Kevin Feige, Victoria Alonso, and Louis for championing this project and setting an example for the industry by exemplifying how diversity and representation should be handled both in front of and behind the camera, continued the Load Wedding star.

I admire her tenacity and perseverance because I am all too familiar with the struggles of getting side projects approved. Your efforts have paid off, and thanks to Ms. Marvel, all girls—not just those who are brown or Muslims—can now look for and recognise the superhero within. I appreciate you allowing me to participate in this.
