"Moon Knight" arrives, the new Marvel and Disney + 0:49
(CNN) --
Kamala Khan's "Ms. Marvel," a beloved recent addition to the superhero comic book canon, is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) this summer.
And judging by the trailer for the new series on Disney+ named after her, she's just as lovable and likable as she is in the comics.
Dotted with comic book speech bubbles, the new trailer for "Ms. Marvel" introduces Kamala, a doodling Muslim Pakistani high school student from New Jersey who dreams of one day joining the superheroes she idolizes.
Kamala, who was introduced in the comics in 2013 before getting her own series the following year, was Marvel's first Muslim-American female superhero.

Though our teenage heroine (played by Iman Vellani) will one day become one of Marvel's most powerful crime fighters, the series seems to serve as her origin story.
The Kamala we know runs into classmates who mispronounce her name and make fun of her Avengers t-shirt.
She gasps at the sight of a shirtless guy at a party surrounded by equally amazed friends.
And, especially, she imagines herself as a version of Captain Marvel, an icon with cosmic power in the MCU.
The future is in her hands.
Ms. Marvel, an Original series from Marvel Studios, starts streaming June 8 on @DisneyPlus.

Ese anhelo es pura fantasía, hasta que deja de serlo: el tráiler no nos muestra cómo Kamala consigue sus poderes, ni su alcance (no hay spoilers aquí), pero ella los describe como "cósmicos".
"No son realmente las chicas morenas de Jersey City las que salvan el mundo", dice Kamala en un momento del tráiler. Pero es probable que la serie "Ms. Marvel" demuestre que está equivocada.

What enemies will Kamala face beyond mean high school girls and intimidatingly attractive classmates?
Will her family know the secret of her superpowers?
And when will she be able to join her idol, Captain Marvel, in defending Earth from interstellar invaders?
(She is scheduled to appear in the upcoming "Captain Marvel" sequel, "The Marvels.")
The MCU loves to slowly build its characters, so it's likely that neither Kamala nor viewers will get all their questions answered.
Marvel fans have probably already started to come up with their theories, but they'll have to wait until June 8, when the series starts streaming on Disney+, to see how Kamala's story unfolds.
