Fletcher rumoured to be on Disney’s Ms Marvel cast
It has been rumoured that Yasmeen Fletcher is set to play Nakia Bahadir, friend of Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel in the upcoming 2021 Disney show.
However, there has been no official announcement regarding casting for Ms Marvel as of yet.
Yasmeen’s rumoured casting is just one of the latest proposed Ms Marvel roles that have sparked controversy with Marvel fans.
The controversy stems from the fact that Yasmeen would be a Christian actress playing the role of a Muslim character, which some fans have deemed inappropriate.
