Ms. Marvel’s Main Cast Iman Vellani Got Her Role Through WhatsApp

The 19-year-old actress said she got the casting call through a forwarded WhatsApp message from her aunt, and it's her first acting job since high school. She initially thought it was a ruse, but she went ahead and applied for the job nonetheless. When Marvel called and asked to fly her to Los Angeles, she couldn't believe it (LA).


Later, on a Zoom call with Marvel, film producer and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige personally informed Vellani that she had landed the main actress role in Ms. Marvel. He further stated that the decision was made unanimously by the team.


Because of its rising popularity among movie stars and the Hollywood community, WhatsApp is sometimes referred to as the "Hollywood messaging app." Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow, the female leads of Friends, one of the most successful television shows of all time, have a Whatsapp group where they remain in contact. Similarly, the cast of Spiderman and the Bridgerton Brothers communicate via Whatsapp groups.


Vellani met other notable superhero performers such as Tom Holland (Spiderman) and Brie Larson after getting her part (Captain Marvel).

 

Ms. Marvel will premiere on Disney+ in Pakistan on June 16th.
