Warning: This article contains spoilers for upcoming Marvel comics.
Over the past decade, Ms. Marvel, a.k.a Kamala Khan, has risen to become Marvel's most iconic new superhero. Originally created by writer G. Willow Wilson, artists Adrian Alphona and Jamie McKelvie, and editor Sana Amanat, Kamala headlined her own solo comic for years, became an Avenger in no time, and now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Spider-Man. She's even made her way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Iman Vellani playing the title character in last year's Ms. Marvel series and reprising the role on the big screen in The Marvels later this year.
It may come as a shock, then, to learn that she's going to die. And yet, EW can exclusively reveal that's exactly what's going to happen in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #26 later this month.

Marvel has been teasing that a big death is coming in the issue. Peter Parker is certainly no stranger to death, having lost his Uncle Ben in his first story and watched his girlfriend Gwen Stacy killed by his archenemy in one of the most iconically devastating moments in superhero history. Even Peter himself died in the alternate Ultimate Universe that allowed Miles Morales to flourish in his place. So when Marvel began teasing a major character death in the upcoming issue Amazing Spider-Man #26, comic fans knew to expect the worst.
But Kamala has become an important part of the current Amazing Spider-Man comic run by writer Zeb Wells and artist John Romita Jr. As a civilian, she interns at Oscorp to keep an eye on the supposedly reformed Norman Osborn (the former Green Goblin). As Ms. Marvel, she helps Spider-Man protect people and stop villains. Unfortunately, bravery and heroism can be dangerous.

Kamala's status as Marvel's most visible Muslim superhero and her ongoing MCU spotlight make this decision especially shocking, but Marvel is not making it lightly. Later this summer, the publisher will release a special issue focused on the impact of Kamala's death. Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel will show the other heroes of the Marvel universe gathering to remember her. The issue will be written by three writers who each have a history with Kamala: Wilson, one of her original creators; Saladin Ahmed, who wrote the most recent Ms. Marvel ongoing comic series; and Mark Waid, who wrote her in Avengers and Champions. Look for that special issue to hit stores July 12.
In some ways, Kamala's death means she really has joined the upper echelon of Marvel icons like Captain America, Doctor Strange, and the original Captain Marvel, who all died before her. Like Kamala, Strange died just months before the release of a major MCU movie (last year's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). It remains to be seen whether Kamala will returns to the living like Steve Rogers and Stephen Strange or stay dead like Mar-Vell, who has never recovered from his 1982 death.
We've been chronicling major touchstones in Kamala's rise for years, so you better believe we're covering her fall as well. Stay tuned for more interviews and coverage of Kamala's death coming to EW in the near future.

‘Ms. Marvel’ Wins TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming

No matter the box office I'm so damn happy that she is getting more recognition for being an amazing actress from a wider audience.
Seems pretty universal that she's the best part of the movie
And she was that good from day one.
Never understood why it wasn't heralded more at the time.
I think that was the plan until the clusterf*ck. Hopefully she one of the leaders of the next phase.
Doesn't help she's playing a character nobody cares about
so you feel comfortable saying that?
Cause I don't.
I have no idea how EVERYBODY feels.
Just because a movie flopped doesn't mean nobody cared.
The streets weren't salivating for a Guardians movie.
Nobody thought 5 nights at Freddy's would break records on screen AND streaming (besides me)
Especially as someone in music you understand fan base niche etc
Ms. Marvel is a HUGE newer level character in Marvel. Been that.
I don't know how that stuff translates cause if I did I'd be a billionaire
That specific character is big and Marvel fumbled the big screen debut. But her TV series was excellent.
She got a following... Feige gotta figure this sh*t out not FAST...
BUT RIGHT.
She was the main character in the avengers game that was a dud
Ms. Marvel wasn't the problem in the game.. It didn't help Marvel switched her power set for the MCU...
But the live service, Micro transactions and trying to stay on schedule with the MCU TV shows and movies ruined the game...

Bro I ain't even a gamer and I know SHE ain't the reason that game dudded.
So you guys are saying ms marvel is a popular character?
Remember when 21 savage said Nas wasn't "relevant "? And many tried to actually defend that sh*t?
That's essentially the same thought process here.
In comic book circles she is and has been. Especially because of the excellent writing uniqueness of the character and background. Huge following.
Someone could go to a hip hop 50 concert filled with legends and they throw MF DOOM on the screen. Many so called diehard rap fans in 2023 40+ might still ask who is that?
That doesn't mean MF Doom ain't a legend RIP.
A Boogie is popular I wouldn't recognize him if he walked in with a sign that says I'm A Boogie. But to HIS hip hop audience he is. So is Mozzy.
Tech N9ne is another good example. Is he popular?
So the answer is by all metrics she IS popular despite box office or ratings.
Those things DO MATTER. But it's not the only or most important way to gauge these things.
After seeing the marvels I think she should have had a solo movie. She's very likeable. More than what I can say about Captain marvel. She's so flat after 3 movies in. There's no reason to like her character. I guess it makes sense Captain marvel to be in ms Marvel's movie because she is her inspiration but they haven't shown the viewer any reason why that is. What's so cool about Captain marvel that she is her hero? Because she's a woman?
