Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Explains Why Kamala Khan Is Not In ‘Captain Marvel’

It seems that Kamala Khan will not be in the upcoming Captain Marvel film but studio boss Kevin Feige had a very good explanation as to why.

During a recent interview with Comicbook.com, the producer was asked if Kamala Khan would be featured in the upcoming film. Kevin Feige simply said no and explained why. According to the producer, Kamala Khan’s story is a contemporary one about a teenager. She would not have even been born when Captain Marvel is taking place.

He then went on to say that Captain Marvel first had to be established in order to build up the character as Kamala Khan’s hero:

No. I think she’s a contemporary story. I don’t think she was a little kid in 1990. I’m not sure she was born in 1995. This is the first step towards introducing her hero is how you begin to bring her about at some point.

From the look things, Kamala Khan will probably be featured in a film in the future!
