Seeing how casting is already underway, Marvel Studios should be ready to at least reveal a shortlist of actors, if not, the lead actor for the titular role. It’ll be interesting to see how the working title goes into play seeing how Kamala Khan in the comics is a New Jersey native, residing in Jersey City. One would hope that Marvel Studios would make the trip up to our playground in Jersey City, New Jersey to film Kamala’s neighborhood accurately.
