The loss of Spider-Man means that the MCU no longer has an "Every-man Hero" who
represents the teen audience. Fortunately, Marvel recently announced that they have
a replacement: Kamala Khan, who is getting her own Ms. Marvel series on Disney+.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has been teasing Kamala's MCU debut for over
a year now, stressing that the MCU's Ms. Marvel would be comic book accurate.
Those plans are finally coming to fruition, with Kamala set for Disney+. Ms. Marvel will
then migrate to the movies, where she could actually fill the Spider-Man-shaped hole
in the MCU.
It's easy to forget that Ms. Marvel was designed after the pattern of Spider-Man.
Her creators - Marvel editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, artists Adrian Alphona
and Jamie McKelvie, and writer G. Willow Wilson - envisioned her as another "Every-man
Hero", designed to represent the complexity of a modern, multicultural society.
Where Peter Parker was originally a Jewish kid, they created Kamala Khan as a young
Muslim, and the majority of her stories subtly explore themes of social justice in the context
of fundamentalist faith...'
