Fans want Priyanka Chopra to play Pakistani-Muslim superhero Ms Marvel

Marvel president, Kevin Fiege confirmed making a film on Ms Marvel

The Avengers franchise will continue after the 'significance conclusion' in Avengers 4 that is scheduled to hit theatres in 2019, says Disney chief Bob Iger.

This suggests that the Marvel universe could explore any of the remaining 7,000 characters that still haven't been introduced to fans, reported Hindustan Times.

In a BBC interview, Fiege confirmed that after 2019's Captain Marvel, the studio will be planning a Ms Marvel film. In the Marvel comics, Ms Marvel is inspired by Captain Marvel to become a hero, hence the similarity in the name.

Fiege also mentioned that the studio is currently filming Captain Marvel with Brie Larson in the lead. It will be Marvel's first solo female superhero film where a female pilot named Carol Danvers turns into Captain Marvel after an encounter with aliens.

Following the events of Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel will have a huge role to play in the Marvel Universe starting with Avengers 4.

When news of Ms Marvel's debut spread like wild fire, fans were quick to share their two cents on the perfect actor for the role. While some did not agree, Chopra made it to the top of the list due to her South Asian heritage. Some even pointed out that that character should be played by a Pakistani-American instead.

Chopra also has some history with the character. In 2016, the 35-year-old actor voiced Ms Marvel for a video game.
