Ms. Marvel on Disney Plus has already reinvented Kamala Khan from her comic book origin. But the show had one final twist for viewers: Kamala's DNA is ...

Marvel Studios has yet to announce any concrete plans for the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But some major opportunities for the company to do so are swiftly approaching. With Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the licensing of X-Men characters is no longer a hurdle. And at Marvel Comics, mutant status started to be an editorial planning point of nonzero significance, as it could very directly determine how available the character would be for broader use by the rest of Marvel Entertainment and the Walt Disney Company. But ironically there have never been more consequences to revealing that a non-mutant character is a mutant in Marvel Comics, due to the current status quo of the X-Men. Right now, in Marvel Comics, every mutant on Earth has protection under international law as a citizen of the living island of Krakoa, access to Krakoa’s global network of teleportation gates, and to mutant resurrection, a kind of de facto immortality. Absolutely not, which is what makes this mind-blowing for fans of Marvel Comics. In fact, Kamala is kind of the opposite of a mutant. That same year, one of the publisher’s rising stars, Squirrel Girl, was cheekily retconned out of the mutant status we’d been told she had for years. The companies’ licensing agreements meant that mutant-associated characters couldn’t appear in MCU movies, and non-mutant associated characters couldn’t appear in X-Men movies. “‘If any of [Kamala’s family] put the bangle on, would they have powers?’ The answer was always no, from a character perspective, no.” But however the cast and crew took it, in the show, Kamala shrugs it off. I was just blessed and lucky enough to be able to share that with Iman and everybody else.” “It was hilarious,” he told Marvel.com, “because she just was like, ‘This is so cool.’ She couldn’t believe that I was saying this to her. seemed off.” He tells her that there’s “something different” in her genes.

The 'Ms. Marvel' finale has big implications for the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — from that bombshell musical cue to that intriguing end-credits ...

And Kamala's mutant genes weren't the only surprise in the Ms. Marvel finale. Ms. Marvel's mutant lineage is also a major departure from the comics. That reveal is accompanied by the familiar notes of the 1990s animated X-Men show, teasing that yes, Kamala is a mutant. No Marvel project is complete without an end-credits scene, and after the episode concludes, we see a brief glimpse of Kamala back in her room. Theoretically she and her brother Aamir should have similar DNA, but Kamala's genetic makeup looks a bit different. Marvel's latest Disney+ saga introduced Iman Vellani as the titular hero, a bright-eyed high schooler taking her first steps toward superheroism.

The Ms. Marvel finale plot twist will be connected and expanded upon in The Marvels movie, confirms the show's head writer Bisha K. Ali.

Whether or not other Mutants from the comics will actually appear in The Marvels to expand upon the Ms. Marvel finale twist remains to be seen. Without revealing any spoilers, Ali confirms that The Marvels will 100% address Kamala's mutation background while sharing how much fun she had doing that setup in the Ms. Marvel finale. Like most of the MCU shows on Disney+, Ms. Marvel had a 6-episode run, with no word yet on if there will be a season 2. I was excited to help set up all these riddles for you guys that will lead into the movie where the story continues. Kamala learns from Bruno that he had looked into her DNA while comparing it to her family to learn more about her powers. Prior to the show premiering, it was established that Kamala would be joining the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, alongside Brie Larson's Carol Danvers and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau. However, before closing out the Ms. Marvel finale, the MCU drama dropped a big bomb on the viewers by revealing Kamala's origin of powers, which has caused some strong reactions online.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Ms. Marvel finale from the off. We kind of expected it, but MCU fans are still losing it over the tag scene ...

So hopefully the studio learns from its mistakes and The Marvels picks up directly after Ms. Marvel leaves off. As Redditor u/AdamInChCh wrote, “If we don’t get Muneeba at the start of The Marvels giving Carol a massive bag full of food as she leaves, we riot.” The last time a Marvel TV show set up a movie in its post-credits scene, fans were left disappointed, as Doctor Strange 2 mostly chucked out all the potential of WandaVision‘s ending.
