Riz Ahmed and Mindy Kaling offer to get started on writing the screenplay for Ms. Marvel

[reluctantlylove]

So when do @MarvelStudios want me @mindykaling @kumailn to get started on the MsMarvel screenplay ?
- Riz Ahmed (@rizmc) May 16, 2018
- Kevin Feige recently confirmed in an interview with BBC that a Kamala Khan film is "definitely sort of in the works". For those who don't know, Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American superhero who lives in New Jersey.

Good god, no. I actually want this to be good.

[reluctantlylove]

I’m sure it was a joke more than anything.

[how_vintage]

Lol he must be. I mean I hope he doesn't really believe just because they're either Pakistani or South Asian and a name in the industry that they're genuinely in the running for something like this. I didn't like 'The Big Sick' and I don't like Kumail either. What does Riz know about writing a screenplay anyway and I don't really know much about Mindy to comment on her. Any Pakistani women to involve in his joke or we just expecting Pakistani men to run with this?? No thanks!

As a Pakistani and a Marvel fan, I just want this to be done right!

Ugh, kumail is horrible. His big sick movie was so demeaning to south Asian women. Plus I remember his response to Jimmy Kimmel mean tweets, and I've disliked him since then

[how_vintage]

It's precisely because of how South Asian women were portrayed in 'The Big Sick' that I don't want him anywhere near Kamala. Just because he's Pakistani with success in Hollywood doesn't mean he gets to be a part of this. He can fuck off.

nah sis you can blame her, especially for putting on that accent. That shit made me sooo mad

[vanouria]

ugh... You're right lmao kumail is still the biggest one to blame for allowing her to be cast despite being Pakistani himself. Not to mention all the other ways he shits on brown women in that boring ass movie. UGH I HATE HIM

[stormydown]

holy shit, I had no idea Vella Lovell wasn't South Asian.

[vanouria]

mte he is trash

[serenidad]

Came here to say this. Keep Kumail and his trash views of desi women away from this screenplay.

[stillglows]

mte! i'm all for a ms marvel movie but not with these three!

[colorfilm]

agreed. it should be a* pakistani woman writing this and tbh ive been creeped out by riz ever since allegations came out

[helders]
