In their quest for closure, Marvel fanatics can count Ms. Marvel actress Iman Vellani among their number. She told Elite Daily that the Earth-616 thing is a sore spot for her too. As Multiverse of Madness was rolling out, she had a lot of thoughts.
“Every time I talk to Kevin, we have this argument where I say, ‘The MCU is not 616,’” Vellani argued. “He’s like, ‘It is because I said so.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s 199999’ [a different Earth continuity previously outlined by Marvel]. He hates it. So, we keep having this argument, and then they put 616 in the movie. I’m like, ‘Kevin, you know it’s not 616.’ He just sends me a sad face. I was like, ‘Great.’”
Feige noted how much of a Marvel fan both Vellani and Spider-Man star Tom Holland are. But, unfortunately, they aren’t the ones making decisions. So, you’re just going to have to deal with what the stated distinctions are at this moment.
“Much like Tom Holland and Peter Parker, Iman is a much bigger Marvel fan than we realized,” Feige joked with Empire Magazine. “[On set] she carries this Unabomber notebook with her everywhere, with her scribbles and ideas. And why wouldn’t we want to hear them? Not just because she’s playing the lead, she’d be commenting on the show online. So, better comment before the show’s done, and try to incorporate some of those ideas.”
