Iman Vellani already knows which villain she wants to appear in Ms. Marvel season 2
And it's a sentient computer virus
Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani already knows which villain she wants to face off against if a second season of the show happens – and it's a sentient computer virus from Marvel Comics.
"Definitely Doc.X. I think that's a great villain from the comics and can really resonate with the Gen Z audience," Vellani told The Direct when asked who she'd like the season 2 protagonist to be.
"It would be so interesting – I don't know, messing with kids' psyche almost when you have this villain who only exists on your phone, and on your laptops, and on all your screens that we can't avoid. I think it'd be really interesting position to put them all in to fight against something that you can't even see, right? That's one of my favorite comic storylines. So I would love to see that play out."
Doc.X first appears in Ms. Marvel Vol. 4 #14, which was published in 2017. After infiltrating the network in the greater New York City area – including Jersey City – Doc.X discovers that Kamala Khan is actually Ms. Marvel and tries to blackmail her into providing access to the SHIELD mainframe.
Ms. Marvel season 2 hasn't been confirmed yet, but Kamala made her big-screen debut in The Marvels alongside Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) as they faced off against Kree leader Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton).
Next up for the Marvel is Hawkeye spin-off series Echo, which is set to hit Disney Plus and Hulu on January 10. In the meantime, make sure you're up to date with what else is to come in the MCU with our guides to Marvel Phase 5 and Marvel Phase 6.
