Laurel Marsden Joins ‘Ms. Marvel’ Series As Zoe Zimmer

Laurel Marsden has been cast in Disney Plus’ Ms. Marvel as frenemy Zoe Zimmer.

Ms. Marvel is still filming in Atlanta and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming series has found another cast member in Laurel Marsden. In the Disney Plus series, Marsden will play Zoe Zimmer, who is a bully to Kamala Khan in the comics similar to Flash Thompson. It’s unclear if Zoe Zimmer will be a major villain in the series, but she will probably be a key part of Kamala’s origin story.

Laurel Marsden is best known for her work in the short-lived Quibi series, Survive, starring Sophie Turner. Back in December, Kevin Feige shared a behind-the-scenes look at Ms. Marvel, which showcased a new, diverse angle that will be explored in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its first Muslim superhero.
