0:00.0	Hello, pod, I'm Chris Hewitt and welcome to the latest Empire Podcast preview special.
0:20.0	We seem to have fallen into a nice little habit of late of doing these ahead of Mustwatch
0:24.1	TV shows and Miss Marvel certainly falls into that category. It's the latest MCU show to hit
0:31.2	Disney+, which does this Wednesday, June 8th. And like Moonlight before it, it's a show that
0:37.7	introduces a brand new character who's going to be a major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
0:44.3	going forward. That character is Kamala Khan, aka Miss Marvel, a young Pakistani American girl who
0:52.0	lives in Jersey City with her family and is suddenly fine to self-embeused with cosmic powers,
0:58.3	which she takes in her stride given that she's a massive fan of the Avengers in general,
1:03.3	and one Avenger in particular, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, and if I should say
1:10.4	some of her look on Captain Marvel. And when next we've seen in the Marvels, the Captain Marvel

1:40.9	way beyond her year she pops right off the screen from the start even before she gets her powers,
1:47.4	which have been somewhat controversially tweaked slightly for this show. That's just one of the
1:54.0	things I talked about during the three interviews you're about to hear with the creator team behind
1:58.5	the six episode series, head directors Adelaim Balal, head writer and creator Bishakai Ali,
2:05.0	and producer and actual Kamala Khan co-creator Sana Amanet. Now, this isn't a spoiler special,
2:14.4	it is a preview of Miss Marvel is designed with your appetite for what's to come, but we do talk
2:19.8	about the first two episodes and certain things that happen in those first two episodes. Sometimes
2:25.6	we talk about those things a lot, sometimes we dance around them and talk about them in the abstract.
