“That would be cool”: Iman Vellani Already Has Plans to Team Up with Many X-Men Characters Including Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine
Iman Vellani is the upcoming new face of the MCU. Recently, in an interview, the 21-year-old opened up about the superheroes she wants to team up with in the future. In the finale of Ms Marvel, it was revealed that she is a mutant, while the 90s X-Men animated series theme plays in the background.
The Marvels and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also set up segments for X-Men in the MCU. In the interview, she admitted how she wants to team up with many X-Men characters, including Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
Iman Vellani wants to team up with X-Men like Emma Frost, Jubilee, & Wolverine
In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant about her latest movie, The Marvels, Iman Vellani opened up about her wish to team up with classic X-Men characters in Ms Marvel season 2. She said that she would love to team up with the likes of Emma Frost and Wolverine because their chemistry with Kamala in the comics is off the charts. Iman Vellani also wants to build a relationship with the younger X-Men, like, for example, Jubilee. In the interview, Iman Vellani said:
“Oh my God, there’s so many. I love Kamala’s relationships with older superheroes because it feels like she just has so many mom and dad superheroes. In the comic that I’m writing right now, I have her interacting with Emma Frost a lot, and I thought that was such a wonderful relationship because in Grant Morrison’s run, Emma is such a maternal figure and in a lot of ways, she really cares about the children, but she’s so cutthroat, and I love that she doesn’t sugarcoat anything for Kamala.”

She continued.
“She would be straight up, no BS telling her how things are, but then still stroke her hair and take her shopping and do all that. And I love to see her having a relationship like that. That would be cool. I always say Wolverine because their interaction in the comics made me very happy. Gosh. Angel, Jubilee, all the younger people. I think there’s so many to choose from, honestly. It’s impossible. Lila Cheney, imagine if she interacted with Lila. And Lila’s music is probably well-known, and Kamala is definitely a fan of hers, so that would be pretty cool to see Kamala freak out over her and then get teleported away. That’d be fun.”

Iman Vellani shares who she wants as the villain for Ms Marvel season 2
Although it has still not been confirmed whether Ms Marvel will return for season 2 on Disney+ at this moment, the chances of its comeback are pretty high given how fan-favorite Iman Vellani as Ms Marvel has become. In an exclusive interview with The Direct, she spills the tea on who she wants as a villain against Kamala Khan in Ms Marvel season 2.
“Definitely Doc.X. I think that’s a great villain from the comics and can really resonate with the Gen Z audience. 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? Yeah. Yeah, that’s one of my favorite comic storylines. So I would love to see that play out.”
In the comics, Doc X is a sentient computer virus that influences and connects with Kamala through her video games and goes on to blackmail her. The audience can watch or rewatch Ms Marvel on Disney+.
